BREATHE is a beneficial addition to any dog’s proactive wellness routine to help maintain health, help enhance breathing, and support cardiovascular health proactively. For a proactive approach to pet wellness, we recommend rotating between the different medicinal mushroom tinctures Chaga, Turkey Tail, Vitality, Clarity, and Breathe.

BREATHE is especially recommended to help support dogs dealing with breathing problems, respiratory concerns, collapsed trachea, heart conditions, flat nosed dogs, and more.

Liquid mushrooms are more bioavailable and contain many more beneficial compounds compared to powdered mushrooms.

For a mushroom’s medicinal values to be activated and bioavailable, they need to be extracted. Liquid extracts are able to hold and preserve the many bioactive compounds that are released during extraction. 

Liquid extractions are also easier to absorb than powder, as the body doesn’t need to digest anything, and therefore, the medicinal properties of the mushroom can be absorbed right into the body.

MycoDog mushrooms are meticulously extracted through a unique triple-extraction process. This includes a primary ethanol extraction using Organic Cane Alcohol (no alcohol is present in the final product), followed by a hydro extraction with distilled water, before finally carefully extracting the fungi’s mineral salts, which we imbibe into the tincture. The result? A powerful mushroom tincture, known as a Spagyric Tincture.

There are (at least) 350mg of mushroom extract in 1mL.

Yes. Researchers have been looking very closely at medicinal mushrooms and the long list of benefits they offer. Dive into the studies below.

Chaga Mushoom Extract

The extract of Chaga mushrooms causes significant tumor-suppressive effects on mice with tumors. In this study, researchers observed a 60% tumor size reduction in mice. (1)

Chaga mushrooms contain the antioxidant triterpene, and test-tube studies have shown that highly concentrated amounts of triterpene extract can promote the death of cancer cells. (2)

Chaga mushroom extract may also be beneficial in treating inflammatory bowel disease (3).

MycoDog tinctures are thoughtfully formulated from mushrooms that are grown outside, naturally in the woods of the Pacific Northwest in the USA.

Mushrooms are bioaccumulators, which means they absorb toxins from polluted air and earth. Although China is known for its mushroom cultivation methods, it is one of the most polluted countries in the world.

The mushrooms used in the MycoDog tinctures are growing in their natural environment in the United States Pacific Northwest region and are not exposed to these pollutants and toxins, which is an important factor to consider when choosing mushrooms for dogs.

It is important to source mushrooms from an area that is least likely to be impacted by environmental toxins that might be absorbed by the mushrooms.

Did you know mushrooms can be grown on things like grain and rice? It’s a cheap and quick way to mass produce. The problem is, well, you are what you eat. So mushrooms that are grown on grains take in the nutrients from those grains, which are severely lacking in the health benefits your dog needs. If the mushroom is grown on a tree, in the wild (where they naturally grow), it’s able to absorb all of the important vitamins and nutrients your dog needs to thrive.

A lot of people don’t realize this, but there are actually mushrooms growing, wild-harvested, extracted, and packaged in the United States (such as our MycoDog mushrooms)! If you do a little research, you’ll see that the Pacific Northwest is a mushroom heaven that’s been supplying us with naturally grown mushrooms for over 2,400 years.

For healthy pets:

For healthy pets, we believe the best way to feed functional supplements is to rotate them. So once you run out of this supplement, you can move on to a different one.

By rotating through different natural supplements on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, your pet receives a variety of different health benefits. You can add certain supplements according to the season (i.e., a Spring detox) or rotate throughout the year for well-balanced health.

For symptomatic pets:

While trying to address any health issue with functional supplements, it is good to do a minimum of 6 weeks. This is because authentic herbalists found that the body needs an average of 6 weeks to process the healing response.

Many animals take our functional supplements long-term because they feel so much better when on them.

Store in a cool, dark place.
