Mycotherapy is the use of the healing properties of mushrooms. The very name of the supplement from Zahler displays its composition. Myco5 is a complex of five types of medicinal mushrooms - reishi, shiitake, maitake, cordyceps, chaga. Medicinal mushrooms produce compounds that can be used for therapeutic health purposes. The most useful compounds are: beta-glucans, which have an immunomodulatory effect. Reishi is called the "mushroom of eternal youth" and longevity. Its important medicinal compounds include beta-glucans. Triterpenes also have a sedative effect on the nervous system, promoting sleep and relaxation. Shiitake - grows on chestnut wood. Its important constituents include the lentinan compound. Maitake grows mainly in Japan. The Japanese appreciate it for its adaptogenic effect and ability to raise energy levels. Chaga is a mushroom that is more understandable to us. Grows on birches. Traditionally used to increase stamina, as a superfood. Chaga mushroom is rich in antioxidant compounds and acts as an immunomodulator. Cordyceps is a fantastic type of fungus that parasitizes insects. It infects an insect with spores, kills and mummifies it, and then grows out of the insect's body! The birthplace of cordyceps is Tibet, where it grows at an altitude of more than 3500 meters. Cordycepic acid is one of the important medicinal compounds in cordyceps. Cordyceps, thanks to the content of such a compound as adenosine, provides additional energy, reducing fatigue. Improves memory and learning ability. This complex of 5 medicinal mushrooms was ordered in the spring, for the period of beriberi, fatigue after winter. The goal was to support immunity, replenish energy levels with a limited diet for the period of Lent and generally support the body. Pack of 60 capsules. The recommended daily dosage is 2 capsules for an adult. It takes a month. But in our case, two adults took a capsule a day, so that both were enough for 30 days of taking. I can say that in general a very positive experience from taking this complex.
