Versatile Black Hoof Mushroom Health Benefits
Black Hoof mushroom, like other mushrooms we carry, contains beta glucans. Beta glucans help support immune system function. Additionally, Black Hoof mushroom also carries a compound known as Hispolon. Modern research found Hispolon to support healthy inflammation levels both during in vivo and in vitro trials. Hispolon was also found to support cellular health and appears to promote apoptosis in harmful cells in select in vitro studies.
There are several lesser known Black Hoof mushroom benefits since it’s not a very popular mushroom extract. However, we feel that it should be more popular due to its unique effect profile. Recent research looked into Phellinus linteus benefits and discovered that the polysaccharides within the fruiting body of Black Hoof mushroom appear to support neuroprotection. Black Hoof mushroom extract showed notable efficacy in producing this effect in a few in vitro studies, however, in vivo studies are still in progress aiming to verify these results.
In vivo studies are being conducted to strengthen the current findings of Black Hoof mushroom health benefits on our bodies. However, one of the more interesting animal Black Hoof mushroom studies was performed on rats undergoing exhaustive exercise. Results of this experiment demonstrated that the administration of Black Hoof mushroom promoted endurance during physical activity. This suggests that Black Hoof mushroom may be effective as an exercise supplement and may support endurance.
