Anti-Aging Blends

Extracts from five mushrooms—button (Agaricus bisporus), shiitake (Lentinula edodes), enoki (Flammulina velutipes), king oyster (Pleurotus eryngii), and oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus)—were tested alone and in pairs. Certain combinations, like button + enoki and shiitake + enoki, showed synergistic power, boosting both antioxidant and anti-glycation activity beyond what single mushrooms achieved. These effects suggest mushroom blends may better protect against oxidative stress and aging-related damage.
