Aspirin Ulcer Blocker

In mice, a polysaccharide from the edible poplar fieldcap mushroom (Agrocybe aegerita) reduced aspirin-caused stomach ulcers by about 68% and helped the stomach lining heal. It lowered inflammation and protected stomach cells from dying, making for a possible food-based way to reduce ulcer risk for people who rely on NSAIDs.
