VITAMIN B BOOST
Mushrooms are nutritional powerhouses, providing a source of B Vitamins including Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3) and Pantothenic acid (B5) which all help reduce tiredness and fatigue, ensuring you stay energised even on the dreariest days.

SHINING A LIGHT ON VIT D
As the days get darker and winter approaches, it is important to keep your immune system healthy throughout the season. Did you know that Vitamin D is an important nutrient to support the normal functioning of the immune system but is hard to find naturally in many foods? Look for UV-treated mushrooms in supermarkets, as they can offer at least 5 micrograms of Vitamin D per 100g portion.
FOLATE TO SUPPORT IMMUNE HEALTH
Mushrooms also provide a source of folate and selenium which help support the normal function of the immune system and reduce tiredness and fatigue.
SELENIUM SUPPORT
Selenium in mushrooms works to improve our immune function and mental health. This mineral also helps to keep hair and nails healthy and acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells against oxidative stress.
NATURALLY LOW IN CALORIES
Mushrooms are full of vitality, yet they’re incredibly low in calories. One serving of plain mushrooms contains just 22 calories and absolutely no fat.
POTASSIUM TOP UP
Potassium is an essential mineral for our diets that helps with normal muscle function, and maintaining normal blood pressure.
