13. Chaga Mushroom: The Immune System's Ally
Chaga mushroom, often referred to as the "king of medicinal mushrooms," is one of nature's most potent immune-supporting fungi. This remarkable mushroom contains complex molecules such as beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and triterpenes that help enhance immune system function. Research has shown that chaga can increase the production of cytokines, proteins that regulate immune response and inflammation. The high concentration of antioxidants in chaga, particularly melanin, helps protect immune cells from oxidative stress and damage. Chaga's unique combination of compounds makes it a powerful ally in maintaining a balanced and robust immune system.
