May support heart health

Enoki mushrooms have been shown in studies to support several elements of heart health. For instance, research on animals revealed that hamsters given enoki mushroom extract or powder had lower triglyceride, total, and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels than those in a control group.

Another test-tube study found that enoki mushrooms' antioxidant content may help reduce the development of atherosclerosis, a risk factor for heart disease that is defined by the accumulation of fatty plaque in the arteries. Enoki mushroom extract may also lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, according to numerous earlier animal studies. Even yet, further human studies are required to determine how eating enoki mushrooms as part of a balanced diet may improve heart health.
