5 Defenders® Organic Mushroom Blend is a five-mushroom extract capsule from Real Mushrooms, combining Organic Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor), Organic Maitake (Grifola frondosa), Organic Reishi (Ganoderma lingzhi), Organic Shiitake (Lentinula edodes), and Organic Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) in a single serving of two capsules delivering 1,000 mg of the 5 Defenders® extract blend and 180 mg of Beta-(1,3)(1,6)-glucans.
Each mushroom is sourced exclusively from the fruiting body — not mycelium or grain substrate — and processed via hot water extraction to yield a full spectrum of bioactive compounds, including beta-glucans and polysaccharides. Every batch is lab-verified for beta-glucan content and tested for the absence of starch and alpha-glucans from grain.
All five extracts are USDA Certified Organic and are supplied by Nammex, a leading supplier of organic mushroom extracts with over 40 years of mushroom growing experience. Mushrooms are organically grown or wildcrafted in geo-authentic mountain environments, following Di Dao (地道) cultivation practices that honor the traditional geographic origins of each species. Ingredients are tested twice for heavy metals, agricultural chemicals, and microbial contamination. The product carries Purity-IQ™ Authenticity Certification, verified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to confirm correct mushroom species and the absence of adulterants.
The formula is manufactured in a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)-compliant facility. Capsules are made from hypromellose (vegetable capsule), making the product vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO. The blend contains no grains, starches, or fillers. Real Mushrooms has been rated the #1 Mushroom Supplement Brand by consumers in the ConsumerLab.com Annual Supplement Survey, five years running.
5 Defenders® is designed for adults seeking daily wellness support or long-term immune health maintenance. Real Mushrooms recommends it as a foundational product and a natural complement to single-mushroom supplements such as Lion's Mane or Cordyceps for those building a broader daily routine.
