Information
Mushrooms have been in use by humans for millenia for their nutritional, medicinal and spiritual benefits. Their use in our veterinary species is a novel and effective emerging therapeutic that can augment existing clinical protocols. These highly evolved members of the Fungi Kingdom, contain multiple bioactive ingredients that can improve immunefunction, benefit cancer patients, stabilize mast cell membranes to reduce degranulation, improve cognitive function, especially in our older patients, provide robust support for the microbiome, protect the kidneys and liver from toxicity, provide hydration support for the skin and kidneys, provide adaptogenic support for the HPA axis, as well as to better manage stress.
