Host Defense® Introduces MycoBenefits™: A New Line of Mushroom Mycelium Supplements

OLYMPIA, Wash., March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Industry leader Fungi Perfecti, LLC - makers of Host Defense® Mushrooms™ – is redefining mushroom mycelium-powered supplements with the launch of new MycoBenefits™. While still rooted in mushroom mycelium as its foundation, each MycoBenefits™ formula expands benefits by blending well-known herbs, vitamins, and minerals to address common wellness needs.*

This line follows the success of the well-received BrainPower Stack®, which paired Lion's Mane— "The Smart Mushroom"—with complementary B vitamins for cognitive support. MycoBenefits™ takes this approach even further by delivering highly targeted support in four distinct formulas—Focus*, Mood*, Sleep*, and Beauty. Each of these formulas is capsule-based and made for modern wellness seekers who are looking for a convenient addition to their supplement routine.* 

MycoBenefits™ Focus*: is designed to support cognitive function, attentiveness, and mental stamina. Featuring Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, and brain-supporting compounds like L-Taurine, B vitamins, and choline.*

MycoBenefits™ Sleep*: is formulated to support sleep latency—the time it takes to fall asleep—and promote more restful, sustained sleep throughout the night. This formula features Reishi, Lion's Mane, GABA, vitamin B6, magnesium bis-glycinate, passionflower, and L-Theanine.*

MycoBenefits™ Mood*: is designed to support a calm and relaxed mind and body, promote emotional balance, and enhance stress adaptation. It includes Reishi, Lion's Mane, ashwagandha, holy basil, 5-HTP, and L-Theanine.*

MycoBenefits™ Beauty: is formulated to promote healthy hair, skin, and nails by supporting skin hydration, antioxidant activity, and cellular nourishment. This formula features Enoki, Chaga, Reishi, hyaluronic acid, biotin, bamboo silica, and an antioxidant fruit blend.*

Regarding the launch of MycoBenefits™, Betsy Bullman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing said:

"Our customers have been asking for multi-ingredient products to support their wellness needs.
