Mushroom β-glucans are powerful allies against inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). They help by calming the immune system, reducing inflammation markers like TNF-α and IL-6, and strengthening the gut barrier. These compounds show greater benefits than β-glucans from grains or yeast and can help manage conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
