In 2009 a randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trial documenting 6 months of Agaricus blazei consumption was published. The study revealed that consumption of the mushroom enhanced people's immune response. At the end of the study, subjects given Agaricus blazei increased their neutrophil levels (neutrophils are a type of white blood cell essential for the immune response). Researchers also noted that every subject given Agaricus blazei experienced a reduction in blood sugar levels.

Another randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical study revealed that Agaricus blazei consumption decreased insulin resistance. Both studies show that Agaricus blazei makes a great choice for immune system enhancement as well as for people concerned with their blood sugar levels.
