OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fungi Perfecti, LLC - makers of Host Defense® Mushrooms™ - is pleased to announce the release of their brand new mushroom and herb formula: MycoBotanicals® Immune* powder!

Specially developed by the expert formulators at Fungi Perfecti, Immune* powder is designed for targeted support of immune health. With a blend of mycelium from 5 powerful mushroom species, along with 4 well-known herbs - including 75 mg of Vitamin C per serving - this powder is ideal for anyone seeking support for an engaged and balanced immune response.* 

The Host Defense MycoBotanicals line combines organic mushroom mycelium and herbs for targeted, system-specific support. Immune* powder includes the following mushrooms and herbs designed for optimal immune system function:*

Agarikon, Chaga, and Maitake: well-known for supporting a strongly engaged yet balanced immune response.*

Turkey Tail and Reishi: support intestinal tissue barrier function and promote the growth of probiotic microflora which supports the immune response.*

Acerola Cherry and Astragalus: support an engaged immune response and Astragalus also promotes upper respiratory wellness.*

Goji and Schizandra: support a balanced immune response and promote prebiotic activity in the probiotic microflora.*

Winner of the 2023 Taste for Life Immunity Essentials Award, this uniquely formulated blend has a slightly tart and subtly smoky flavor that perfectly elevates a range of cozy and delicious fall and winter recipes. And, like the other powders in the Host Defense® line, Immune* is certified organic, non-GMO, vegan, and gluten free, and is designed for daily use.* 

Different beneficial mushroom species offer different system-specific benefits, but they all have immune support in common.* Regarding the newest MycoBotanicals formula, Head of Science Education at Fungi Perfecti, Jerry Angelini stated:

Because beneficial mushrooms support immune modulatory activity when taken in the form of supplements, it makes sense to expand our Immunity & Wellness* line. We're really excited to introduce this robust powder that includes such a unique range of both mushroom and herb ingredients - there's nothing else like it on the market!*

MycoBotanicals® Immune* powder is available at fungi.com and  hostdefense.com, and can also be found at health food stores nationwide.
