Over thousands of years, several types of mushrooms have been used to maintain health, preserve youth and increase longetivity.  Such medicinal aspects of mushrooms have been passed down through folklore.  In ancient China and Japan, some of these mushrooms were so valued that only emperors or royal families could afford them.  Only recently (within the last 20 years), has the scientific study of mushrooms on their healing properties been initiated.  Mushrooms are very rich in high quality proteins, nucleic acids, vitamins and minerals.  Also contained are the dietary fibers such as Beta-D-glucans, chitins and heteropolysaccharides.  Among others, some specific types of polysaccharides, called Beta 1,3 and 1,6 glucans have engendered an intense benefit on human health, particularly on the immune system.

The six mushrooms contained in this MUSHROOM EMPERORS™ have been typically prized in traditional Japanese and Chinese herbology and are very rich in such polysaccharides and other unique properties scientifically proven in recent studies.
