Host Defense MyCommunity Extract - 17 Species Blend Mushroom Supplement for Immune Support - Extract with Lion's Mane, Reishi. Chaga, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail & More - 4 fl oz (120 Servings)*USDA Organic

This product is awesome. I like it because of the mushroom variations to support brain health. I’ve been taking this product for quite a few months and actually like the tincture drops better than the pills. I sleep well, stay healthy, my activity level is great, and my mind is sharp.

Great immune support! Be sure to use on a plane and when you travel!

I was mainly taking this as a preventative-- trying to prevent myself from ever getting cancer, etc., and while I have no way of telling whether it works on that or not at this point, I can say that it has already helped my immune system significantly enough for me to notice it. For example, I had issues (minor infections, sores) with my gums and my mouth before I started taking this on a daily basis for over a month, and they all went away. I do a lot of gardening and I get lots of scratches, cuts, and scrapes on my arms, hands, and legs. I notice now that they heal up much faster than in the past. Almost every afternoon I used to get a low grade fever after a busy day of various activities, and now, while I may be tired at the end of the day, I don't get that fever anymore. So, I can say that this stuff has actually helped my immune system and for that it is worth what I paid for it.I do take other things as well for my immune system, but I was already taking them before I started taking this, and I only noticed the major difference in how I felt and how quickly I healed up after I started taking this mushroom extract. Here are the other things I already did on a daily basis for my immune system: Lifeway Kefir (you can find it at grocery stores and it is the best probiotic I have ever found), potato starch (this feeds the good bacteria), oat bran, freshly ground flax seeds, chia seeds, chlorella algae, green tea, dark chocolate, blueberries, tart cherry juice, turmeric, ginger, raw almonds, freshly sprouted seeds, and lots of dark leafy greens like kale, collards, swiss chard, etc.UPDATE: July 15th, 2016 I still take this on a daily basis and it still helps, but I now also take Astaxanthin (12 mg) daily and it seems to work with this and has completely knocked out all the inflamation and gum pain I had. It knocked out the low grade fever entirely. Small sores and minor infections healed up rapidly. So, I say take both medicinal mushrooms and astaxanthin. I also take two other mushroom supplements, and I like them, too.

My 3 year old son has had a chronic cough, asthma, and susceptibility to viral infections for over two years. We have been through so many rounds of antibiotics, daily use of inhalers, nebulizers with steroids and bronchodilators. He coughed nightly with recurrent bouts of pneumonia and always walked around with a runny nose and bags under his eyes. I'm trained in both Eastern and Western medicine. Trust me, I have tried SO many standard and alternative remedies for my little guy...he just did not improve.His doctors finally referred us to a pulmonary specialist at Stanford. While we were waiting for the appointment (3+ months) we started using Host Defense liquid. It has been absolutely incredible! He has not been sick ONCE in six months (surrounded by sick kids at his daycare), his cough stopped immediately, no runny nose, and the bags under his eyes are gone. He is growing and thriving again and it is an absolute blessing!This is how we dose it for him:One dropperfull in a small cup.Add a very small amount of boiling water and let the alcohol evaporate for a minute.Pour in a little bit of honey and stir it until it melts.Add in some cooler water and drink!We do it nightly and he asks for his "honey drink" before bed.When we finally went to the pulmonary specialist, his symptoms had been gone for three months and he was not needing any medication. I almost cancelled the appointment because we didn't need it, but instead I brought in an empty bottle of the mushrooms and told the doctor to recommend it to her other sick kids.Needless to say, my entire family uses it now. The taste isn't that bad. If my 3 year old can drink it, I'm sure most people can find a way to get it into their system.

I added a photo of all of our vitamins for our family of 5. Some are for me, husband and kids. Lots of different vitamins and there’s extras for sick season. We have tried quite a few products since my kiddos started school 5 years ago. Nothing really helped, we were sick more than anyone I know. This is the first year that we’ve finally been able to still have a life in the colder months. When we have gotten sick, it hasn’t been as bad. It could be our immune system’s were finally built up enough. I think this product is the real help though. The school year started off rough until I found this product. Again, I have bought many different immunity products from reading reviews like mine and we still stayed constantly sick. This is the real deal and I absolutely reccomend. I’ll be a repeat customer!

This helped the lymph nodes in my neck go down after they were swollen for a year and a half, but I also think it elevated my heart rate where I started to wonder if I had high blood pressure. It was scary so I stopped it. Maybe I only need some of the mushrooms in here, not all 17. Even though I don't eat too bad and I was getting my water, I'm going to try it again in the future when I know my diet is top tier.I wouldn't recommend this because it scared me on and off for a month, but I'm not saying it's a bad product.
