【Extraction solvents】: Water
【Appearance】: Brownish yellow fine powder
【Particle size】: 95% pass 80 mesh size
【Main ingredients】: The main active ingredients in Agaricus bisporus include polysaccharides and triterpenoids. Polysaccharides, mainly β – glucans, have significant immune regulatory functions and can activate macrophages and natural killer cells, enhancing the body’s immunity. At the same time, it also exhibits anti-tumor and antioxidant activity. Triterpenes are important secondary metabolites with pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and anti-tumor effects. Some triterpenoids have direct cytotoxic effects on cancer cells.
【Storage conditions】:Store at room temperature in a sealed manner, away from light, and in a ventilated, cool, and dry environment.
【Shelf life】: 24 months from the production date

Modern Pharmacological Research on Button Mushroom(Agaricus Bisporus) Extract
- Key Chemical Components:
The primary bioactive constituents are polysaccharides(especially β-1,3/1,6-D-glucans), dietary fibers, proteins/peptides(including lectins), and phenolic compounds. It also contains ergosterol (provitamin D2), vitamins (B-group), and minerals (selenium, potassium).
- Documented Pharmacological Benefits (Based on Preclinical Studies):
- Immunomodulation & Anticancer: β-glucans enhance immune function (activating macrophages, NK cells) and exhibit antitumor activity via apoptosis induction and inhibition of angiogenesis.
- Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory: Phenolics and polysaccharides scavenge free radicals and suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6).
- Metabolic Health: Demonstrates antihyperlipidemic (lowers LDL cholesterol) and antidiabetic effects (improves insulin sensitivity, inhibits α-glucosidase).
- Antimicrobial & Prebiotic: Shows antibacterial/fungal activity; polysaccharides may promote beneficial gut microbiota.
- Hepatoprotective & Neuroprotective: Animal models indicate protective effects against liver damage and oxidative stress in neural tissues.
- Potential Drug & Health Interactions:
- Antidiabetic Drugs: May cause additive hypoglycemic effects.
- Antihypertensive/Anticoagulant Drugs: Possible additive blood pressure-lowering effects; theoretical increased bleeding risk with blood thinners (e.g., warfarin).
- Immunosuppressants: May counteract medications used in autoimmune diseases or organ transplants.
- Surgery: Discontinue use at least 2 weeks pre-surgery due to blood sugar and immune modulation concerns.
- Taboos & Contraindications:
- Allergy: Contraindicated in individuals with known mushroom allergies.
- Pregnancy & Lactation: Avoid therapeutic/extract use due to insufficient safety data (culinary amounts are safe).
- Autoimmune Diseases: Use with caution (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus) as immune stimulation may exacerbate symptoms.
- Gout: Contains purines; high intake may affect susceptible individuals.
- Dosage & Administration:
No universally established clinical dosage exists. In studies, doses vary widely (e.g., 250–1000 mg/kg in animal models). As a dietary supplement, follow the manufacturer’s label (typically 500–1500 mg/day of extract). For therapeutic purposes, consultation with a healthcare provider is essential.
