For healthy pets:

For healthy pets, we believe the best way to feed any 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.

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.

MYCO-BIOME by Adored Beast mushrooms are broken down using a three-step process (triple-extraction), the first with hot water, the second with organic alcohol (which is the only way of extracting triterpenes), and the third with glycerin.

Once the extraction process is complete, 0% alcohol is left, and each batch is tested to ensure this level.

All mushrooms used in the MYCO-BIOME mushroom tinctures are grown in their own private forest, located in Maritime Canada, or freshly foraged in British Columbia, Canada.

The mushrooms offered by PAWDEGA contain the fruiting body. We do not offer products containing mycelium for a very good reason.

The only way to get mycelium is if companies grow the mushrooms in a bag, inside rice, oats, etc.

When mushrooms grow in a bag, taking the stuff the mushrooms grow in (like rice or oats) out of the bag is almost impossible. Most mycelium products on the market come from mushrooms grown in industrial bags, not from logs (wooden material).

The mushroom products offered by PAWDEGA are all grown IN Nature. In the forest, as Nature intended.

When mushrooms are grown in nature, you cannot just dig out a log and pull out the mycelium. The roots weave all into the log, and you just couldn’t do that.

When mycelium is taken out of mushrooms grown in bags, the polyphenols (beneficial compounds) don't come from the mushrooms themselves but from the stuff they grow in (oats or rice).

We believe in the old, traditional wisdom of using mushrooms, which is supported by elders who use medicinal mushrooms therapeutically. This means using the fruiting bodies.

Mycelium is a newer science, and until we're sure pet parents are only getting mushrooms and no substrates, we stick to the traditional way of only offering mushrooms from fruiting bodies.
