Host Defense® . MyCommunity®

• Promotes the immune system’s natural ability to communicate and react.
• Encourages a healthy and balanced immune response.
• Supports the body’s innate defense and repair systems.
• Scientifically Researched

Our most comprehensive immune support formula, MyCommunity® is often used to promote Year-Round Immune Support. Evidence from third-party, peer-reviewed research suggests that MyCommunity® may support the immune response in healthy individuals.

2021 winner of the Taste for LifeImmunity Essentials Award. Evidence from a peer-reviewed, in vitro, human immune cell and immune cytokine response study suggests that this multi-species mushroom blend, MyCommunity®, promotes complementary effects on the host immune response by:

• Promoting robust up-regulation of immune cell signaling molecules that strongly engaged the immune response
• Assisting in a post-response return to homeostasis within the immune system
• Supports the release of a set of growth factors that regulate cellular tissue in the immune system

The results of the research on the 17-species blend, Host Defense® MyCommunity®, indicated that immune cell signaling molecules were strongly engaged. It was also shown to not only engage responses that support immune-activation but, importantly, to also assist in a post-response return to a balanced state of homeostasis. Furthermore, the multi-species formula of mushroom mycelium triggered the release of a set of growth factors that helps support daily tissue generative activity in the body. Data from this study also documented unique and complementary effects elicited by employing a multi-species blend of mushroom mycelium. The various compounds provided by each different species were shown to work cooperatively and concurrently to engage a wider range of immune cells. The numerous compounds found in the mycelium and the fermented substrate promote a complementary immune response, working together to elicit a stronger and broader response than one set of compounds alone.
