What is so special about the way your grown your mushrooms?
MycoPhyto® is the only product of its kind available. Each mushroom species is carefully cultivated under specific conditions on a proprietary blend of medicinal herbs.
As the mushroom mycelium (the vegetative portion of the organism) grows and develops, it breaks down, absorbs and incorporates medicinally active constituents of the herbs. This process “supercharges” the benefits of both the mushrooms and the herbs in synergistically. The herbal formula feeds the mushrooms with ingredients that will potentate the effect of the mushroom.
This proprietary formula includes botanicals, which were specifically selected to enhance the benefits of the mushrooms. The formula also imparts an adaptogenic effect that supports vitality, endurance and overall wellness especially during conventional treatments with harsh side effects.
Innovative Cultivation
It is well known that the growing conditions of herbs and mushrooms alter the properties of the plant/fungi.
With the intention of enhancing the benefits of the formula, the mushrooms in MycoCeutics® MycoPhyto® Complex are grown using a novel approach whereby the cultivation medium for MycoPhyto® is fortified with health supporting herbs and brewed herbal formulas.
Clinical observations suggest that when medicinal herbs are used as a food source for medicinal mushrooms it greatly increases their health benefits.*
How was MycoPhyto® Complex formulated?
MycoCeutics® MycoPhyto® Complex is designed in harmony with the principles of ancient Tibetan medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.
In accordance with these systems, each mushroom has a specific and intended role within the formula.
• Coriolus (turkey tails) holds a leader role and directs the immune modulating actions of the other mushrooms.
• Reishi (Ganoderma) and Cordyceps are prized oriental “power” mushrooms with adaptogenic properties and the ability to elevate vital energy (Chi/Qi). Both these mushrooms have the ability to affect the past as well as the future. They support healing of past “injuries” and protect against future insults. For this reason consider using MycoPhyto® in situations where essential, but toxic, treatments are being used.
• Polyporus is specific for pelvic stagnation and fosters the circulation of the immune support to this area of the body.
• Maitake as a digestive tonic, supports the absorption and digestion of the formula.*
