But today let\u2019s focus on 3 key ways this mushroom can help your dog.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Help With Allergies&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When your dog has allergies, it\u2019s easy to become focused on what triggers them. So much so that dog owners often lose focus on why their dog is reacting in the first place.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Allergies are a symptom of a stressed-out immune system. And most of your dog\u2019s immune system is in his gut \u2026 nearly 90% of it. That means problems in the digestive tract will weaken your dog\u2019s immune system. Problems like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">leaky gut<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or even just a minor imbalance in the bacteria that live there. And a weak immune system means your dog will be more susceptible to stressors in his environment and food.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The more stressors there are in your dog\u2019s life, the weaker his immune system becomes. And the more reactive his allergies are.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cordyceps<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> contain an active compound called deoxyadenosine. This can suppress proteins that trigger the allergic response. In one study, cordyceps were 33% more effective than antihistamines and worked more quickly.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It also helps support the organs that detox environmental <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">immune stressors<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> including \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pollution<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pollens<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chemicals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pesticides<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Medications&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kibble&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep those allergies in check with nature\u2019s Benadryl \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Increase Endurance&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cordyceps are also known for increasing energy and vitality. In fact, athletes use cordyceps to help reach their professional goals.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 1993 the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chinese Olympic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> team broke three woman\u2019s track and field records. People believed this was because of illegal performance enhancers. But it turns out the only thing the athletes took were cordyceps \u2026 a natural and safe medicinal food.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s because cordyceps increase stamina and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">improve heart function<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. They also supply the amino acids your dog needs to build and repair muscle, which is important for preventing joint issues.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And your dog can enjoy the same benefits.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But make sure to use them long-term for endurance. A <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2016 study<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> showed that cordyceps used for a short period had no impact on performance. But when used regularly for a longer time, they increase performance and delay fatigue.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So if you want to boost your dog\u2019s energy for competition, training or every day play \u2026 try <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cordyceps<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Slow Aging And Prevent Cancer&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Early you learned about the different immune stressors that can affect your dog. But these stressors don\u2019t just irritate and cause allergies. They can also cause <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">oxidative stress<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oxidative stress happens when unstable molecules called free radicals run rampant in your dog. When they\u2019re not controlled, free radicals can damage cells and DNA, which leads to \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Premature aging<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diabetes&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Neurological disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organ problems<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arthritis&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And more<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The good news is that cordyceps have antioxidants that can help prevent these problems. That\u2019s because antioxidants can help clean up and prevent free radical damage.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cordyceps<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> also have <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">anti-tumor properties<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which can help prevent and fight cancer more directly. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Research<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> even shows that Cordyceps have the ability to kill cancer cells. And you can use it alongside chemotherapy (should you go that route).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n <!-- This site is converting visitors into subscribers and customers with OptinMonster - https:\/\/optinmonster.com --><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How To Give Your Dog Cordyceps Mushrooms&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because wild cordyceps grow on insects, they can be expensive to harvest. But cordyceps are also cultivated. Cultivated cordyceps may not be as potent as wild-grown mushrooms \u2026 but they\u2019re still effective and come with a lower price tag.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can give cordyceps to your dog by making a tea or broth with dried or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">powdered cordyceps<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Caution<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Never give your dog raw mushrooms as they can be hard to digest and some may be toxic when raw.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can also look for a product with a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">variety of medicinal mushrooms<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> including cordyceps. This is a convenient way to add mushrooms to your dog\u2019s diet. And a blend of mushrooms will work synergistically to give your dog even more benefits.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>TIP:<\/strong> Look for a product that\u2019s made from the whole fruiting body and isn\u2019t grown in grain or rice. These products pack a more powerful medicinal punch!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So try giving your dog cordyceps as part of his daily diet or try another mushroom, like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">turkey tail<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lion\u2019s mane<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cordyceps are a type of mushroom that grows on the bodies of caterpillars and other insects.
