Organic Mushroom Immune
Sprouts Farmers Market
Overview
The effectiveness of 'Organic Mushroom Immune' is difficult to ascertain due to the use of a proprietary blend, which does not disclose the individual amounts of each mushroom mycelia. While several mushrooms included, such as Reishi, Turkey Tail, Maitake, Cordyceps, Shiitake, and Lion's Mane, have promising research supporting immune, cognitive, and overall health benefits, the specific dosages within this blend are unknown. Many studies for these mushrooms use higher individual doses or specific extracts (e.g., fruiting body) that may not be present in this mycelia-based product at effective levels. Research on Poria cocos, Fomes fomentarius, Zhu Ling, Agaricus blazei, Tremella, and Velvet Foot mycelia is notably less robust, with many studies being preclinical or lacking clear clinical efficacy.
The Good
Diverse blend of recognized medicinal mushrooms known for various health benefits.
Certified organic ingredients, ensuring absence of synthetic pesticides and chemicals.
Suitable for vegetarians/vegans due to 'Veggie Caps' formulation.
The Bad
Proprietary blend conceals individual ingredient dosages, making efficacy assessment difficult.
Mycelia-only formulations may contain less beneficial compounds compared to fruiting body extracts.
Lack of specific clinical trials for this combination and dosage.
Is it for you?
