Exploring the Health Benefits of Trehalose, a Natural Sugar.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Verywell Health
Trehalose, a naturally occurring sugar found in some mushrooms, seaweed, honey, and yeast, is gaining attention among scientists for its potential use as a food stabilizer and therapeutic. Some research suggests trehalose has potential to be used to manage some metabolic diseases and may support the gut microbiome as a prebiotic. Trehalose can also be used as an effective food preservative. However, more studies are needed to confirm these observations. Trehalose is considered safe for most people to consume, and for now, there isn't enough evidence to say that it offers significant health benefits.
