Can I take Shiitake and Turkey tail together?

Why this happens

Both mushrooms contain bioactive compounds called beta-glucans. These work in a similar way to support immune function without interfering with how the body processes the other.

It is generally safe to take these together. However, as with any supplement, you should start with a small dose to ensure you do not have an individual sensitivity or digestive upset. Always inform your doctor about any supplements you are taking, especially if you are scheduled for surgery or have an autoimmune condition.
