Oxidative Stress Defense

Oxidative Stress Defense

Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), and poplar mushroom (Cyclocybe aegerita) showed strong antioxidant activity. In vivo, oyster mushroom preserved key antioxidant enzymes while reducing lipid damage and oxidative enzymes in a stress model. These effects directly protect cells from oxidative damage linked to aging, inflammation, and chronic disease.
