Functional mushrooms have long been known for their health-boosting properties, and new research is unlocking even more benefits - specifically for gut health.
We harnesses these benefits to support focus, energy, immunity, and overall wellness. But how do mushrooms like Reishi, Chaga, and Lion's Mane work their magic in our bodies, especially through the gut? The answer lies in mushroom polysaccharides.
What Are Mushroom Polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates found abundantly in the cell walls of functional mushrooms. Known for their immune-supporting and antioxidant properties, these compounds play a crucial role in promoting a healthy gut microbiome. Research suggests that they serve as powerful prebiotics, feeding beneficial gut bacteria and contributing to a balanced and resilient gut ecosystem. Read more about the study here.
How Do Mushroom Polysaccharides Support Gut Health?
Mushroom polysaccharides interact with gut microbiota to enhance the gut’s integrity and overall health. Here’s how:
- Boosting Beneficial Bacteria - Polysaccharides encourage the growth of gut-friendly bacteria, which are essential for digestion, immunity, and even mental clarity.
- Supporting Gut Barrier Function - Functional mushrooms, like those in Flow Brew blends, contain polysaccharides that help strengthen the gut lining, supporting digestion and nutrient absorption
- Managing Inflammation - Some polysaccharides have anti-inflammatory properties that may aid in reducing gut inflammation and improving conditions like IBS.
Why Gut Health Matters for Whole-Body Wellness
A healthy gut microbiome is vital for not only digestion but also for mental and immune health. The gut-brain axis - the link between our digestive system and mental health - suggests that a well-balanced microbiome can positively impact mood, focus, and even our response to stress.
