red blood cells and promotes good vision
and healthy skin.
Vitamin B3: Niacin keeps the body’s digestive
and nervous systems in good shape.
Mushrooms & Vitamins
Vitamin B5 – Pantothenic Acid: responsible in
the production of hormones
Vitamin B9 - Folate: essential for the formation
of red and white blood cells in bone
marrow.
Vitamin H – Biotin: Is essential in the
metabolism of proteins and.
Mushrooms & Minerals
Sodium: Mushrooms contain no salt.
Potassium: Mushrooms contain more
potassium than most other fruit and
vegetables. mushroom contains more
potassium than a banana.
Calcium: 100g of mushrooms contains
2mg of calcium.Calcium provides the
structure for teeth and bones and is
needed for muscle contraction.
Mushrooms & Minerals
Iron: Mushrooms are good source of
iron
Zinc: stimulates the activity of
approximately 100 enzymes that
supports a healthy immune
system.
Magnesium: helps maintain normal
muscle and nerve function.
 Mushrooms & Minerals
Selenium: an antioxidant, protecting
body cells from damage that might
lead to heart disease and some
cancers.
Ergothioneine: naturally occurring,
antioxidant which is found in
mushrooms.
