White Button Mushroom – Holland

Included here were studies on laboratory animals involving the development of arthritis–an area where we expect to see more news about the health benefits of mushrooms.
Protection against cardiovascular disease has become an area of special research interest in crimini mushrooms. Along with extracts from oyster, shiikate, maitake, and white button mushrooms, extracts from crimini mushrooms have been found to reduce the binding of certain immune cells onto the lining of the aorta. When mushrooms reduce this binding, they also lower risk of damage to the aorta and risk of blood flow problems.
