MICOCOMPLEX – BIO: certified organic mushrooms extracts

MICOCOMPLEX is composed of SHITAKE, MAITAKE, CORDYCEPS, REISHI and ABM.

The most well-known of these is REISHI (GANODERMA LUCIDUM), considered the King of mushrooms that exerts its main tropism on the central nervous system with cortisone-like action. It is an excellent remedy for allergic and inflammatory states and respiratory problems due to its very high content of germanium that increases mitochondrial respiration.

SHITAKE (LENTINULA EDODES), a mushroom widely used in traditional Japanese cuisine, has a particularly active tropism on the immune system. It stimulates the production of T helper lymphocytes, useful in attacks by viruses and bacteria. It has a strongly alkalizing action, thus reducing tissue acidosis, which is the cause of many pathologies, and is an excellent source of Vitamin D, therefore a preventive remedy for caries and periodontal disease.

ABM (AGARICUS BLAZEI MUELLER) is a mushroom native to Brazil, considered the most powerful shield among mushrooms against endogenous and exogenous toxins and the most powerful against cell degeneration due to its very high concentration of Beta-glucans. It is an excellent remedy for autoimmune disorders due to its ability to balance the function of the TH1 and TH2 systems. It is the only fungus with a specific tropism for the thyroid gland, regulating its functions in case of hypo or hyperactivity.

MAITAKE (GRIFOLA FRONDOSA), a mushroom native to Japan, is considered the heart-protective fungus due to its ability to reduce glucose and regulate insulin receptors. It has a vagotonic action with a reduction in nervous hunger. It helps reduce lipid accumulation in the liver and tissues and stimulates the body to use food intake by limiting its deposition as fats and improving thermogenesis, which is the mechanism by which the body burns calories. It also helps stabilize good cholesterol and  keep both bad cholesterol and blood sugar under control. In particular, by sensitizing insulin receptors, it activates glucose metabolism. Polysaccharides, which Maitake is made of, have a unique biochemical structure and are among the most powerful molecules currently known. They are highly bioavailable and have been extensively studied for their immunomodulatory activity – suitable for genes, antitumor and anti-HIV. The activity of Maitake and in particular of the D polysaccharide fraction is the subject of continuous research for its important inhibitory effect on tumor growth and for its powerful antimetastatic action.”¹

CORDYCEPS SINENSIS is a fungus native to the Tibetan mountains that develops specific strategies to optimize oxygen consumption and produce cellular energy: this is why it has such an important role in giving tone and energy. Cordyceps, considered a real restorative, actually increases ATP levels, which is the molecule that releases energy to cells, thus increasing the overall energy that can be used by the body and improving aerobic performance. It also increases DHEA production, the hormone of youth, and has a tonic effect on the genital system by increasing blood flow, improving erection in men and desire in women.²

MUSHROOMS? yes, but not only at lunch!

The Italian cuisine is rich in appetizing dishes based on mushrooms, despite this in all the West they often fear their possible toxicity. In fact, each mushroom has an intrinsic toxic potential and an extrinsic toxicity, the latter originated from the environment in which it is found and which provides contamination from: chemical principles, radioactive agents and heavy metals. Among the 140,000 existing species of mushrooms, very few are edible.

In the East, for centuries now, some mushrooms have been used daily in cooking and are even part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tibetan and Japanese Medicine. But what are these mushrooms that are considered real medicinal remedies and elixirs of long life and above all, what do they contain?

Shiitake, Maitake, Cordyceps, Reishi and Agaricus blazei

are among the best-known mushrooms with scientifically proven therapeutic properties. Although each of them has its own characteristics, they all share the same functional substances called Beta-glucans. Several recent scientific studies have highlighted how these polysaccharides are useful for the health of the body, acting favorably on the intestinal microbiota and on the immune system, modulating it and making it more reactive based on the response against attacks from external viruses and bacteria.

But what are beta-glucans?

They are complex sugars (polysaccharides) located in the cell walls of mushrooms. They are also commonly found in algae, whole grains especially oats and barley. However, beta-glucans present in mushrooms have a particular structure that makes them unique and much more powerful for immune defenses than those present in barley and oats. Think that the action of a few grams of beta-glucans contained in medicinal mushrooms is equivalent to an abundant plate of barley and oats.
Certainly! Here’s a technical translation of your article:

The peculiarity lies in the fact that they are able to activate the immune system in a gentle and balanced way, stimulating the production of T lymphocytes and NK cells (natural killer) and promoting apoptosis, i.e. the death, of tumor cells. For this reason, mushrooms can be defined as immunomodulatory and antioxidant remedies with antitumor action. However, we have said that beta-glucans are beneficial for the intestinal microbiota and this is true in the sense that they also have a “prebiotic” effect, i.e. they are nourishment for our intestinal bacteria, whose balance is fundamental for the entire homeostasis or for the balance of our body. There is another important characteristic of mushrooms that we have not yet mentioned, which is their content of micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals and trace elements that make them an excellent support for integrating nutritional deficiencies that modern nutrition entails. We at Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio, referring to numerous studies over the last 30 years, have formulated MICOCOMPLEX – BIO a product based on 5 MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS: SHITAKE ,MAITAKE ,CORDYCEPS,REISHI and ABM (AGARICUS BLAZEI MULLER). The extracts of the mushrooms present in this supplement are  declared and standardized in beta-glucan content; they are also organic to avoid any risk of contamination from heavy metals. This risk actually exists in uncontrolled cultivations because mushrooms, as we said, are real soil sweepers.

Prevention is always better than cure!

We have heard it said so many times that finally now we are starting to really believe it.

And when it comes to our health, it is essential to be listened to by specialists, doctors, pharmacists, phytotherapists because no one knows our weaknesses better than us, those parts of our body or mind that suffer first when our body loses its power. its balance. This is the guiding principle of prevention.

We at Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio are a team of two pharmacists, a herbalist, a biologist and a phytherapy expert at your disposal to listen to you and provide you with all the information that you can then discuss with your doctor.

But what is Phytotherapy? I quote from www.mypersonaltrainer.com

“Phytotherapy is understood as the branch of pharmacotherapy that deals with preventing and treating various ailments and diseases through the use of medicinal plants and preparations obtained from them. The term derives from the Greek φυτον (plant) and θεραπευω (cure), therefore “cure with plants”.

We are therefore in an area that complements and supports traditional medical science, phytotherapy is not an alternative medicine.

Let’s take a practical example:

an area in which prevention is considered fundamental by medical science and which, for about ten years now, has seen the publication of numerous studies of GUT MICROBIOTA  WELLBEING

Our body, physiologically, under normal conditions, carries out a detoxification process that aims to eliminate toxins from the body itself; it is essential for maintaining good overall health. However, when toxins attack the body from the outside (exogenous) or from the inside (endogenous), the effects of toxicity or intestinal dysbiosis are encountered.

The symptoms that most commonly occur in case of intoxication are: Chronic inflammation, Infections, Feeling of general malaise and chronic fatigue, Allergies and intolerances, Recurrent headaches, Depression and anxiety, Dermatitis, Weight gain, Problems during sleep, Problems with sleep memory and concentration, food malabsorption; Meteorism; Colitis; Constipation; Diarrhea; Avitaminosis; Candidiasis

The intestine and bacterial flora are our barrier against toxins and the active ingredients of plants can help us prevent these imbalances. Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio has formulated 5 products that contain the active ingredients that prevent intestinal dysbiosis.

Call us or ask your doctor which combination of these active ingredients is best suited to your situation. Contact us on the live chat or call 0552396055 or write to info@spezieriepalazzovecchio.it
