Mushroom Extract Powder - Powerful 10 Blend, Organic Lions Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, Shiitake, Turkey Tail Mushrooms Nootropic Brain Supplement for Energy, Calm, Focus & Immune System Booster

------------------------------------------------------ UPDATE: 12/02/18 ---------------------------------------------------------Her latest lab work showed all liver enzymes levels back to normal!! *happy dance!!!* In fact ALL her labs were normal, including kidney labs. She goes back for lab re-check in 3 months. I am lowering her CoQ10 to 30mg twice a day from 200mg. I added the CoQ10 about 3 months ago when I read an NIH study on rats that CoQ10 lowered liver enzymes. I am lowering the mushroom powder to 1/4 teaspoon twice a day and will continue the lecithin which I added 3 months ago when I read that lecithin increases milk thistle's ability to lower liver enzyme levels. I will continue the sam-e and milk thistle but only once a day.The vet did say that her thyroid levels were slightly off, though still in the normal range, indicating possible hyperthyroidism. I did some sleuthing to see if any of the supplements I was giving her had any affect on the thyroid. I discovered that reshi (one of the ingredients in the mushroom powder) had a slight stimulating affect on the thyroid. She was on a pretty heavy dose for such a little cat. Which is another reason for cutting back the dose.--------------------------------------------------------- Original Post ---------------------------------------------------------------My thirteen year old cat is dealing with elevated liver enzymes. The cause is unknown as of yet. She is starting to feel better after a week of syringe feeding rx canned food from the vet along with milk thistle, sam-e, anti nausea meds, pain meds and 2 kinds of antibiotics along with some prednisolone. She started eating some food on her own by Saturday. I still supplement with syringe feedings to get in the required calories along with her meds and supplements.I started her on medicinal mushrooms 6 days ago and just received my package of the 10 mushroom blend powder from Jetsu last night. Today was the first day I tried the 10 mushroom blend. According to Dr. Ihor Basko's article "Understanding the Power of Medicinal Mushrooms in Your Practice" on the IVC Journal website, I should be giving her around 50mg per pound of weight in medicinal mushrooms for liver diseases. She weighs around 9lbs so that would be 450mg, or around 2 scoops/teaspoons. So I put that amount in a small jar, added a bit of water to thin it enough to pull into a dosing syringe. I was expecting a lot of growling, and complaining since she did that with the sam-e, milk thistle and the mushroom capsules I was mixing with water to dose her. But she very quietly and complacently accepted the liquid that I squirted in her mouth. Keeping her on the mushrooms will be easier than I thought.EDIT; I just read that over doing Chaga can affect the kidneys by overburdening them with the excretion of too much potassium and magnesium leading to oxalate nephropathy caused by kidney stones. So I'm gonna have to start her on a preventive dose of Chanca Piedra which is known to dissolve stones. I'll be using Herb Pharma's Stone Breaker as a tincture will be easier to deal with.

For many years I've been buying nootropics, medicinal herbs, mushrooms, energy supplements, powders and liquids to help increase my daily energy levels, and overall perceived sense of well-being.I notice slight differences when i would change an ingredient or take it out of the routine. Of all the products over all of the years I've been searching for my perfect energy/health mix, THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN CHASING THE ENTIRE TIME.I cannot believe how much money and how much time I spent looking for products that, when combined, give me the effects that this product does all by itself. I'm talking I've spent THOUSANDS of dollars trying to create a high quality mix of plants/edibles/chemicals. This product is super impressive. I feel like I could go on talking for a while about it, but if you are looking for a quality energy and health enhancing product, I'd say give your $21 a chance here. I take it twice a day in coffee, the cordyceps in it overtakes much of the flavor so it is a lot like chocolate, and a handful of people at my work are now buying it. I've only had it a few weeks but it works every time, so I will be buying more very soon. A+!Update: On my 4th bag at this moment and STILL loving it. It works every-single-time and has improved my functionality at work!UPDATE 2: it is now nearing the end of 2021 and I am still extremely impressed with this product. It is a standard staple in my diet now, and I've introduced this product to dozens of people over the years. I am beyond satisfied and impressed with this product (WHICH IS NOW ONLY SOLD AS ORGANIC!) and have never gone back to other supplements. After 3+ years of taking it nearly daily, his stuff STILL works for me every single time. I couldn't ask for a better product.

I was told by my gastroenterologist do you start taking a mushroom extract. I did some research, and found this company over a year ago. Every morning, I make a cup of tea, and I will put a scoop of the mushroom powder into the bottom of my tea cup, once my tea is done, I will pour just a little bit of hot tea into the bottom of my tea cup. Then, I use a handheld milk frother on the highest speed, and I will incorporate the mushroom powder, into the tea. Once I do that, I then will add the rest of the tea, and my almond creamer. It took me several months of ingesting this powder on a daily basis to see consistent results. Because there are 10 different mushrooms, I not only saw improvement with my digestion, I also saw improvement with my brain fog. As someone who lives with a chronic illness, a decrease in my brain fog has been a wonderful!My only complaint has been the increase in price for the same amount of product over the last year, and that this particular product is no longer on subscribe and save. When it has been out of stock, I have tried over six different other brands, and I keep coming back to this particular brand.

I started using this product about a year ago (sporadically) and the package last year said the suggested use was 1/2 tsp (2g). Since the package contains 8oz (227g) and contains 112 servings, then 2g (1/2 tsp) would be correct. The new package I recently received says the dosage is 2g or "1/4 tsp" and still showing 112 servings in the package. When you google a grams-to-teaspoon converter and use cocoa powder as a similar ingredient, 2 grams is .6 tsp - so it's definitely at least 1/2 tsp. I emailed the company about a month ago about this discrepancy but received no response.This is the best deal for a 10 mushroom blend. I don't feel a difference in my energy level but I feel that taking this is good insurance to boost my immune system (I take it about every other day now.) I'm sticking with the 1/2 tsp dose as originally recommended on the old packaging!
