There are different applications of medication including nutritional supplements. One application of nutritional supplements is in the case of essential nutrients which are required for the body to function normally and at its best. Another application is in the form of preventive medicine with or without the apparent symptoms of illness. Some pet supplements are employed by proactive clinicians even when there is not an overt need. Henry K. Yoo, at Preventive Medicine, demonstrates the use of Agaricus blazei mushroom in veterinary medicine.

How it works
Agaricus blazei mushroom is known as the most potent natural immune supporter amongst mushrooms and related products. Beta-glucans, alpha-glucans, and polysaccharide compounds are thought to be the molecules in the mushroom most responsible for immune system up-regulation. Beta-glucans, which are present in high concentrations in Agaricus blazei, have been shown to stimulate the activity of immune system cells like macrophages and other polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Doctors always check the level of white blood cells of a patient to ascertain the level of immunity through blood test that includes Macrophages and PMN cell numbers. In addition, beta-glucan polysaccharides are thought to resemble the cell walls of certain bacteria and prime the immune system for action.
The following diagram shows the increased level of immunity in solid red line due to the use of Agaricus blazei mushroom pet supplement at the age of 6–7 weeks of puppy and kittens. Without the Agaricus blazei mushroom pet supplement, the level of immunity can fall rapidly after the maternal immunity declines from the infant blood system. Therefore, infant puppies or kittens with insufficient maternal immunity from improper nutrition, undesirable nursing process, and newborn puppy/kitten infections can have naturally low defense mechanisms from the birth to juvenile stage. As the black shaded area shows, the immunity will easily fall below the level of Minimum Immunity Required. I believe this is why the Agaricus blazei mushroom pet supplement will provide solid support to any infant animals entering the juvenile stage.
