Gut Inflammation Relief

Gut Inflammation Relief

A novel protein from king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) eased colitis in mice by lowering inflammatory cytokines, restoring oxidative balance, and boosting immune function. It reshaped gut microbiota, reducing harmful bacteria like Escherichia, Shigella, and Lachnoclostridium, and shifted lipid metabolism toward beneficial terpenoid production.
