Pleurotus ostreatus (extract, powder and capsules)
Pleurotus ostreatus, widely known as the oyster mushroom, is the second most widely consumed edible mushroom globally and is gaining popularity as a nutritional supplement. We provide it in three forms: pure extract, finely ground powder, and easy-to-use capsules containing either extract or powder..
Key Characteristics & Nutritional Profile
Pleurotus naturally grows on decomposing hardwood—particularly beech and oak—throughout forests worldwide. Its distinctive fan-shaped caps are the reason behind its “oyster” nickname.
Vitamins: Packed with B-complex vitamins such as niacin (B₃), riboflavin (B₂), pantothenic acid (B₅), and folate (B₉), which play vital roles in energy metabolism and nervous system function.
Minerals: A rich source of potassium, iron, and zinc—key minerals that support heart health, red blood cell formation, and immune system performance.
Proteins & Polysaccharides: Contains essential amino acids needed for protein synthesis, along with the beta-glucan Pleuran, recognized for its immune-supportive effects.
Research & Applications
Research has shown that oyster mushroom extracts offer several health benefits, including:
Antioxidant Protection: Helping to combat free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body.
Cholesterol and Lipid Management: Contributing to lower levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, which may support healthy weight and metabolic balance.
Immune System Support: Enhancing the activity of macrophages and natural killer cells, boosting the body’s immune response and overall defense mechanisms.
