Mushrooms Could Do Magic for Your Immune System – and Your Portfolio

Mushrooms could do magic for your health. In fact, according to researchers form Griffith University, mushrooms have the “ability to activate cell immunity in humans, according to The New Daily. “They do this through their possession of beta-glucans, which humans don’t have. So, when human cells come into contact with this foreign body, the immune system starts to fire up and respond.” That’s creating opportunity for companies such as NeonMind Biosciences Inc. (CSE: NEON)(OTC: NMDBF), United Natural Foods Inc. (NASDAQ:UNFI), New Wave Holdings Corp. (OTC:TRMNF)(CSE:SPOR), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), and HAVN Life Sciences (CSE:HAVN)(OTC:HAVLF).

Mushrooms such as Reishi can help with sleep, anxiety, and depression, according to Teelixir. Lion’s mane can help with memory, according to Healthline. Chaga can help with inflammation for example, according to Best Products. Turkey tail can help support the immune system, and assist with some cancer prevention, says Healthline. Such discoveries could do the trick for investors, too. All as the global market for functional mushrooms was $5.8 billion in 2018, according to market research firm, Mordor Intelligence. Between 2019 and 2024, it’s expected to grow 6.4% a year, according to a CNBC report.
