Antioxidant Rich

Antioxidant Rich

Golden chanterelle mushrooms (Cantharellus cibarius) are rich in antioxidants, with optimized extracts showing high total antioxidant values (TAS: 5.5 mmol/L) and low oxidant levels (TOS: 6.1 μmol/L). These properties help combat aging and diseases like Alzheimer’s by reducing oxidative stress. The extracts also slowed lung cancer cell growth and inhibited enzymes linked to memory loss, showing 16–20% enzyme inhibition.
