The Corpet line of immune nutrition products supports the immune system in small pets and horses.*

Fungi have been valued as food and medicine for thousands of years. For over 3000 years the Chinese have used them for their health giving properties and especially as "tonics" for the immune system. One of the most valuable developments in western medicine in the last 100 years, the discovery of penicillin, was obtained from a fungus.
