Description:
Host Defense Mushrooms Maitake Extract turbo-charges the immune system. Maitake is rich in the polysaccharide D-fraction, which is a combination of 70% beta-glucan and 30% proteins. Researchers have determined that it is this heavy concentration of beta-glucan that gives Maitake its unique therapeutic abilities.
The Host Defense company was founded by mushroom expert Paul Stamets. Paul Stamets is a renowned mycologist and scientist who has dedicated his life to the research of medicinal fungi and mycoremediation. You can learn more about the amazing work of Paul Stamets here.

Each 1 ounce bottle contains a meticulously crafted extract of pure Maitake (Grifola frondosa) mycelium/fermented brown rice biomass extract. It is recommended to take one milliliter a day with or without food. All Host Defense mushrooms are sustainably cultivated, certified organic, and U.S.-grown mushrooms from the forest, to the farm, to the customer.
