Health Benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms
Dr. Darria speaks with internist and Sharecare Advisory Board member, Dr. Robin Miller, about the health benefits of medicinal mushrooms.

Mushrooms have cell walls that are made up of a substance called chitin, which humans are unable to digest but are very good for health.

Medicinal mushrooms are put into capsule form, in order for us to be able to realize all of these benefits.
