What to know before you buy maitake for dogs
- Polysaccharides contain natural healing properties. D-fraction is a polysaccharide found naturally in maitake mushrooms and it’s been found to be capable of not only fighting cancer, but boosting the production of lymphokines and interleukins that improve immune system response.
- D-fraction is especially effective against canine cancers. According to a study, the D-fraction pulled from maitakes can inhibit cancer cell growth and even kill cancer cells.
Mushroom supplements and mushrooms for dogs are not equal!
