Protect Your Heart

The morel mushroom (Morchella esculenta) may help protect your heart during chemotherapy. In mouse studies, it reduced heart damage caused by chemo drugs like doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide. It lowered key markers of heart stress, restored natural antioxidants, and kept heart tissue healthy without interfering with the cancer-fighting power of the treatment.
