Health Benefits
Mushrooms are amazing for the immune system! They are known for their ability to even increase the efficacy of chemotherapy. They are also a source of the trace minerals selenium, copper and zinc. These are small, but essential nutrients that can affect significant change in your body. And unlike a multivitamin, the trace nutrients found in mushrooms come from plant-based compounds known as phytochemicals, also referred to as antioxidants which are powerful players in the prevention of cancer.
Crab is a great source of protein, healthy fats and has a large amount of trace minerals as well!
