About Host Defense - Cordyceps (Cordyceps Militaris) 120 capsules

Host Defense Cordyceps features Cordyceps militaris mycelium, a mushroom species traditionally used in Eastern wellness practices and now studied for its role in supporting energy metabolism, stamina, and respiratory function. Formulated by mycologist Paul Stamets, Host Defense uses certified organic mycelium grown on whole brown rice without added fillers or mycelium-free grain.

Why It's Worth Considering: Host Defense emphasizes full-spectrum mycelial biomass, preserving a broad range of naturally occurring compounds including cordycepin and beta-glucans, without relying on isolated extracts alone.
