Reviews

Befungin mostly receives positive reviews on medical forums. They highlight its high efficiency in the treatment of constipation, gastritis with pancreatitis, and cracks in the rectum. All people who have taken this extract note that it has a general strengthening effect - after taking it, the frequency of colds decreases, efficiency increases, and a feeling of vigor appears.

Quite often there are comments about the use of drugs in oncology. It should be noted that the anti-cancer effect of the chaga mushroom has not been clinically confirmed - it will not help to get rid of a malignant tumor. Befungin is used in the combined treatment of tumors - in the form of a symptomatic drug that improves hematopoiesis and appetite, reduces pain and eliminates poisoning. Therefore, cancer patients experience an improvement in their condition and well-being when using the drug, but this is not a sign of eliminating the cause of the disease.
