MushroomScience Immune Builder Mushroom Capsules, Full Spectrum Extract with MaitakeGold, Reishi & Shiitake, Mushroom Supplement for Adults, Hot Water Extracted Mushrooms, Vegetarian, 400MG, 90 CT

I have purchased this product many times from another website. It helps me a great deal with Fibromyalgia fog. It is very effective for me. The product helps clear the brain fog, and makes it easier, for me, to focus.

Great for energy

UPDATE 7/5/17: I came back to Amazon to reorder but product now "unavailable". Wonderful. Now what? My ND loved this when she saw all the new supplements I'd ordered & I've been well so there's no way to know if this is doing any good, but my feeling is why not? I've heard only good things about what's in this product so will try to find them elsewhere now..Original review when 1st taking them: Kind of hard to review a product you've only been taking for a few weeks...I did a lot of research and this company came up as a good one which is very important to me. How does one review such a product anyway? I take one in am and one in pm. To further support my immune system, at age 65, I also take 1000 mg of ascorbic acid (Vit C) in the am & pm. I take that in capsule form that has no fillers, and I drink 90 oz of water daily with the juice of one lemon in it. (putting fresh lemon juice in filtered water is very healthy for your liver & kidneys and quantity counts. An ND told me to drink half my body weight, in ounces, daily which I was already doing. Your bladder truly does adjust but it's also good to keep flushing out your liver & kidneys via water consumption!)

The features and benefits of Lions Mane are well described on the internet. If you're buying this that's not your interest. Odds are that you want to know if this is a real, and effective lion's mane supplement.Compared to Double Wood Supplements it is. I noticed no difference in effectiveness (the effects of LM are subjective). MG for MG, it's cheaper. That said alternatives exist that are even cheaper.Lions mane itself is quite cheap to grow and there is plenty of room from a margin at this price. So, I do think that this is a quality product.I recommend it. I would place it next to the highest quality lion's mane supplements on Amazon.

Instead of repeating what others say, I would recommend opening 3 capsules and dumping them in water. It tastes a bit like a burnt vanilla drink is A OK. Even sort of nice. But if you're anything like me, it'll make you feel incredible when taken in this way.For some reason, I feel it a lot more when added to water and use it as a drink, than when I merely swallow the capsules.In general, all Mushroom Science products are superior to the un-extracted junk from Host Defense. At least for me, and when tried on my closest friends and family.I can't feel most of the Host Defense stuff at all (except for their "My Community" product which may do a little bit of something), even if I use the water trick. I think it's because Host Defense is just giving you a tiny chunk of the mushroom's mycellium (the stuff the actual mushrooms grow from, which kinda like eating the dirt and roots of broccoli instead of the broccoli stalks and florets), instead of taking the full mushrooms and extracting them in some way. Maybe if I took a whole bottle of a Host Defense product, I'd feel SOMETHING, but it'd be an expensive test.The way Mushroom Science does it is how they do it in all of the successful studies on mushrooms, I know that from what I've read over the years. You can check these studies yourself on the government's website called PubMed. (just google for it, it's a great service!)The studies that end up showing that mushrooms "don't work" use tiny bits of mycelium or mushroom plain, like the Host Defense brand does. The ones that work well use a lot of mushrooms and do extractions to make the medicinal parts bioavailable. Mostly hot water extractions, which is what Mushroom Science does. Then there are specialized exractions, sometimes solvent based, that some of the Japanese companies do. Some of those pass muster of studies, as well.Non-extracted mushrooms only seem like good sources of food.I feel very grateful to Mushroom Science, actually, because I never believed much in mushrooms as medicine before they came to the scene. Both their Chaga and Reishi extracts help me live a much higher quality of life by helping with energy issues and normal daily stressors. And their combination "Immune Builder", did help a friend of mine who had leukemia lead a much less stressful and painful life.

Love it

This is the only company I buy mushroom extracts from. If you do you own research - ask the company you are buying your mushrooms from - are they an extract? Can they quantify the active ingredients? I really did not understand this when I was spending money on other mushroom products. A lot of them just grind up the mushrooms. I spend a lot of money on mushroom products before I ran into this company at a trade show and the guy at the table explained it to me. I really was turned off by his arrogance and he was very impatient with my lack of knowledge but at least I learned about why this product is good. I came by the booth later and met the owner and he was more friendly than his main sales guy at the booth. He even gave me some free samples when I was trying to buy from him - anyway - the immune builder is the best product they have and I just buy this one because it covers the bases I am looking for. I take it with D-Lenolate and Pau-Darco tea - this is the best combo for immune.

I ordered this based on the photo and the description, and received a similar, but different product. The listing stated 600 mg Super Coriolus, and I received 500 mg Turkey Tail. While they are *almost* the same, it is not what I ordered. I use this product for fighting cancer so I am incredibly cautious about the product.With this said, I give this 5 stars because the customer service was extraordinary. I immediately contacted them, and a human wrote me right back! They were sympathetic and understanding and asked how they could remedy the situation. I offered a reasonable fix, and they did that and more. This is so unusual and online, I don't see much of that kind of quality, and caring customer service. I love the Mushroom Science product and believe it to be one the absolute best on the market, and this seller is top notch!
