AgariGold with H1X1 is a revolutionary, health-enhancing "superfood" produced and launched by Waiora in the USA in March 2008.

This natural supplement features a patented blend of the Brazilian Agaricus mushroom with another powerful Agaricus strain, resulting in a hybrid that is more potent than the original Brazilian Agaricus alone. This unique hybrid has been combined with Sasa Bamboo, one of the world's most efficacious antioxidants.

In addition to the eight amino acids essential to our health, AgariGold with H1X1 also contains more than a hundred other essential nutrients for health including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes and essential fatty acids.*

AgariGold with H1X1 is the first supplement of its kind to harness the power of an ancient healing herb, the Agaricus Blazei mushroom – contained in AgariGold in a newly hybridized form that has greatly enhanced its potency – and also combined with Sasa Bamboo, a Japanese bamboo species that has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes. As described below, this combination has particular efficacy in enhancing natural killer (NK) cell functions, as well as providing the numerous individual benefits of the two ingredients in tandem.

H1X1 is a proprietary hybrid of Agaricus Blazei. Its story begins with the discovery by a Japanese botanist of a strain of this mushroom growing in the Piedade region of Brazil, where the indigenous people were using it and traditionally ascribed its effects as being crucial for a long and healthy life. The Japanese scientist took this special strain back to Japan, and after more research its far-ranging health-supporting properties were identified, and it has since been put to effective use in medical circles for treatments of a wide range of conditions for over 10 years.

More recently, after extensive research, scientists discovered that by hybridizing the Agaricus Blazei from Brazil with a strain of Agaricus Blazei from California, an even more potent mushroom could be created. Named H1X1, this new mushroom hybrid has much higher levels of beta glucans and other life-enhancing nutrients than its original parent strains. What seems to help make this strain so potent is the combination of particular types of cultivation, replication, extraction and protection.

H1X1 is cultivated by a patented, organic growing process that replicates the growing conditions of the Piedade region of Brazil, where the original strain was discovered. This ensures a consistent environment with each yield. The growing environment is a proprietary blend of the most natural soil-nourishing ingredients, is free of toxins, herbicides and pesticides, and is closely monitored to ensure no fluctuation in the soil content, air temperature, humidity and/or water profile.

The other ingredient of AgariGold is Sasa Bamboo, which contains a remarkable variety of nutrients that have been used for centuries in Japan for medicinal purposes. Its preservation properties are well-known and so potent that the Japanese have traditionally used Sasa to preserve fresh sushi for days - without refrigeration.

Its nutrient components include amino acids, sugars and minerals that help maintain moisture levels in skin, comfort the body and mind, and remove toxins from the body. Sasa leaf extracts also protect the skin against bacteria and fungus, help stimulate metabolism, and most importantly, have a powerful antioxidant effect. In fact, Sasa Bamboo leaf extracts contain some of the world's most powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants are capable of safely diffusing free radicals (which are widely believed to play a role in causing many of today’s debilitating health conditions).

While researching Sasa Bamboo, the scientists not only discovered the secret behind its healing properties, arabinoxylan, which is well known to support immune function, but also discovered that when combined with the Agaricus Blazei mushroom, natural killer (NK) cell functions are increased.*

The combination of the two ingredients not only activates NK, but it also stimulates T and B cells, the white blood cells that also destroy harmful cells. The resulting combination of Agaricus Mushroom and the Sasa Bamboo extract thus gives unprecedented support for the immune system.*

Waiora’s extraction and manufacturing process is also crucial. Unlike most products that undergo a conventional 3-step process for manufacturing, Waiora's AgariGold with H1X1 undergoes a patented 10-step process to ensure the purity, potency, stability and effectiveness of the product. These steps include three pressurized extraction procedures to extract nutrients from the cell membrane, as well as filtration procedures to ensure that only the purest, most concentrated and efficacious nutrients remain. AgariGold uses a patented, multi-stage pressure and hot water extraction process to ensure that every last nutrient is available in the liquid formula.

This makes it possible to capture over 100 very valuable nutrients from the H1X1 Agaricus Mushroom and the Sasa Bamboo extract. The result is a revolutionary health-enhancing “superfood” that contains amino acids (including the essential eight that our bodies can't manufacture), vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes and essential fatty acids. These combined ingredients deliver an incredible boost to the immune system and overall well being.*
