Shiitake Mushroom Supreme
Planetary Herbals
Overview
The effectiveness of this product is difficult to ascertain due to the presence of a proprietary blend, which obscures the individual dosages of its numerous ingredients. While many ingredients like Shiitake, Reishi, Schisandra, Turmeric, and Silymarin have evidence for immune or liver support at clinically effective doses, it's impossible to verify if those doses are met in this formulation. The inclusion of trace calcium provides minimal nutritional benefit.
The Good
Diverse blend of traditional medicinal herbs and mushrooms traditionally used for immune support and liver health.
Shiitake and Reishi mushrooms have evidence for immune-modulating benefits.
Contains well-researched adaptogens (Schisandra) and liver support herbs (Turmeric, Silymarin).
The Bad
Proprietary blend completely obscures individual ingredient dosages, making efficacy and safety assessment difficult for many components.
High number of ingredients (at least 13) within a 1.25g proprietary blend strongly suggests many ingredients are significantly underdosed.
Many ingredients have potential for drug interactions (e.g., Dong Quai and anticoagulants, Reishi with immunosuppressants).
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking immune support, general wellness, those interested in mushroom supplements
