Description
This supplement helps with: stress, anxiety, cognitive decline and decreased energy in dogs and cats. Four adaptogenic mushrooms for nervous system support, the only ones on the market in liposomal form.
How does Myco Adaptogen Complex work?
The four mushrooms in this complex have been selected for their effect on the nervous system, stress response and energy management. They work through different mechanisms than the immune mushrooms in Myco Immune Complex: not via beta-glucans but via terpenes, neuroactive molecules and energetic components.
Lion’s Mane is the only known nutrient that stimulates the production of NGF (Nerve Growth Factor), a growth chemical that nerve cells need to stay healthy and recover. Reishi modulates the HPA axis and histamine metabolism for calming and better sleep. Chaga has the highest antioxidant capacity of all medicinal mushrooms. Cordyceps supports energy production via ATP synthesis.
The liposomal formulation is the only one on the market for adaptogenic mushroom complexes and significantly increases the bioavailability of the fat-soluble active ingredients.
What does this supplement do?
- Helps with stress, anxiety and anxiety in dogs and cats
- Supports memory and cognitive function in older animals
- Lion’s Mane stimulates nerve cell growth substances (NGF)
- Reishi calms and helps with sleep problems and allergic overstimulation
- Only liposomal adaptogenic mushroom mix on the market
When do you see results?
The mushrooms in this complex work through two time scales. From a systems biology perspective, Reishi has a relatively rapid sedative effect via histamine inhibition and GABAergic pathways, while Lion’s Mane has a deeper but slower neurotrophic effect via NGF stimulation.
Reishi calms down via histamine inhibition. Cordyceps improves energy metabolism. First signs of calm and more energy.
Adaptogenic effect noticeable: calmer basic level, better energy balance. Less overstimulation with stress stimuli.
NGF build-up noticeable in cognitive alertness in senior animals. Better stress resistance. More balance in behavior.
Daily use maintains NGF levels and nerve cell health. In case of cognitive decline, a long-term supplement.

Comparison based on common adaptogenic mushroom supplements for dogs and cats on the Dutch market.
Part of a protocol
Myco Adaptogen Complex is a core component of the Behavioral Protocol and the Old Age Protocol. Combine with Myco Immune Complex for a complete set of eight medicinal mushrooms.
Works well with
Myco Adaptogen Complex modulates the nervous system and energy metabolism via terpenes. The supplements below reinforce this through additional routes.
Myco Adaptogen modulates the nervous system via terpenes. Myco Immune modulates the immune system via beta-glucans. Together the complete set of eight medicinal mushrooms for the widest possible support for dogs and cats.
Adaptogen Complex modulates the HPA axis via ashwagandha and rhodiola. Myco Adaptogen adds NGF stimulation and histamine inhibition. Together, the most extensive stress regulation available for chronic behavioral problems.
Lion’s Mane stimulates NGF for neurons. Ergothioneine in Longevity Support protects those neurons. Together, the strongest cognitive support for aging dogs and cats in the Old Age Protocol.
Reishi in Myco Adaptogen calms down via histamine and GABA. Relax Support provides serotonin and magnesium as additional neurotransmitter precursors. Together for the most complete rest support for chronically anxious animals.
