Medicinal Mushrooms
Medicinal Mushrooms are more
than 80% genetically identical to the
human body. What does this mean? It
may mean that these mushrooms are
utilized by our immune system,
nervous
system,
cardiovascular
system, heart, liver and kidneys more
efficiently than most other botanical
compounds.
