Mushroom Immunity Ingredients
Our Mushroom Immunity is a formulation of functional mushrooms and Vitamin C + Quercetin, carefully selected to enhance the immune boosting qualities of these fungal defenders.
All of our mushrooms are grown outdoors, under natural light, on organic wood substrates. We perform dual-extractions of fruiting bodies only, with both organic alcohol and water.
Lion’s Mane
Lion’s Mane is most
famous for its benefits
to the brain, but as a
staple of TCM this
mushroom has an
ancient heritage
supporting immune
system and gut
health.
Turkey Tail
If you haven’t seen
Paul Stamets’ TED
talk on Turkey Tail
mushrooms, it is
incredibly moving
and will give you
a taste of the powerful
immunity benefits this
Turkey Tail mushrooms
possess.
Quercetin
Quercetin is a plant
flavanoid found in
abundance in Kale
and other leafy greens.
It contains powerful
benefits for reducing
inflammation and

How Does Mushroom Immunity Work?
Immunity is written into the DNA of mushrooms.
In their natural environment (the forest!) mushrooms act very much like the immune system of the larger forest organism. They detect environmental and pathological threats to the forest and respond accordingly to protect and optimize the health of their ecosystem.
Even as individual organisms, mushrooms have highly evolved immune systems that can ward off viruses, bacteria, pests, and other fungal threats. Humans are built with very similar biological architecture, and by harnessing the biological compounds found within mushrooms we can bolster our own immune function
In Mushroom Immunity we have synergyzed a powerful array of immune boosting mushrooms. These include Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, Turkey Tail, Maitake, and Shiitake, each with powerful and unique benefits for immunity, and stacked these mushroom extracts with a Vitamin C + Quercetin combo designed to optimize immune system health.
How To Use Mushroom Immunity?
Start with 1/2 to 1 dropper full.
It’s best to hold the liquid under your tongue for 2 minutes before swallowing. If you are new to working with herbal tinctures, it can taste quite bitter (bitterness is an indication of potency!).
If its too difficult to hold under your tongue, you can immediately swallow the liquid, or mix a dropper full into a beverage like water or coffee.
Mushroom Immunity is not formulated to produce an immediate effect or altered state. Most people notice the benefits of the tincture begin to appear with consistent use. This includes feeling healthier and less pain, experiencing better digestion, and having more energy and vitality.
How do I incorporate Mushroom Immunity into a microdosing protocol?
Mushroom Immunity is formulated to stack with any of our microdosing formulas, or with a protocol you may already have in place.
Mushroom Immunity can be taken at the same time that you take your microdose, or staggered throughout the day either before or after your microdose.
We encourage you to explore and find a time that works best best for you.
Are your products legal?
Yes! Which is why Kanna is such an excellent candidate to explore the world of microdosing.
All of our formulas and ingredients are 100% legal. Our microdoses are solely made with kanna (sceletium tortuosum) and do not contain any scheduled substances. We will not be able to answer any questions or requests about illicit substances.
Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to supporting you on your microdosing journey!
Are your mushrooms certified organic?
Yes! All of our mushrooms are USDA Certified Organic.
In fact, we work with a collective of growers who have one of the first Organic Mushroom Certifications in the world.
We only work with growers that follow beyond organic and ethical growing practices.
Where do you get your mushrooms?
Our mushrooms come from a collective of farmers in China who have been cultivating medicinal mushrooms for over 5 generations.
There is a lot of stigma around mushrooms grown in China, perhaps rightfully so, but you can find low quality ingredients produced in the USA too!
The reality is that currently the most potent and pure mushroom extracts commercially available come from China, and that’s why we use them.
Our mushrooms are grown far from industrialization, high in the mountains of the Yunnan province in China. Here our mushrooms are grown outdoors, in fresh air, on natural wood substrates (like logs), and tended by real people who have been caring for mushrooms for generations. We use only the mushroom fruiting body to create our dual extracts in our line of formulas.
These growing techniques result in a dramatically healthier and more potent mushroom, when compared to those commercially grown in the USA, in sterile laboratory conditions, under artificial light, on grain substrates (the grain ends up in your supplement too!), and cultivated in mass by heavy machinery.
All of our mushrooms are third party tested and surpass all US standards for heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants.
How are your mushrooms tested?
Every ingredient we use is thoroughly tested by third parties for purity and contaminants, including microbial screening for any bacteria, yeast, and mold; heavy metals; pesticides; as well as testing for purity and active compounds.
Can I take your formulas while on medication?
First, we are not doctors and cannot give medical advice.
If you are on any prescription medications or health protocols, it is very important that you have a conversation with your prescribing physician before taking any of our formulas.
Are your formulas safe when pregnant or breastfeeding?
At this time there is not enough research to say with certainty, so we do not recommend it.
