Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.

An edible mushroom species, sometimes called almond mushroom, traditionally used in parts of Brazil and Japan and now sold as a dried powder or extract in supplements.

Why it’s used

Taken by some for general immune support, a use rooted in traditional practice and marketed extract claims.

What the evidence says

Human clinical evidence is limited to small, often poorly controlled trials, mostly in cancer patients undergoing other treatment. No mainstream body has established a reliable effect from oral supplementation in healthy people.
