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
