Liver Support

Mushrooms produce ergostane and lanostane compounds that may help protect the liver by reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic damage linked to fatty liver disease. This review identified 20 mushroom-derived molecules with anti-MAFLD potential, most from polypore species known for potent triterpenoids.
