Are you looking for a vital mushroom for vitality, resilience and daily organism care?

Meet Agaricus, a mushroom also known as the almond mushroom, Agaricus blazei Murill, Brazilian mushroom or Himematsutake. It originally comes from South America, later gained great popularity especially in Japan and today is one of the most famous vital mushrooms in the world of functional nutrition, wellness, biohacking and a healthy lifestyle.

In traditional cultures, Agaricus has long been associated with vitality, natural resilience of the organism and overall body care. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as Ji Song Rong and is primarily associated with the Spleen, Stomach and Intestines. Its nature is described as warm, and its taste as sweet to slightly pungent.

Our Agaricus BIO contains finely ground powder from the fruiting bodies of the almond mushroom. It is therefore not an isolated substance or a concentrated extract, but a more natural, minimally processed form of the mushroom. Thanks to this, the product retains the natural complex of substances commonly found in Agaricus – for example, polysaccharides including beta-glucans, fibre, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and other bioactive components.

The practical form of vegan capsules can be easily incorporated into your routine at home, at work or when travelling. The capsules are plant-based and are smaller in size 1 for easier swallowing.

The raw materials for our vital mushroom products undergo thorough laboratory testing. The authenticity of the raw material, microbiology, heavy metals, moisture, batch consistency, active substance content and other undesirable compounds (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons – PAH) are tested.

Agaricus, almond mushroom for vitality and an active lifestyle

Agaricus or almond mushroom (Agaricus blazei Murill) is a mushroom from the Agaricaceae family. In English it is known as Brazilian mushroom or Almond mushroom, in Japanese as Himematsutake and in traditional Chinese medicine as Ji Song Rong.

The Czech name „almond mushroom“ refers to its delicately sweet, almond scent. In nature, it has a light brown to golden cap and is associated with sunnier areas, which is why it is sometimes called the sun mushroom.

From the perspective of TCM, Agaricus is primarily associated with the care of Qi, the defensive energy Wei Qi, vitality and digestion. Traditionally, it is sought after by people who want to take care of their inner strength, active lifestyle and long-term balance of the organism.

Agaricus and scientific studies

Agaricus is one of the mushrooms that has long been the subject of expert interest. Research focuses mainly on naturally occurring substances in the fruiting bodies of Agaricus blazei Murill, such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans, enzymes, fibre, minerals, vitamins and other bioactive components.

In published studies, Agaricus appears in connection with topics such as functional nutrition, natural bioactive substances, quality of life, vitality and overall balance of the organism. These findings are part of ongoing scientific research and cannot be understood as approved health claims for the effects of the product.

Whole mushroom vs. extract

Our Agaricus mushroom contains whole fruiting body powder. This means that it is not an isolated substance or a highly concentrated extract, but a more natural variant. You will appreciate this form if you prefer minimally processed food supplements, a gentler effect and want to include Agaricus in your regimen as close to its natural form as possible.

Why capsules

Plant-based capsules represent a practical and convenient form for daily use. They are easy to dose, do not require any preparation and you can have them at hand at home, at work or when travelling. We deliberately chose smaller sized capsules to make them easier to swallow even for sensitive individuals.
