Hello Everyone, 
As we head into the autumn season and children are back in school, my thoughts always turn to immune support.  How can I best keep myself and my patients healthy during this time when viruses are circulating?  
I have been taking a formula containing Maitake, Reishi and Shitake for over a year now and have also been prescribing it to my patients. The results have been very impressive!  Those of us who are taking it consistently have stayed healthy.  The reason for these results is likely the alpha and beta glucan content of the mushrooms.  Glucans are polysaccharides (a type of carbohydrate) that significantly stimulate defense reactions against infections and cancer.  These mushrooms can also lower cholesterol and blood pressure and protect cells from being damaged with their antioxidant compounds, among other benefits. 
Maitake and Shitake mushrooms are delicious culinary mushrooms which can be safely consumed as food when cooked.  As dietary supplements, the three mushrooms are safe for many people but may interact with certain medications so please check with me or your medical provider before taking them. 

Let us know if you would like more information or would like to try the mushroom formula for yourself.  We keep it on hand in the office and can also send you a link to it from my online store.

I look forward to seeing you soon,

Abigail
