Chanterelles contain polysaccharides: chitinmannose, ergosterol and trametonolic acid.
Chitinmannose is a substance with strong anthelmintic properties. The presence of chitinmannose in the composition of the fungus explains why chanterelles are never wormy. Chitinmannose penetrates through the shell of the helminth and causes blocking of its nerve receptors, contributes to the death of parasite eggs. This substance is non-toxic to humans and does not affect the liver.
Ergosterol is provitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), whose main function is to ensure the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from food in the small intestine. Vitamins of group D are an indispensable part of the human diet. Ergosterol acts on liver enzymes, normalizing its function.
Trametonolic acid - helps to cleanse and restore the liver, as well as weaken hepatitis viruses.
Chanterelles contain essential amino acids (phenylalanine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, threonine, methionine, valine, lysine, tryptophan); interchangeable amino acids (cystine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine, tyrosine, etc.); acetylene fatty acids; vitamins: ergocalciferol (D2), pyridoxine (B6), ascorbic acid (C), nicotinic acid (PP), folic acid (B9), pantothenic acid (B5), riboflavin (B2), beta-carotene (provitamin A); mineral elements: chromium, cobalt, copper, manganese, potassium, nickel, zirconium, vanadium; fiber; do not contain starch and sucrose.
