Copper and Zinc-Enriched Mycelium of Agaricus Blazei Murrill: Bioaccumulation and Bioavailability

This research explored how mushroom mycelium can be enriched with essential minerals like copper and zinc to create natural nutritional supplements. The study found that the mushroom tissue could effectively accumulate these minerals and make them available for human absorption when consumed. This has important implications for developing natural mineral supplements. Impacts on everyday life: • Provides a natural alternative to synthetic mineral supplements • Offers a new way to address mineral deficiencies through food • Demonstrates how mushrooms can be enhanced to provide better nutrition • Shows potential for developing more effective dietary supplements • Could lead to more sustainable methods of mineral supplementation
