Medicinal Mushrooms and side effects: let's clarify

Do Medicinal Mushrooms have side effects? No

I Medicinal Mushrooms have no side effects because they act by respecting the physiology of the body and not by forcing it. That's why thousands of people take them serenely and safely. As a matter of fact, Medicinal Mushrooms do not act like medicines but in a gentle way and also for this reason they do not cause strange symptoms. Rarely, some people attribute vague ailments such as headache, intestinal pain, tiredness or agitation to Medicinal Mushrooms.  These alleged side effects can instead be related to stress, sometimes due to fears or an unconscious resistance that manifest themselves with some discomfort. Or they can be linked to an inappropriate diet.

Are Medicinal Mushrooms difficult to digest? No

I Medicinal Mushrooms have no side effects on the stomach or on the intestine. Unlike some edible mushrooms, Medicinal Mushrooms are easily digestible and are also taken in very small quantities (2 gr per day for each Medicinal Mushroom).

Medicinal Mushrooms improve the digestive system (stomach, intestines and liver). One tip is to take them on a full stomach for the first few days.

Are Medicinal Mushrooms bad for the liver? No,

exactly the opposite is true! Medicinal Mushrooms lower transaminases when they are high, both when the liver is intoxicated, but also when it is affected by viral hepatitis. Medicinal Mushrooms are an excellent remedy to treat liver disease.

Can Medicinal Mushrooms cause food allergies or intolerances? No

Medicinal Mushrooms fight allergies because they restore the immune system to full efficiency. As for food intolerances, these are often digestive difficulties towards one or more foods and are the expression of intestinal inflammation. Also in this case Medicinal Mushrooms cure intestinal inflammations often solving food intolerances.

Do Medicinal Mushrooms have contraindications? No (except in one case)

Medicinal Mushrooms have no contraindications (except in one case) and can be associated with traditional drugs. The only known contraindication concerns Auricularia which is not suitable in pregnancy: because of its relaxing effect it could cause a decrease in the muscle tone of the uterus. We recommend having your doctor evaluate the association between Auricularia and anticoagulant drugs.
