I’ve been using mushroom powders to boost the immune systems of my hounds these past years and they have helped tremendously. Kidney disease not progressing, thyroid cancer reduced, immune mediated issues held back – all my hounds living longer, healthier lives. These are human products that I take too. By “medicinal” we mean those mushrooms that contain immuno-modulating beta glucans in the cell walls and have a history of use in Traditional East Asian Medicine. This research started in Japan but was soon picked up by researchers from China and Korea. All of this attention was probably due to the fact that Shiitake was so highly regarded as a healthy food.

In Japan and China Shiitake is considered to be the best of all plant foods. The following is quoted from a Chinese handbook for medical workers: “Considering the five inevitable (sic) nutrients – protein, lipid, carbohydrate, minerals and vitamins, no other plant food could replace Shiitake. Besides, Shiitake also has high contents of calcium, sodium, phosphorus, etc. minerals and vitamins B-1, B-2, B-12 and vitamin D precursor.” Shiitake mushrooms and extracts also contains amino acids, including some essential amino acids such as lysine, arginine, threonine, valine, leucine and phenylalanine. In addition to the research on immune support there has been a considerable amount of research conducted on how Shiitake enzymes affect cholesterol levels. CHAGA – While Supplies Last! Originally $49.95, Now only $14.95. 150 vegetarian capsules per bottle. 300 mgs per capsule. Expiration date is 10/21, which is why they are discounted. However, it does not affect the efficacy of the product.

My hounds and I both use this product. Chaga mushrooms grow in the forests of Siberia, Canada, Northern Japan and the Northeastern United States. Unique among medicinal mushrooms, Chaga contains the beta glucan rich polysaccharides that give medicinal mushroom extracts their potent immune supporting properties. However, Chaga also contains other active compounds, primarily betulinic acid and polyphenols, which can give Chaga extracts powerful anti-oxidant properties. The ORAC value of the MushroomScience Chaga extract was higher than green or black tea extracts and similar to that of blueberry extracts. Chaga is a mushroom that must be wild-crafted (picked in the wild and not cultivated.) Only those mushrooms harvested from living birch trees will contain all the active compounds Chaga is famous for. Mushroom Science gave Greyhound Gang their Shitake & Chaga at a very reduced rate because the expiration dates are 2021. Expiration dates are not really expiration dates, just something mandated by the government. For more information, read this from Harvard Medical School. This product’s efficacy is still excellent, and its immune supporting abilities are out of sight! As is this deal. You won’t get a chance to try this high quality of a product at this price anywhere else. While supplies last. Buy 5 and get one free. Dose: I give my dogs a minimum of 3 capsules daily. If I’m dealing with an acute condition I’ll double or triple that. I usually open capsules and put in food. I do the same in my smoothies.

Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, biochemist, author and mushroom expert Martin Powell discusses all things mushrooms, from how extracts are produced, to the secondary metabolites of various species, to how mushrooms produce vitamin D and why you should always cook your mushrooms. If you loved this post and you would such as to get even more info regarding web page kindly check out our page. Do different parts of the mushroom have different components? What secondary metabolites do we need to be interested in? Andrew: This is FX Medicine. I’m Andrew Whitfield-Cook. Joining us on the line today, all the way from the UK, is Martin Powell. He’s a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, a biochemist, and the author of Medicinal Mushrooms: The Essential Guide and Medicinal Mushrooms: A Clinical Guide. He was a lecturer at the University of Westminster for 13 years, during which time he helped set up the Master of Science programme in Chinese Herbal Medicine. And has also taught in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Today, as well as helping patients, writing, and lecturing, he works as a consultant to leading companies in the natural products industry, with growers and manufacturers, to improve the quality of raw materials in the supply chain, and with leading integrative health clinics on improved treatments for cancer and other chronic health conditions.

I warmly welcome you to FX Medicine. How are you, Martin? Martin: Hi there, Andrew. Yes, I’m good, thank you. Yeah, all well. A little bit cold over here, but we’re coping. Andrew: Yeah. Now, you’ve got a Bachelor of Science with honours in biochem. So it’s a bit of a jump from biochemistry to mycology. Tell us a little bit about your history, and what first got you interested in mycology and medicinal mushrooms? Martin: Well, mushrooms have been something which has really sought me out, if you like, in my life. I suddenly wake up one morning and decided that this is what I wanted to specialise in or focus in. Almost quite the opposite, but like a lot of people growing up in the UK and in other English-speaking countries, we tend to have an innate mycophobia. We have an innate wariness of mushrooms. Martin: Yeah. Because we didn’t nearly think about them as something which could be beneficial.
