Selenium-enriched oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) produced powerful bioactive polysaccharides with enhanced antioxidant and metabolic support. The enriched extracts showed more antioxidant activity than non-enriched mushrooms and blocked 69% of harmful glycation compounds that drive inflammation and aging. They also moderately inhibited enzymes tied to blood sugar spikes.
