Why mushrooms?
Mushrooms contain fibres such as beta-glucans and chitin that humans can’t digest but gut bacteria can. That makes them a natural prebiotic.
Reishi
A traditional mushroom used for centuries in East Asia, valued for its beta-glucan content.
Shiitake
A popular culinary mushroom and a good source of fibre.
Maitake
Also called “hen of the woods”, maitake is another mushroom rich in beta-glucans.
