This mushroom powder is loved by many athletes because it is known to increase performance and energy levels.

This product has been tested for pesticides, artificial fertilisers, heavy metals, e.coli, yeast, mould, salmonella and foreign matter. It contains no bulking agents, added sugar, palm oil or GMO. 

Benefits 

✔️ ENHANCE PERFORMANCE & INCREASE ENERGY LEVELS 

This 100% pure Cordyceps mushroom fruiting body powder has gained popularity among athletes for its ability to enhance performance and increase energy levels. Cordyceps mushrooms are thought to enhance exercise performance by improving blood flow and oxygen utilisation in the body. It may increase the body's ability to use oxygen during exercise, delaying fatigue and improving performance¹. Dogs engaged in strenuous physical activities such as agility training, hunting, or involved in competition may potentially benefit from Cordyceps. However, research suggests that the benefits of Cordyceps mushrooms may be dose-dependent, with higher doses having a more significant effect⁶.

Origin

Sourced directly from China – where these mushrooms have been revered for centuries and where the best growing and procurement experts in the world are located – our Organic Cordyceps Mushroom Powder guarantees purity and authenticity. Each 30 g jar contains only premium-grade 100% fruiting body Cordyceps Sinesis, ensuring you receive all the potent bioactive compounds that make this mushroom so extraordinary.

Dosage for Dogs

Please note this is a superior type of Cordyceps mushroom to most found on the market currently, and therefore care needs to be taken on building up the dosage.

We recommend starting with a dosage of 0.356 g (16th of a teaspoon) per 15 kg of weight for the first 3 days.

We would then look to raise the dosage for serious need to 0.5 g (1/4 of a teaspoon) for every 15 kg of bodyweight daily, or as recommended by your Vet.

FAQs

Does mushroom powder have any side effects for dogs? 

Mushroom powder is generally considered safe for dogs when used as directed and in appropriate doses. However, as with any supplement or dietary change, individual dogs may react differently. Before introducing mushroom powder to your dog's diet, and if you observe any unusual symptoms or have concerns, we recommend consulting with a veterinarian for guidance and to address any specific health-related questions. 

What is the recommended duration for using mushroom powder? Is it safe for long-term use?

Mushroom powder can typically be used for extended periods as part of a long-term wellness regimen for your dog. It is considered safe for continuous use, but the ideal duration may vary depending on your dog's specific health goals and individual needs. Many dog owners incorporate mushroom powder into their dog's daily diet as part of a holistic approach to overall well-being.

It's essential to consult with a veterinarian to determine the most suitable duration and dosage, especially if your dog has specific health concerns.

How can I incorporate mushroom powder into my dog's diet?

Incorporating Turkey Tail mushroom powder into your dog's diet is typically straightforward and can often be mixed with their regular food. Here's a general guideline:

  • Sprinkle on Food: You can sprinkle the recommended dosage of Turkey Tail mushroom powder directly onto your dog's regular food. Mixing it well with the food ensures your dog consumes it.
  • Mix with Treats: If your dog enjoys treats, you can sprinkle the powder onto their treats or mix it into treat ingredients.
  • Create a Gravy or Paste: Some dog owners mix the powder with a small amount of water to create a paste or gravy-like consistency, which can then be poured over the food.
  • Homemade Dog Food: If you prepare homemade meals for your dog, you can incorporate the powder directly into their meals.

Ensure you follow the recommended dosage based on your dog's weight and health needs. Starting with a small amount and gradually increasing it over a few days can help your dog adjust to the new addition.
