Mushroom Matrix Spreads through Europe with the Help of Equilabs
The Mushroom Matrix is quickly becoming the nutritional supplement of choice for many of Europe's top riders and trainers and thanks to Equilabs, European equestrians now have easy access to the many health benefits of Matrix products. Equilabs, owned by Colin and Janis Lennen, is now the European home of the Matrix, providing easy access to Matrix supplements for both horses and humans.
Colin and Janis have long been believers in a nutritional approach to the prevention and cure of disease. A growing body of medical research is supporting long-held beliefs in the health benefits of medicinal mushrooms. But Colin and Janis don't need science to convince them that mushrooms can help prevent and cure illness and disease. Personal experience has made them believers.
Several years ago, Janis was diagnosed with breast cancer and knowing the potential side effects of conventional treatments, she opted to explore alternative therapies, particularly nutrition, to address diseases such as cancer. That exploration led the British couple to medicinal mushrooms. "Other than a small amount of radiotherapy, I have only used a nutritional approach and mainly focused on the mushrooms," Janis said.
Eventually, the couple's research into medicinal mushrooms led them to Bob Richardson, a researcher and mushroom expert for the Mushroom Matrix. He helped to develop the right balance of medicinal mushrooms to support Janis's immune system in its battle against the cancer. "I was diagnosed three years ago and right now I'm in remission," Janis said. She said she's confident that with the help of the Matrix she will continue to win her battle against cancer, but she is not the only family member who has turned to mushrooms to battle disease.
The couple's daughter, Katherine, suffers from Crohn's Disease. She first used conventional treatment methods but the side effects were severe. Hence, she followed her parents' advice and turned to a more natural approach. "Our main approach was to work with mushrooms to heal the GI tract and to heal the gut and to increase bioavailability of the mushrooms. At the moment, our daughter takes a high dose of both mushroom powder and mushroom capsules and is doing well," Janis said.
Katherine's last medical examination showed that the inflammation had decreased. "It shows that the mushrooms work," Janis said. "Friends of Katherine's, who she first met in hospital, are always being admitted with flare-ups and, 'touch wood,' she is not."
Having seen for themselves the ability of mushrooms to address health issues, Colin and Janis made it a mission to help others discover the health benefits of mushrooms, not only for themselves, but for their animals. Their world-wide search for the best source of medicinal mushrooms to treat their own family's health issues led them to the Mushroom Matrix. The couple was so impressed with the company and its line of nutritional products, that they launched their own company - Equilabs - to serve as the European source for Matrix products.
Equilabs carries the full line of Matrix nutritional supplements for horses and for humans. Matrix products contain 100 percent certified organic mushrooms, engineered to specifically address health needs of horses, humans and small animals. Matrix products provide literally thousands of natural enzymes, proteins and nutrients and also contain high levels of antioxidants.
