Dietary SupplementFungi Perfecti®Supporting Natural ImmunityTMEnergy SupportMade with U.S. Grown Organic Mushrooms The SourceEach mushroom species collected by Paul Stamets from the old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest is sustainably harvested. The ecosystem remains intact and unharmed. We carefully culture the mycelium for the Host Defense products on the Fungi Perfecti Farm in a way that maintains the lowest PValueTM possible. This creates identical genetic matches to the mycelium found in their native habitats, ensuring the provenance and genetic vitality of each strain. Our chain-of-custody guarantees the efficacy and viability of the species in the Host Defense line: From the Forest, to our Farm, to YouTM.Host Defense® CordycepsTraditionally, Himalayan mountain peoples have used Cordyceps to enhance strenuous, high altitude activities.
