Hey Matthew!

can mushroom extract powders like chaga, reishi etc be a good supportive general wellbeing supplement for cats?

Yes!

recommended dosages be?

I usually recommend this one:

Mushroom Complex for Fido & Fluffy

Two paws up: wildcrafted, wood-grown mushrooms plus ancient oat variants equals a safe, potent, powdered mushroom supplement supporting immune system health.

And follow the directions on the label.

Absolutely! Mushrooms are awesome, they provide so many benefits to the immune system and much more! Adored Beast has several mushroom products.

I was just revisiting the webinar presentation by Ihor Basko, on mushrooms and their uses. I am delighted to note all the affinities for various ailments, and am from hereon going to double, at least, the dosages I give my boy - not the least because he has been discovered to have what is being called a mast cell tumor. We have been using mushroom supplements for some time, and can give our recommendation to Host Defense products, for quality, morality, etc., in both single and combination formulas.
