Amino acids are not manufactured by human body, but they are particularly important in human nutrition, so they are called “essential amino acids”. In addition, it was determined that Morchella contains at least eight kinds of vitamins: vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, pyridabenol, biotin, folic acid and so on. The nutritional components of Morchella esculenta can be comparable to milk, meat and fish meal. Therefore, it is often called one of the “healthy foods” in the world. Morchella contains polysaccharides, antimicrobial and antiviral active ingredients, which can enhance immunity, anti-fatigue, anti-virus and inhibit tumors. Japanese scientists have found that the extract of Morchella contains tyrosinase inhibitors, which can effectively inhibit the formation of lipofuscin.

Morchella is rich in selenium, which is a component of human erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase. It can transport a large number of oxygen molecules to inhibit malignant tumors and inactivate cancer cells. On the other hand, it can enhance the antioxidant effect of vitamin E. The antioxidant effect of selenium can change the direction of carcinogens and detoxify them by binding, thus reducing or eliminating the risk of carcinogenesis.
