Overview

King Trumpet mushroom offers promising benefits, especially for metabolic health and antioxidant support, with a 2g serving providing bioactive compounds. While clinical studies on King Trumpet show positive effects at varying doses, the product's 'full spectrum' claim and the natural variations in mushroom composition mean the precise effective dosage of specific functional compounds (like beta-glucans or ergothioneine) provided by this 2g serving is not explicitly quantified, making direct comparison to research doses challenging. However, 2g is a reasonable general dose for daily mushroom intake.

The Good

Provides King Trumpet mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii), supported by research for antioxidant and metabolic benefits.

Utilizes both mycelial biomass and fruit body powder, offering a 'full spectrum' of mushroom compounds.

Rich in natural antioxidants like ergothioneine, glutathione, polyphenols, and flavonoids.

The Bad

The exact concentration of key bioactive compounds (e.g., beta-glucans, ergothioneine) within the 2g serving is not specified, making it hard to compare with precise research doses of isolated compounds.

While a 2g serving is good, some studies showing significant metabolic improvements used higher doses of King Trumpet mushroom (e.g., up to 150g/day over short periods for acute effects or 18g/day for long-term observational benefits), which would be impractical to achieve with this supplement.

General health claims made based on mushroom's constituents rather than specific human clinical trials on this exact product, which is common for single-ingredient supplements.
