About
Maitake mushrooms are known for their ability to support the immune system, helping your dog stay resilient and healthy. Maitake mushrooms contain polysaccharides, specifically beta-glucans, which have been studied for their immune-modulating effects. These compounds may help enhance the immune response in dogs, potentially aiding in fighting off infections and supporting overall immune health. Maitake mushrooms are also known for their immune-modulating properties that help the body’s defence against disease-causing pathogens.
Maitake mushrooms are rich in vitamins B and D and potassium, copper, and selenium. They are also rich in antioxidants which help combat oxidative stress in cells contributing to overall health and potential anti-aging benefits. Maitake mushrooms contain bioactive compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties which can be beneficial for dogs suffering from inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.
Some studies suggest that maitake mushrooms may have hypoglycaemic effects, helping to lower blood sugar levels. This potential benefit could be advantageous for dogs with diabetes or those at risk of developing insulin resistance.
The fibre content in Maitake mushrooms can support digestive health in dogs by promoting regular bowel movements and aiding in nutrient absorption. This may help alleviate digestive issues such as constipation or diarrhoea.
