Agaricus blazei Murill (ABM) has traditionally been used
as a prevention and cure of several diseases, such as cancer,
diabetes, hypertension, immunostimulant, due to its contents
such as 1,3-β-D-Glucan, ergosterol, agaritine, tocoferolum,
scorbic acid, terpenes. This study is carried out in order to
uncover which doses of ABM powder treatment, classified as
suitable doses for a healthy condition of experimental animals
based on hematological parameters (haemoglobin, erytrocyt, and
leucocyt), random blood sugar, cholesterol, and uric acid. This
study was an experimental study using experimental animals
(rats) treated with ABM powders (three doses) and pure compounds
of 1,3-β-D-Glucan compared to the control group. Based on all
parameter studied, it can be concluded that ABM consumption of
7.2 mg is the most suitable one of dose to be recomended for
healthy condition.
