Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators propose to determine the effect of consuming 0, 1 or 2 servings of white button (Agaricus bisporus; most popular, lower ergothioneine) or yellow oyster (Pleurotus citrinopileatus; higher ergothioneine) mushrooms on postprandial changes in plasma levels and urinary excretions of mushroom-specific compounds.

Description:

The investigators hypothesize that consuming different mushroom varieties will elicit distinct postprandial nutrimetabolomic profiles in the plasma and urine and that the amount of metabolites present will increase with the servings of mushrooms. Measuring ergothioneine in the plasma will provide a quantitative outcome to document the postprandial responses to consuming the test meals. The nutrimetabolomic related outcomes are exploratory and have not been documented in human research.
