It is a sign of civilization to help all living beings, especially the most defenseless, animals, to maintain good health and to lead a dignified existence. Veterinarians have long established that prevention is also a fundamental step for our four-legged friends. Shiitake is a much loved mushroom in Japan, also used regularly for prevention in animals. This is because it ensures a whole series of benefits already found in humans, namely:
regulates the intestine and reconstitutes lactic ferments;
improves immune defenses and protects against viruses, bacteria, candida;
cleanses the liver of toxins and free radicals;
fights tooth decay, tartar and promotes bone health;
fights arteriosclerosis and cholesterol;
helps blood circulation;
counteracts the onset of fever, flu, bronchitis, cough.
