2,000+ species of Russula mushrooms were found to eliminate free radicals up to 85% at 5mg/mL and had huge disease-fighting properties, including 94% HIV inhibition at low doses. The star compound, R. griseocarnosa, had powerful liver protection - reducing oxidative stress by 40% and liver scarring by 30% in lab studies. They pack unusually high protein (19-32%) and demonstrated clear anticancer properties through multiple cellular pathways.
