Shiitake Mushroom Supreme
Planetary Herbals
Overview
The effectiveness of this product is difficult to fully assess due to the use of a 'Proprietary Blend', which prevents exact dosing of individual ingredients. While many ingredients, such as Shiitake, Reishi, Turmeric, and Silymarin, have research-backed benefits for immune and liver support, it's unclear if they are present in clinically effective amounts within the 1.25g blend. The comprehensive nature of the blend suggests a broad approach to health, but the lack of transparency in dosing limits the ability to confirm efficacy for specific conditions.
The Good
Features Shiitake and Reishi mushrooms, known for immune support and adaptogenic properties.
Includes traditional herbs like Turmeric and Silymarin/Milk Thistle, recognized for liver health benefits.
Contains Schisandra, an adaptogen supportive of stress response and overall vitality.
The Bad
Uses a 'Proprietary Blend', obscuring the exact dosages of individual, potentially beneficial, ingredients.
Total proprietary blend amount (1.25g per 2 tablets) suggests many ingredients may be underdosed for clinical efficacy.
Contains potential interactions with anticoagulant medications (Dong Quai, Chinese Salvia, Turmeric).
Is it for you?
