SMALL POUCH - BIG PUNCH: 5 Defenders uses highly concentrated extracts between 8:1 and 15:1 ratios, meaning our 1.59oz pouch is equivalent to 14.9oz of mushrooms. These extracts are made exclusively from 100% organic reishi, chaga, maitake, shiitake and turkey tail mushrooms. Hot water and alcohol extractions are used to obtain the beneficial beta-glucans and triterpenes, plus thousands of other nutrients from the mushrooms. These mushrooms are the most well known for boosting your immunity.

WHY EXTRACTS: The bulk of medicinal mushroom research and traditional use is based on extracts from the fruiting body (mushroom). Extraction breaks down the mushroom cell wall to allow our bodies to access these beneficial compounds. Without extraction, our bodies will not obtain as much of the benefits from medicinal mushrooms. Real Mushrooms strictly uses extracts to be consistent with the research so you can be confident in obtaining the benefits of medicinal mushrooms.
