In Corpet News N° 3, we present further developments on the implementation of supplementation with Coriolus versicolor (Corpet) as an immunonutrient in small animals with Visceral Leishmaniasis.

This theme seems to be very important, as according to the latest statistics, this disease has increased about 46% in Portugal from 2000 to 2007.

We have included an update on the cases of visceral cases on Corpet News n° 2 and a case study on the Effectiveness of Immunonutrition with Coriolus versicolor Supplementation in Canine Leishmaniasis, intittled "The efficacy of the use of immunotherapy in canine Leishmaniasis" by Dr. Andrea Lara Oliveira and his Assistant Dr. Ricardo Almeida Santos, at Clínica Veterinária da Lousâ.

Also focus on Corpet supplementation for poneis and horses as well as on the implications of the recent Clinical Study with the Supplementation of Coriolus versicolor in Patients with HPV Lesions (LSIL), with a poster presentation by Dr.J. Silva Couto, Gynaecology Department - cervical Pathology Unit - Portuguese Institute of Oncology, Coimbra - Portugal

Both in human and in animal health, the main function of glyconutrients, when attached to proteins, is to facilitate communication between cells. Glycoscience is the study of carbohydrates / sugars and their biological functions. The eight (8) sugars or saccharides which we mention on this Corpet newsletter, are needed to communicate between cells and knowledge of its interaction, which is vital for the detection of cellular degeneration and subsequent impact on health. In Corpet News N° 2 we focus on immunonutrition with Mushrooms: the function of Glyconutrients.

Corpet is manufactured in the United Kingdom by Mycology Research Laboratories, Ltd, in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices(GMP).

Clinical tests carried out with Coriolus Versicolor as an immunonutrient on 36 patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome evidenced a 35% increase in NK (Natural Killer Cells) activity. The significant development in NK (Natural Killer Cells) is explained by the activity of the enzymes contained in Corpet.

Corpet has been tested in normal toxicity tests.

The following bulletin provides information on the make up, correct dosage and clinical development of Corpet on small animals.
