MycoPro 5 is a blend of five powerful medicinal mushrooms – Chaga, Shiitake,
Maitake, Cordyceps and Lion’s Mane as well as the powerful anti-inflammatory
herbs, magnolia bark and ginger. Medicinal mushrooms have been utilized for
thousands of years for their vast healing properties, which include their ability to
augment the body’s immune system (support NK cells), support stress and fatigue,
aid in digestion and gut health and support the neurological system. Medicinal
mushrooms provide a unique array of nutrients that include amino acids, beta
glucans, triterpenoids and antioxidants, such as ergothioneine (ET) making this a
product that can be used everyday to support overall health or one that can be used
for target nutrition.
CHAGA
Chaga provides adaptive immune system support by activating B cells,
which secrete protective antibodies and by supporting macrophages, our
body’s antimicrobial warriors. Chaga have potent anti-oxidant properties
such as polysaccharides and triterpinoids that have been shown to protect
cells against oxidative stress. Chaga also uniquely helps with oxygen
utilization especially during exercise.
SHIITAKE
The use of shiitake dates back to at least 100 AD in China. In Traditional
Chinese Practice, shiitake was used to support a wide range of body
functions. In vitro and animal research show shitake to be useful for helping
to support the immune system, normal cellular growth and development,
liver function, optimal blood circulation and supporting oral health. It
promotes a normal response to stress as an “adaptogenic.”
MAITAKE
Maitake provides immune-supporting beta glucans (naturally occurring
polysaccharides), amino acids, proteins, enzymes and antioxidants that
contribute to its many suggested health-promoting benefits. Such benefits
include support for immune function, normal cellular development, healthy
glucose levels and appropriate insulin response. Maitake may also help
promote healthy blood pressure levels and weight management when
combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
GINGER
Ginger is a well studied herb, known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and
antioxidant effects. Gingerol is the main bioactive compound in ginger,
which is responsible for much of its medicinal properties such as aiding in
nausea, pain and digestion.
CORDYCEPS
Cordyceps have been found to be supportive in sexual function, kidney,
lung and respiratory health. This mushroom contains a powerful
compound called CDP, which is involved in the proper oxygenation of
cells, making it an adjunct for athletic performance. It has also been
shown to have the ability to disrupt the DNA and RNA synthesis of incom-
ing pathogens, bacteria and viral infections playing a powerful role in
immunity. This mushroom has also been found to be helpful with energy
and stamina, as well as having anti-Candida properties.
LION’S MANE
Lion’s Mane is a unique medicinal mushroom as it has been shown to
increase REM sleep and an important brain neuropeptide called Brain
Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF). BDNF improves the function of
neurons, encourages their growth, and strengthens and protects them
against premature cell death. Lion’s Mane also stimulates nerve growth
factor (NGF). NGF supports the protective covering surrounding our
neurons, the myelin sheath, thereby supporting cognitive function and
overall nervous system health.
MAGNOLIA BARK Magnolia bark is a powerful anti-inflammatory
herb known for its ability to reduce inflammation, as well as protect the
liver and mitochondria from oxidative damage. The honokiol present in
magnolia has also shown to be helpful with depressed mood and feelings
of anxiety. Research has also demonstrated its benefits in some forms of
cancer cells.
