Dogs Are Worth Protecting.

Wellness Through Mushrooms

Boost your dog’s health with mushroom powder food toppers. It’s simple, clean, and exactly what your dog deserves. Oh, and they’re non-psychedelic (just because you were probably wondering). Just healthy, functional, premium human-grade mushroom powders.

Mushrooms have been celebrated for centuries for their immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and adaptogenic properties, and now your best friend gets to experience these benefits too. Unlike the artificial, additive-filled toxic crap pushed by the big commercial industry—products loaded with synthetic ingredients, fillers, and questionable “science”—our powders are 100% pure and organic, with no hidden agenda. They deliver real, effective nutrition that supports your dog’s immune system, brain health, and overall health, without compromising their wellness for profit-driven shortcuts. Choosing natural holistic wellness means giving your dog a better way to thrive, free from the unnecessary risks and side effects of processed solutions.

“When it comes to natural healing for your dog, you can’t go wrong with medicinal mushrooms for dogs. I use mushrooms for dogs in my practice all the time. I’ve seen some amazing results using mushrooms as a natural remedy for many different health issues. I mean everything from regulating blood pressure to treating cancer. There’s not any one plant that can do as much as a mushroom can.  In short, they’re miracle plants.” - Ihor Basko DVM

Why Mushroom Powder?

  • Dogs are more likely to consume mushroom powder mixed into their food or sprinkled overtop, than swallowing capsules.

  • Mushroom tea, easily made by mixing powdered mushrooms with water, and then poured over their food, allows for excellent absorption of nutrients, enhanced digestibility, and improved palatability, making it an effective and tasty way to deliver the health benefits of mushrooms.

  • The powder being finely ground makes it easier for dogs to break down and absorb the nutrients, especially for those with sensitive stomachs or digestive issues.

  • Mushroom powders have a much longer shelf life than whole mushrooms, especially when stored properly in a cool, dry place. This means you can keep a supply of mushroom powder on hand without worrying about spoilage or deterioration.

Four Major Healing Functions of Mushrooms

1. Prevention (disease):

Mushrooms are rich in antioxidants, such as ergothioneine and selenium, which help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. By reducing oxidative stress, mushrooms support overall health and may help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.

2. Regeneration (cells):

Certain mushrooms like Lion's Mane contain compounds that stimulate the production of nerve growth factors (NGF) and promote neurogenesis, the process of forming new nerve cells. This regenerative ability can be beneficial for maintaining cognitive function, improving memory, and potentially aiding in the recovery from neurological conditions.

3. Protection (cancer, radiation):

Mushrooms possess bioactive compounds such as beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and triterpenes that exhibit anti-cancer properties. These compounds can inhibit tumor growth, enhance immune response against cancer cells, and protect cells from DNA damage caused by radiation exposure.

4. Intervention (treatment):

Researchers are exploring mushrooms as potential treatments for various health conditions. Compounds like polysaccharides, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds found in mushrooms have demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiviral effects. They may be used in therapeutic interventions to manage conditions like inflammation, infections, and viral illnesses.

Nutrition in Mushrooms

Here's a breakdown of the nutritional components found in mushrooms and how they benefit your dog's health:

1. Minerals: Mushrooms are rich in essential minerals like potassium, selenium, sulfur, sodium, geranium, zinc, and phosphorus, which support various bodily functions including electrolyte balance, immune function, and bone health.

2. Sugars: Mushrooms contain sugars such as mannitol, xylose, glucose, galactose, and mannose, providing energy and contributing to metabolic processes.

3. Vitamins: They are a good source of B complex vitamins, folic acid, and pro-vitamin D, which play key roles in energy metabolism, cell growth, and immune function.

4. Protein: Mushrooms provide essential amino acids necessary for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle function, and maintaining overall health.

5. Enzymes: Their antibacterial and proteolytic enzymes help promote digestion, support gut health, and combat harmful bacteria.

6. Lipids: Mushrooms contain beneficial lipids like phospholipids, sterols, sterol esters, free fatty acids, and mono-, di-, and triglycerides, which are important for cell membrane structure, hormone production, and energy storage.

7. Polysaccharides: They contain polysaccharides such as glycogen, beta-D-glucans, and chitin, which have immune-modulating properties and support overall immune function.

8. Triterpenes: These compounds found in mushrooms have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, contributing to overall wellness.
