Vitamin D Enriched Mushrooms:

• Walsh Mushrooms working in conjunction with Campden BRI and Professor Robert Beelman, have developed a system to enrich normal mushrooms but using a specially designed system.

• Research has linked vitamin D to a rapidly increasing number of benefits beyond healthy bones and the prevention of rickets and osteoporosis.  The benefits of normal vitamin D levels include a decreased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and colorectal cancer.

• Mushrooms exposed to sunlight or UV light naturally generate vitamin D, which enhances calcium absorption and bone strength.

• Vitamin D deficiency is common especially during winter.
