Vitaceutica®

Many scientific studies have proven the legendary effects of mushrooms on the improvement of health and vitality. Mushrooms contain a variety of phytochemicals which have powerful health supporting properties. [1].

Agaricus blazei Murill (ABM)

Amongst the edible mushrooms which are found to have medicinal properties, Agaricus Blazei Murill (commonly known as Agaricus Brazil Mushroom) has become increasingly popular because of its ability to support human health. ABM is originated from Piedade, a small village in the highland areas of Atlantic forest in the province of Sao Paolo, Brazil. The people from this rural area are known to live healthier than the average population in the whole of Brazil. When the Government studied the demographics of this region, they found that ABM is a common part of the villagers’ diet. ABM has, in actual fact, already been extensively used for hundreds if not thousands of years as a non-prescriptive alternative remedy to tackle a wide range of health challenges. Although ABM originated from Brazil, it has been widely cultivated in Japan (a.k.a. the “Royal Sun Mushroom” or “Himematsutake”), United States, Korea, China and Taiwan (a.k.a. “巴西蘑菇”, “姬松茸”) in recent decades and has successfully emerged as one of the most popular medicinal mushrooms.
