Description
QUICK SUMMARY
Myco Immune Complex is a complementary feed for dogs and cats with agaricus, maitake, shiitake, and coriolus. This complex is formulated for the natural immune system.
What’s in this supplement?
Each 400 mg capsule contains 75 mg each of Agaricus blazei Murill, Grifola frondosa (maitake), Lentinula edodes (shiitake), and Coriolus versicolor. The excipient is sunflower lecithin. The capsule shell is made of HPMC and is therefore plant-based.
What does Myco Immune Complex do?
Myco Immune Complex is formulated for the natural immune system. The four mushrooms contain beta-glucans, sugar chains that immune cells recognize.
The biochemistry per ingredient
Beta-glucans
Beta-glucans are long sugar chains from the cell walls of mushrooms and yeasts. They are hardly digested and come into contact with immune cells and gut bacteria in the intestinal wall.
Recognition by immune cells
Immune cells have their own receptors for beta-glucans, such as Dectin-1. This is how the innate immune system recognizes the cell walls of fungi. Research via nutrition has mainly been conducted in laboratory animals and humans.
Agaricus, maitake, and shiitake
Agaricus blazei, Grifola frondosa, and Lentinula edodes each contain their own mixture of sugar chains and other substances. That is why multiple mushrooms are included in one capsule.
Coriolus
Coriolus versicolor contains polysaccharopeptides. These are long sugar chains attached to proteins.
How strong is this evidence? The recognition of beta-glucans by immune cells is well-documented. Research into the effects via nutrition has mainly been conducted in laboratory animals and humans. There is little data available for dogs and cats.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference with Myco Adaptogen Complex?
Myco Immune Complex contains agaricus, maitake, shiitake, and coriolus. Myco Adaptogen Complex contains lion’s mane, reishi, chaga, and cordyceps.
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?
