Overview

This supplement contains Vitamin D3 at a beneficial dose for general immune and bone health. However, the 'Superfood Blend' uses a proprietary blend, which means the specific amounts of Reishi Mushroom Mycelium, Chaga Mycelium, and Organic Fermented Schisandra Berry are undisclosed. While these ingredients show promise in preclinical studies (cellular and animal models) for immune modulation, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, there is a significant lack of robust human clinical trials to support their efficacy, particularly for these specific mycelium and fermented forms, at the undisclosed dosages provided within the blend. The clinical relevance of the Superfood Blend's components is therefore highly questionable despite their traditional use and initial mechanistic findings.

The Good

Provides a clinically relevant dose of Vitamin D3 (32.5 mcg / 1300 IU), supporting bone health and immune function

Uses a form of Vitamin D3 derived from organic Saccharomyces cerevisiae, suitable for vegetarians

Incorporates traditionally used adaptogenic mushrooms (Reishi, Chaga) and an adaptogenic berry (Schisandra)

The Bad

Proprietary blend conceals individual ingredient dosages for Reishi, Chaga, and Schisandra, making it impossible to verify effectiveness

Most reported benefits for Reishi, Chaga, and Schisandra are from preclinical (in vitro and animal) studies, with limited or no robust human clinical trial data

Efficacy of Reishi and Chaga mycelium extracts may differ from fruiting body extracts, which are often the focus of research
