We ensure that the fruiting body and mycellium as well as the extra-cellular metabolites are blended to deliver the concentrated polysaccharides and beta-glucans.
This broad-spectrum formula contains the highest organic grade, sustainably cultivated herbs, carefully selected to bring you the full potential of nature’s goodness." - PukkaUS

Organic Reishi Mushroom - reishi mushrooms can help restore hormonal balance and regulate activity of the immune system. Over all this incredible mushroom does a wonderful job in enabling the body back to homeostasis.
Organic Shiitake Mushroom - This mushroom contains all eight essential amino acids, which play an essential role in optimizing immune function. The linoleic acid content in particular helps to improve digestion, aiding in the reduction of food allergies and sensitivities.
Maitake Mushroom - According to some studies, maitake mushrooms can be effective in stimulating an immune response helping to ward off disease. Studies have also shown that their effects were even stronger when paired with shiitake mushrooms as they work together synergistically.

Ginger - An antibacterial root that helps to support the immune system. It's also a wonderful ingredient to have on hand as it can be beneficial in preventing nausea and soothing an upset stomach.

Beta Glucans - When we have a weekend immune system, our blood cells are typically working hard to fight off infection. Beta Glucans are plant sterols that aid in triggering a defense response, boosting the immune system and preventing the sickness from spreading to other parts of the body.
