Champex® Supplement to Help Support Breath and Body Odor Freshness *

Champex® is a proprietary extract of Agaricus bisporus mushrooms, formulated to help reduce compounds generated during digestion that may contribute to occasional bad breath and body odor.*

Developed in Japan, Champex® is formulated to help reduce the presence of odor-producing compounds—such as methane, trimethylamine, indole, and skatole—within the digestive tract.* It may also help support a healthy balance of ammonia levels in the body.* The potential benefits of Champex® have been explored in several scientific studies.*

What is Halitosis?

Halitosis is the scientific term for bad breath. It is a common concern that most people experience from time to time.*

There are a number of potential contributors to occasional bad breath, but it is often associated with natural breakdown processes in the body.* Under certain physiological conditions, oral and gut bacteria may convert specific nutrients—such as peptides and amino acids like cysteine, methionine, and tryptophan—into odorous substances known as volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs).*

Some types of microorganisms, including certain Gram-negative strains, may contribute to occasional bad breath by producing volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs).* These naturally occurring compounds can include hydrogen sulfide (often linked with a sulfur-like odor), methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide—all of which are associated with distinctive, sometimes unpleasant smells.*

There are a several other different types of occasional bad breaths:*

• Breath odors that may originate from the upper airways or sinuses.*
• Factors related to respiratory wellness, which may influence how breath is perceived.*
• A heightened sense of smell (hyperosmia), which can increase sensitivity to normal body odors.*
• Systemic factors—such as digestive or metabolic imbalances—that may affect how certain compounds are processed and exhaled.*
• Low intake of specific nutrients (such as vitamin A, B12, K, iron, or zinc) may be one of several contributing factors to occasional breath changes.*
• Temporary effects from certain foods or beverages, particularly those high in sulfur (like garlic or cabbage), or those that may lead to dry mouth (such as coffee or alcohol).*

Potential Champex® Mushroom Capsules Benefits*

What is Champex®?

The Agaricus bisporus mushroom extract in Champex® has been studied for its potential to support internal freshness.* Research suggests it may be more effective than parsley seed extract in addressing occasional breath and body odor related to foods such as garlic, onions, fish, and alcohol, as well as tobacco use.*

In Japan, a study involving individuals who took Agaricus bisporus capsules for 30 days observed a noticeable improvement in breath, body, and elimination-related odors.*

Champex® supplementation may offer benefits beyond internal freshness, as it has been studied for its potential to help reduce certain odor-producing compounds in the digestive tract.* These compounds, if not properly metabolized, may contribute to occasional discomfort such as nausea or digestive upset.* Early research has also explored the relationship between these substances and long-term wellness, highlighting the importance of digestive balance and toxin management.*

Studies suggest that Champex® mushroom extract may support digestive wellness and overall internal balance:*

• May help promote digestive comfort and regularity.*
• Some subjects in research settings reported improved intestinal comfort within 30 days.*
• May support a healthy gut microbiota; research indicates it may help promote beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and support a balanced microbial environment.*
• May contribute to maintaining healthy levels of ammonia in the body, supporting natural detox pathways.*
• Early studies suggest it may play a role in supporting immune system activity and overall intestinal health.*
• May help promote a balanced environment in the stomach.*
• Preliminary findings suggest a potential role in supporting kidney health and healthy creatinine levels already within the normal range.*
• May assist in maintaining balanced uric acid levels as part of a wellness routine.*
• May act as an antioxidant, helping to support cellular protection against oxidative stress.*

Potential Considerations of Agaricus Bisporus Supplementation*

Before adding a Champex® mushroom supplement to your routine, it’s a good idea to review available information and consult a healthcare professional. While Champex® is generally well tolerated, individual responses may vary, and it may not be suitable for everyone.*

There is limited research on the use of Champex® mushroom extract during pregnancy or while nursing. As a precaution, individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding may wish to consult a qualified healthcare professional before using this supplement.*

If you plan to take Champex® alongside other supplements, it’s a good idea to speak with a healthcare professional. They can help ensure the combination aligns with your wellness goals and provide guidance on any potential interactions or sensitivities.*
