Can I take Royal sun and Shiitake together?

Por qué sucede esto

These mushrooms have additive pharmacodynamic effects. They both act as 'immunomodulators', meaning they increase the activity of certain white blood cells. These also contain compounds called beta-glucans and other chemicals that can improve insulin sensitivity and inhibit platelets (the cells that help your blood clot). When combined, these effects can be additive.

It is best to use caution when combining these two medicinal mushrooms. If you have an autoimmune condition (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) or if you are taking blood-thinning medications (like warfarin or aspirin), you should speak to your doctor before taking them together. Stop using both at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery to prevent excessive bleeding. Monitor your blood sugar levels closely if you have diabetes, and watch for signs of easy bruising or bleeding.

Trastornos de la coagulación o cirugía

Estos suplementos pueden ralentizar la coagulación de la sangre y aumentar el riesgo de sangrado. Debe dejar de tomarlos al menos 2 semanas antes de cualquier cirugía programada. Úsese con precaución si está tomando medicamentos anticoagulantes como warfarina o aspirina.

Diabetes

These supplements can lower blood sugar levels. If you are taking insulin or other diabetes medications, monitor your blood sugar closely as your dose may need adjustment to prevent hypoglycaemia (dangerously low blood sugar).

Condiciones autoinmunes (por ejemplo, esclerosis múltiple, lupus, artritis reumatoide)

These supplements can increase immune system activity, which may worsen the symptoms of autoimmune diseases. Avoid use if you have these conditions.

Dermatitis por shiitake

Eating raw or undercooked shiitake can cause a severe, itchy skin rash (flagellate dermatitis) that looks like whip marks. Ensure mushrooms are thoroughly cooked.

Alcohol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol when taking medicinal mushrooms. Both alcohol and certain compounds in these mushrooms are processed by the liver; combining them may increase the strain on your liver or alter how the supplements are metabolised.

Ingesta general de alimentos

Estos hongos medicinales contienen polisacáridos complejos (beta-glucanos). Para una mejor absorción, a menudo se recomienda tomarlos con el estómago vacío, al menos 30 minutos antes de una comida, o con una pequeña cantidad de vitamina C (como un pequeño vaso de jugo de naranja), lo cual puede ayudar al cuerpo a absorber los compuestos activos.
