Overview

Mycoceutics Tick Defense utilizes a proprietary blend of several well-researched medicinal mushrooms, along with Beta-1,3-Glucan, known for their immune-modulating properties. While individual ingredients like Reishi, Turkey Tail, Cordyceps, and Shiitake have a solid scientific basis for immune support, the use of a proprietary blend for the majority of the active ingredients makes it impossible to determine if each mushroom is present in clinically effective doses. The inclusion of 75mg of Beta-1,3-Glucan is a positive, as effective doses for immune support typically start around 100-200mg, but the amount here is lower than generally recommended for optimal efficacy.

The Good

Rich in well-known immune-modulating mushrooms (Reishi, Turkey Tail, Cordyceps, Shiitake).

Contains Beta-1,3-Glucan, a recognized immune enhancer.

Mushrooms are grown in a proprietary botanical growth medium, potentially enhancing benefits.

The Bad

Proprietary blend masks individual ingredient dosages, making it difficult to assess optimal efficacy.

Beta-1,3-Glucan dose (75mg) is below the generally effective range for standalone immune support.

The name "Tick Defense" suggests specific efficacy against tick-borne issues, which is not clinically supported by the ingredients or claims.
