Reishi Mushroom, Benefits For Dogs

Known as the "mushroom of immortality," Reishi mushrooms have been used for centuries in Asia to help fight infections and cancers when used along with medical therapies.  They are deeply hydrating, antioxidant-rich adaptogens (substances that help the body to adapt to stress and fatigue), and contain immune-boosting properties that pose both internal and external benefits including but not limited to:

    • Restores moisture loss in dogs' skin
    • Fights free radicals to help prevent sun damage to dogs' skin
    • Alleviates redness and irritation of the skin for dogs
    • Balances histamine levels and helps alleviate seasonal allergies for dogs

 

Tremella Mushroom Benefits for Dogs

The Tremella species belong to the family known as jelly mushrooms, due to the formation of gelatinous fruit bodies.

From a dietary perspective, Tremella fuciformis is nutritiously rich in polysaccharides, proteins, and fiber; in addition to various vitamins and minerals. The Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (TPS) have proven to have positive biological effects, including but not limited to:

  • Anti-tumorigenic
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Memory reparation
  • Cancer-therapy side-effect modulation
  • Anti-aging
  • Anti-oxidant protection

Tremella fuciformis is able to suppress damage caused to human skin fibroblasts. Pre-treatment with Tremella fuciformis led to a decrease in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell death demonstrating the potential for Tremella fuciformis therapy against oxidative-stress-induced skin disease and aging.
