This mushroom has researchers excited ... in fact, there are several reasons to add Coriolus versicolor to your pet's daily diet.
Coriolus versicolor is a mushroom that grows on logs all around the world. There are over 200 species of Coriolus versicolor, but there is a particular strain that is of interest to scientists and herbalists. It has been used in Eastern holistic circles for centuries to clear dampness, increase energy, and support the immune system.
Today, researchers are interested in Coriolus versicolor's immune supporting benefits. Let's take a look below.
Coriolus versicolor mushrooms have two main components: Polysaccharide-K (PSK) and polysaccharide-P (PSP). They form part of the mushroom's cell wall and they give the cell its structure.
Both PSK and PSP are called beta-D-glucans. These beta-glucans can bind directly to receptors in immune cells ... and trigger immune support.
This is what makes Coriolus versicolor so powerful ... it can directly help to support the immune function in your pet.
Beta-D-glucans can bind to and activate macrophages, which are the immune response cells. Beta-glucans can also support other immune cells, including NK cells and T-leukocytes, which are an important part of the adaptive immune system.
Overall, beta-glucans have been shown to:
- Support immune cells
- Support antibody production
- Help to support the body's ability to reduce cytokines
- Help to support the body's own immune response to deal with even the most concerning issues
