Product Description: Host Defense Maitake contains activated, freeze-dried, Certified Organic mycelium and fruitbodies, providing a complex array of synergistic constituents: a full spectrum of polysaccharides (beta glucans, arabinoxylane, glucose, xylose, galactose and mannose), glycoproteins, ergosterols, triterpenoids and other myco-nutrients, which are essential for supporting natural immunity.
Found growing in temperate hardwood forests, Maitake (Japanese for "the Dancing Mushroom") has been the subject of studies worldwide and is known for supporting normal cell growth. Rich in 1,3, 1,4 and 1,6 beta-D glucans, Maitake is a delicious, edible species, with a long history of traditional use.

The Source: Each mushroom species collected by Paul Stamets from the old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest is sustainably harvested. The ecosystem remains intact and unharmed. We carefully culture the mycelium for the Host Defense products on the Fungi Perfecti Farm in a way that maintains the lowest P Value possible. This creates identical genetic matches to the mycelium found in their native habitats, ensuring the provenance and genetic vitality of each strain. Our chain-of-custody guarantees the efficacy and viability of the species in the Host Defense line: from the Forest, to our Farm, to You.

About the Founder: Paul Stamets believes in the power of mycelium, the network of thread-like cells that produces mushrooms. Paul wants every person to share in the benefits from the Host Defense line of products. Mentored by the greatest mycologists of our time, he integrates and expands upon the knowledge of our ancestors.
A portion of the proceeds from your purchase goes to Fungi Perfecti's research to save rare strains of mushrooms that dwell within the old growth forests.
