SPECIMEN #HOST-DEF
MUSHROOMHost Defense
Host Defense Stamets 7 Capsules
A daily multi-mushroom blend designed for general immune and cognitive support.. This blend gives you seven fantastic mushrooms, but at just 143mg each, you aren't getting a clinical dose of any of them. Plus, it uses myceliated grain rather than fruiting body extracts. This means a portion of that weight is just the rice substrate. If you want real cognitive or immune benefits, you need much higher doses of specific mushroom extracts.
5.5/10
DECENTSeven mushroom species at 143mg each. Every single one is below minEffective: cordyceps needs 1000mg (14% here), reishi needs 500mg (29%), lion's mane needs 500mg (29%), chaga needs 500mg (29%). Mycelium form instead of fruiting body. Same problem as MyCommunity but with slightly higher per-species amounts that still fall short.
