Safety Precautions: For all of the mushrooms

CAUTION:

Do not use when on immune­ suppressing medications, e.g. after an organ transplant. This extract's immune ­modulating properties can act against the medication, so do not use this extract if you are using this type of medicine.

Better NOT to mix with lactose ­containing products, such as milk lactose as it will bind to the polyphenols, rendering them useless.

For people that are highly susceptible to swings in blood sugar levels (usually the same people that have problems with alcohol and caffeine): mushroom extracts can have an effect on blood sugar levels. People using insulin (such as diabetics) might have to adjust their medication. There are reports stating that taking mushroom extracts can cause feelings of fatigue or dizziness in these cases because blood sugar levels are too low. Taking the product together with some sugar­ containing beverage (such as freshly squeezed juice ­also contains vitamin C! might help.

Since the effect on pregnant and breastfeeding women has never been researched, we recommend against using mushroom extracts in these situations.

General Guidelines: For all mushrooms:

This product does not contain toxins, psychotropic substances or other harmful substances. It is not addictive. It is not possible to overdose and there are no harmful side effects. In general it can be used together with other medications and will not affect the intended effect of that medication.

Also, it might have a positive effect on the undesired side effects of medication. Positive effects have been reported e.g. during chemo and radiation therapy.

The product should be taken with water or another liquid (not in smoothies !) on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before meals. If you do not want to consume the capsules, they are easy to open (just pull them apart) and you can dissolve the extract powder that's inside in warm water. We recommend to take the extract together with some vitamin C ­ this improves the absorption and therefore the therapeutic potential of beta­glucan in particular.
