This is exciting. We posted about this awesome study a year or so ago though wanted to refresh us and you because this is a powerful one :)
Many of the mushrooms we offer have been cherished for thousands of years in traditional use. Over the past 20 to 30 years, they’ve increasingly become the focus of scientific study for their potential to support human health and well-being.
This quick blog post was inspired by Dr Robert Hoffman (DAOM, Lac, Chief Academic and Clinical Affairs Officer).
Please note, the following is not medical advice, but rather a summary of findings from a 2014 study by Bruno Donatini.
The study is a remarkable one—potentially life-changing for some—focusing on the effects of Turkey Tail, Reishi, and their impact on HPV (types 16 and 18), the primary strains associated with cancer.
The results? In a human clinical trial, 88% of participants with HPV 16/18 cleared the virus after consuming Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail) and Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) over a period of 14 to 16 weeks.
Interestingly, Reishi on its own was found to clear 5% of cases, suggesting it’s the combination of Turkey Tail and Reishi that delivered the impressive results.
How extraordinary—and important—this discovery is.
