Mushroom Defense Mix
Vitamer Laboratories
Overview
The effectiveness of this product is difficult to assess accurately due to the proprietary blend format and the use of 'mycelial biomass' rather than fruiting body extracts, coupled with a relatively low total dose for a blend of highly-regarded mushrooms. While individual mushrooms within the blend possess scientifically-backed health benefits, their concentrations here are unknown, making it improbable for each to reach an effective dose for specific benefits. The product relies on general immune support claims rather than specific, quantifiable outcomes.
The Good
Contains a wide variety of commonly studied medicinal mushrooms
Made with certified organic ingredients
Suitable for vegans and free from common allergens (gluten, milk, soy, etc.)
The Bad
Proprietary blend makes individual mushroom dosages unknown, likely leading to underdosing of each component.
Uses 'mycelial biomass' rather than fruiting body extracts, which may have lower concentrations of key bioactive compounds like beta-glucans.
Total dose of 700mg for 8 mushrooms is very low, making it unlikely for any single mushroom to be at a clinically effective dose.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking general immune support, those interested in adaptogenic benefits
Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, or on medication without consulting a healthcare provider.
