Hello 

I have just uploaded my latest interview

Scientists and researchers are excited about Agaricus Blazei mushroom.

If there is one common thread regarding nutritional mushrooms, it is that mushroom provide powerful immune system support. It seems that most mushrooms share this characteristic. We have discussed many of these mushrooms in previous interviews. Here is a link to those podcasts.

Agaricus Blazei or Royal Agaricus

There is another important consideration that exists with all nutritional products. It has everything to do with our discussions and how to stay on the legal side of FDA regulations. As you may well know, a company cannot make medical claims for supplements. This is a challenge when discussing the science of nutritional products and mushrooms may be the best example.

There are thousands of studies on the benefits of mushrooms. These different mushrooms are the results of significant scientific inquiry. This fact alone tells us a great deal. The most important takeaway is that there is exciting benefit in these mushrooms to justify hundreds or thousands of studies. This gives us more confidence.

Exploring the Science

Exploring the science is not the easiest thing. Here a way to explore a nutrient using Google Scholar as search tool for scientific studies

• Go to Scholar.Google.com
• Enter “agaricus blazei“. I got 12,300 results.
• Enter “agaricus blazei cancer“. I got 5,600 results
• Enter “agaricus blazei cancer” and filter for “Since 2019. I got 324 results. Your results will be greater as the number of studies is growing.

This suggests that there is a lot of growing interest. Because there are a lot of positive indicators the research is ongoing. Money is not spent on research unless there are positive and encouraging results. The sheer number of ongoing studies suggest that Agaricus Blazei is a potent and powerful immune support modulator and worthy of the research.

The other exciting fact is that we now know much more about how and why these products exert their benefits. We now know that they are beneficial for the immune system. This is where it gets tricky. Much of the research has been done are cancer studies. This is the big red flag when the FDA looks at claims.

This leads us to declare that Health Quest Podcast, and our guests and our sponsors are not making any claims for medical benefits from nutritional products. The benefits are nutritional only. For all medical concerns see your health care professional.

When we mention studies that suggest a benefit, that does not make that product a drug. Even when used in a medical study that does not make them a drug. When a study reveals a benefit in human health from a nutrient it reveals the powerful benefit that nutrition plays in human health.

It is important that you as a consumer understand this distinction. Responsible companies will not make medical claims. When you encounter a company making medical claims for their products, ask for the proof. If they don’t have proof for their claims, then you need to be wary because that company is either ignorant of the law, is making false claims or is willing to violate FDA regulation in selling. Either way that company is a problem and likely cannot be fully trusted.

In order to get the best products you have to seek out companies that make high quality products that represent the studied products. With a good company you can feel confident and comfortable exploring their products. You can listen to the interview and learn about the powerful benefits of Agaricus Blazei mushroom.
