ANTIOXIDANT | PRO T CELL AND NK CELL ACTIVITY | PROMOTES ORGAN HEALTH

Immunity Blend tincture is made from fruiting bodies, instead of mycelium, for maximum health benefits. North Spore uses Chaga and Reishi mushrooms foraged from the woods of Maine.

The Immunity Blend tincture consists of the following four mushrooms, all with immune system boosting qualities; Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), Reishi (ganoderma tsugae), Shiitake (lentinula edodes), and Hen of the Woods (grifola frondosa). The tincture is high in antioxidants (Chaga), stimulates T cell and NK cell activity (Reishi and Hen of the Woods), and promotes major organ health (Shiitake) (Babitskaya et al., 2002; Gao, 2004; Marley, 2009). In one study, mice given a combination of Shiitake, Hen of the Woods, and Reishi extracts demonstrated increased Natural Killer cell and macrophage activity (Yin et al., 2007).  These two cell types are essential to immune system function. 

Tinctures are meant to be used as a dietary supplement and taken 1-3 times daily or as needed. North Spore mushroom tincture is extracted using a double extraction technique that involves a month long alcohol soak followed by a hot water decoction for optimal extraction of both alcohol and water soluble constituents. You can take tinctures directly from the bottle or add it to tea, coffee, juice, or water.
