MUSHROOMHost Defense
Host Defense MyCommunity Capsules
General immune support, broad-spectrum wellness, adaptogenic benefits.. The product provides a wide array of mushrooms for general wellness. However, the use of mycelium on rice biomass means a significant portion is grain, diluting the active mushroom compounds. Individual doses are also quite low, limiting specific benefits.
5.5/10
DECENT17 mushroom species sounds impressive but every single one is severely underdosed. The highest dose (chaga at 148mg) is 30% of its minEffective. Lion's mane at 64mg is 13% of minEffective. Turkey tail at 48mg is 5% of minEffective. Mycelium on rice dilutes further. A jack of all mushrooms, master of none.
