The Mycology in Myco Clinic
Mycology is the branch of biology focused on the study of fungi. Today, fungi that are scientifically recognized for their high nutrient density are referred to as functional mushrooms because they support many biological functions in the body. Functional mushrooms should not be confused with psychedelic mushrooms, as they do not have hallucinogenic properties.
Pharmacological Use of Mushrooms
Functional mushrooms exhibit a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, especially anti-inflammatory properties, which are critical to wellness.
The field of mycology is credited for producing lifesaving drugs. Functional mushrooms are a rich source of nutrients and bioactive compounds. Moreover, they exhibit a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and osteoprotective properties.
MYCOCLINIC Mycological Formulations
How Mushrooms and Analgesics Work Together
FDA- listed analgesics menthol and camphor provider a cooling and heating sensation that distracts pain signals to the brain and induces vasodilation, which promotes blood flow to the muscles and joints.
Functional mushrooms are rich in anti-inflammatory properties and may even have antinociceptive effects. Research has shown that these mushrooms inhibit the inflammatory response by suppressing the signaling pathways. Some mushrooms have even been shown to be COX-2 inhibitors, similar to the mechanism of action of certain NSAIDs. These properties are the keystone to Myco Clinic’s innovative formulations.
The combination of these properties in Myco Clinic’s naturally derived formulations works synergistically to offer deeply penetrating rapid relief from aches and pains of the muscles and joints associated with simple backaches, arthritis, strains, sprains, and bruises.
MycoClinic’s BIOCEUTICAL Mushrooms
Bioceutical refers to a naturally sourced pharmaceutical alternative that promotes physiological benefits. Myco Clinic’s scientist believe this term best describes the carefully selected, potent USDA organic functional mushroom extracts featured in these proprietary formulations.
Reishi
(Ganoderma lucidum)
Traditionally used by medical communities in the FAr East, this functional mushroom is documented to contain high amounts of beta-glucans, which provide anti-inflammatory benefits by reducing inflammatory mediators.
Lion’s Mane
(Hericium erinaceus)
Commonly grown in North America, Asia, and Europe, this medicinal mushroom has been widely used in alternative medicine for its anti-inflammatory effects. A bioactive compound of this mushroom has been documented to alleviate neuropathic pain.
Cordyceps
(Cordyceps militaris)
One of the most important mushrooms in traditional Far East medicine. The bioactive components have been documented to exert anti-inflammatory activity, which has pharmacological implications in pain management.
Shiitake
(Lentinus edodes)
This mushroom is native to the mountain region of the Far East. The bioactive compounds ergothioneine and polysaccharides are documented to exert a strong anti-inflammatory effect, which can support joint and muscle health.
