Host Defense Mushrooms are part of an emerging trend toward natural, science-backed health solutions. Paul Stamets, an renowned mycologist, author and speaker who spearheads this movement is at the forefront of this effort.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is an adaptogen, helping your body adapt to stress and increase well-being. Furthermore, Reishi enhances immune function while acting as a parasympathetic nervous system tonic.

Stress Reduction

Reishi mushroom has long been considered the “Mushroom of Immortality.” Reishi has long been studied for its stress reduction benefits and powerful balancing properties, making it a wonderful way to help the body deal with daily stressors. Reishi also pairs well with Cordyceps as an energy and mood support supplement. Reishi and cordyceps mushrooms work great when taken together for energy and mood support. Medicinal mushrooms are considered “tonics”, which provide long term foundational support to organs and systems within our bodies over time; Host Defense products offer single mushroom varieties as well as blends targeted towards specific wellness goals.

Antioxidant Support

Reishi mushroom has long been recognized for its beneficial health effects on overall wellness support, known for centuries to help restore equilibrium in the body and promote longevity – earning it its nickname as “The Mushroom of Immortality.” Host Defense utilizes organic brown rice cultivation methods to offer digestible products with added cordyceps energy boost and shiitake mushrooms for heart/brain health combination products that utilize BPA-free capsules and participate in Gold Standard global carbon offset programs.

Heart Health

Reishi mushrooms have long been revered as “mushrooms of immortality”, used in traditional cultures around the world for centuries to help support our hearts. Reishi has been shown to improve blood circulation, balance immune function, reduce stress levels and reduce overall anxiety levels. Reishi pairs well with Cordyceps for energy and immune support.

Mushrooms have come a long way over the past decade with increased focus on immunity, cognitive functioning and mood improvement. Mushrooms are becoming more widely utilized today as they’ve long been part of ethnobotanical practices for centuries or millennia – their popularity only reflecting that.

Medicinal mushrooms like chaga, reishi and turkey tail are widely recognized for their powerful antioxidants, immune-enhancing benefits and natural vitamin D content. You can take these single mushroom supplements or combine them with others such as herbs to take advantage of their synergy when combined.
