After treatment with white button mushroom extract in mice and patients with prostate cancer, scientists discovered a decline in the amount of immune-suppressing cells in tumors.

The bidirectional research examines both laboratory findings and human clinical trial data, revealing that the medicinal use of white button mushrooms reduces the type of cells that suppress the immune system and facilitate the spread of prostate cancer.

The unassuming yet popular white button mushroom has cancer-fighting abilities, according to the results of a human clinical trial on the use of food as medicine. Not only does it slow tumor growth, but it also allows cancer-fighting immune cells to do their job effectively.
