Why Research Matters

Did you know that the U.S. National Library of Medicine keeps one of the largest science libraries in the world? Their website, PubMed, has millions of research papers from trusted medical and life science journals.
There are now hundreds of published studies on Agaricus blazei Murrill mushrooms. To make things easy, we’ve organized many of them by topic below. We’ll keep adding more as new research comes out.

Science Speaks for Itself

Click any topic below to see the actual study abstract on PubMed or other reliable research sites.

Allergy & Hypersensitivity Support

Studies suggest ABM may help support a balanced immune response to allergens by modulating Th1/Th2 activity, histamine release, and IgE levels.

Antioxidant & Cellular Protection

Defending against oxidative stress and supporting healthy aging.

Antiviral Support (with COVID-19)

ABM has been studied for its potential to support immune responses against viral challenges.

Brain & Cognitive Health

Research suggests ABM may help support brain health by modulating oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and immune responses. Studies include Parkinson’s models, cognitive aging, and mild cognitive impairment.

Population studies suggest a possible link between mushroom consumption and a reduced risk of cognitive decline.

Preclinical studies suggest ABM may help protect neurons against oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson’s models.

ABM has been studied for its potential mood-supportive effects in stress-related models.

Animal studies suggest ABM extracts may help protect brain tissue from age-related oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Cellular Health & Protective Functions

Chemotherapy Support & Quality of Life

Research has explored ABM’s potential as a supportive therapy during chemotherapy. Studies suggest possible benefits in immune modulation, NK cell activity, quality of life, and protection against chemotherapy-related cellular stress.

Diabetes & Metabolic Wellness

Fungal & Antifungal Support

ABM has been studied for its potential antifungal properties, including activity against Candida albicans.

Gastrointestinal Health & Gut Support

Balanced microbiome & gastrointestinal comfort

Honey Bee & Environmental Research

Liver & Detoxification Support

Metabolic & Cardiovascular Support

Blood sugar, cholesterol, weight management

Neurological & Cognitive Health

Supporting brain, nerve, and cognitive wellness

Immune System & Healthy Response to Challenges

Supporting a balanced immune response and inflammatory control

Parasite & Infection Support

Preclinical studies have explored ABM’s potential to help support the body’s natural defenses against parasitic infections by modulating immune responses.

Physical Training & Recovery

Pregnancy & Women’s Wellness

Safety & Tolerability

Sepsis & Severe Infection Support

Preclinical studies have explored ABM’s potential to help modulate immune and inflammatory responses in severe infections, including sepsis models.

Stress, Mood & Mental Wellness
