Works great for autoimmune disease!
I've been using this as part of a treatment regimen for a cat with a life-threatening autoimmune disease.  It's crucial to use immunomodulating supplements, as opposed to immune stimulants, when treating autoimmune conditions and reishi (fruiting body) is king in the world of immune modulating supplements.  I wanted a pure, organic formula, and so far this is the only one I've found that fits the criteria.  I can't understand why more medicinal mushroom formulas aren't organic.  If you're taking it for immunity because you're sick, the last thing you want is to bombard your body with pesticides.<br /><br />The only side-effect kitty has experienced (that I'm aware of) is an upset stomach if the dosage is too high.  Cats can take 10-25 mg./1 lb. of body weight daily.  I started him at the max dose (not the best idea, I know) and have had to decrease it to the minimum, which still appears to be effective.  He definitely has more color and energy on the reishi.  When I've stopped it for a few days due to tummy issues I've seen a decline in color and overall well-being.<br /><br />He usually eats it mixed with his regular food, so the bitterness doesn't appear to bother him.  He is a bit of an odd duck in that regard; I think cats generally aren't fond of bitter foods.  If you wanted to try it on your own cat, you could probably disguise the flavor in something stinky like mackerel.<br /><br />I'm planning to add cordyceps, another immunomodulator, to the regimen before long.
