Puis-je prendre Maitake et Shiitake ensemble ?

For most healthy people eating these mushrooms in normal food amounts, there is no cause for concern. However, if you are taking concentrated supplements, you should be cautious.

Pourquoi cela se produit

Both maitake and shiitake mushrooms have 'antiplatelet' properties. This means they make the tiny cells in your blood (platelets) less 'sticky', which makes it harder for your blood to form clots. When used together, this effect can be stronger.

Stop taking these supplements at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery.

If you are already taking blood-thinning medications (such as warfarine ou aspirine), speak to your doctor before combining these supplements.

You may be experiencing an interaction between maitake and shiitake mushrooms if:

• You took large amounts of both together (especially as supplements).

• You feel sick (nausea), have diarrhoea, or an upset stomach.

• You feel dizzy or weak, especially if you have diabetes (they can lower blood sugar).

• You notice easy bruising or bleeding (they may affect blood clotting).

• You develop rash, itching, or breathing problems (possible allergy).

Si vous présentez l'un des symptômes ci-dessus, vous devriez :

• Stop taking the mushrooms or supplements.

• Avoid taking both together unless a healthcare professional advises it.

• Get urgent help for breathing problems, severe allergic reaction, or heavy bleeding.

• Speak to a GP or pharmacist if symptoms are mild but don’t go away.

• Monitor blood sugar if you have diabetes.

Troubles de la coagulation ou chirurgie

Ces compléments peuvent ralentir la coagulation du sang et augmenter le risque de saignement. Vous devez arrêter de les prendre au moins 2 semaines avant toute intervention chirurgicale prévue. Faites preuve de prudence si vous prenez des médicaments anticoagulants comme la warfarine ou l'aspirine.

Diabète

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).

Maladies auto-immunes (par exemple, sclérose en plaques, lupus, polyarthrite rhumatoïde)

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

Pression artérielle basse (Hypotension)

These supplements may lower blood pressure. If you already have low blood pressure or take medication to control high blood pressure, they could cause your blood pressure to drop too low.

Dermatite shiitake

Eating raw or undercooked shiitake mushrooms can cause a severe, itchy skin rash known as 'flagellate dermatitis' which looks like whip marks on the skin. Ensure mushrooms are thoroughly cooked to avoid this reaction.

Alcool

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.
