Description
QUICK SUMMARY
Myco Adaptogen Complex is a complementary feed for dogs and cats with lion’s mane, reishi, chaga, and cordyceps. This complex is formulated to maintain balance in stressful situations.
What’s in this supplement?
Each 375 mg capsule contains 75 mg each of Hericium erinaceus (lion’s mane), Ganoderma lucidum (reishi), Inonotus obliquus (chaga), and Cordyceps sinensis. The excipient is sunflower lecithin. The capsule shell is made of HPMC and is therefore plant-based.
What does Myco Adaptogen Complex do?
Myco Adaptogen Complex is formulated to maintain balance in stressful situations. It contains four mushrooms, each with its own unique composition.
The biochemistry per ingredient
Lion’s mane
Hericium erinaceus contains hericenones and erinacines. These substances are being studied in cells and laboratory animals in relation to nerve growth factor, a protein that nerve cells need.
Reishi
Ganoderma lucidum contains triterpenes, such as ganoderic acids, and long sugar chains. The triterpenes give the mushroom its bitter taste.
Chaga
Inonotus obliquus grows on birch trees and contains melanin pigments, betulin, and sugar chains. The dark color comes from these pigments.
Cordyceps
Cordyceps is a fungus containing cordycepin and sugar chains, among other things. Cordycepin is similar in structure to adenosine, a substance the body also uses itself.
How strong is this evidence? The chemistry of these mushrooms is fairly well described. Data on their effects come mainly from cell and animal trials and limited human studies. There is little data available for dogs and cats.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference with Myco Immune Complex?
Myco Adaptogen Complex contains lion’s mane, reishi, chaga, and cordyceps. Myco Immune Complex contains agaricus, maitake, shiitake, and coriolus.
What does adaptogenic mean?
This term is used for plants and mushrooms being researched in relation to the stress response.
Is this suitable for a mushroom allergy?
No. Do not give this to animals with a known allergy to mushrooms.
My pet is on medication. Can I still use this?
Consult your vet first, especially if using blood thinners, immunosuppressants, blood sugar medication, or cancer treatment.
