LABO Nutrition Bioactive Organic Yunzhi/Turkey Tail Ultra - 7 Mushroom Extract Supplement, Turkey Tail Cordyceps Maitake Reishi Agaricus blazei Shiitake for Immunity No Fillers Vegan USDA Organic

In case you're confused, Yunzhi is Turkey Tail Mushroom. Studies have shown possible health benefits for immune systems, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cholesterol regulation, general wellness. Of significant note, it contains impressive polysaccharides, Beta-glucans, that boost immune stimulatory and anticarcinogenic activities. That is why mushroom supplements stress the percentage/quantity of these polysaccharides, beta-glucans.Contained with each capsule: 400mg Organic Yunzhi (Turkey Tail) Extract (Trametes versicolor) and 150mg of a Proprietary Blend Mushroom Extract (Agaricus Blazei, Trametes versicolor, Ganoderma lucidum, Grifola frondosa, Lentinula edodes, Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris). It is noteworthy that all the mushroom ingredients are in extract form, which is a concentration of the mushroom (delivering more potency).In terms of the bioactive compounds that offer potential health benefits, this product touts: "More than 60% polysaccharides, more than 20% beta-1,3/1,6-glucans, extremely low levels of (less than 2%) alpha-glucans (a type of polysaccharide with no medicinal properties)."The label displays the USDA Organic badge/seal. This certification affords confidence in the company's attention and concern for the integrity and purity of the Yunzhi/Turkey Tail Mushroom. However, the Proprietary Blend does not mention those mushroom extracts being organic.I am an advocate/fan of mushrooms as a food source and health supplement. I consume various mushrooms in bulk powder form and as capsule supplements. I am very impressed with the quality and nature of the ingredients. I feel this is an excellent Turkey Tail Mushroom Extract supplement, with a bonus blend of 7 additional mushroom extracts. As such, I feel this supplement merits a 4.5 - 4.75 star rating, with a high level recommendation.

I have taken it for a month with a combination of mushroom mix from Ancient Nutrition. Not sure which one works better but together I get good results with no side effects. I just wish the price was a little cheaper

I think this is an excellent blend of very healthful mushrooms - Turkey Tail & 7-mushroom extracts (Agaricus blazei, Trametes versicolor - Yunzhi, Ganoderma lucidum - Lingzhi, Grifola frondose, Lentinula edodes, Cordyceps sinensis and Corydceps militaris. If it contained some Chaga mushroom it would be absolutely perfect. I buy Chaga mushroom powder because it is such a potent anti-viral and is probably the best medicinal/healthful mushroom there is. That said, this is still an excellent combination of mushroom powders, though I think it's a bit pricey (as of this review a bottle of 90 capsules costs $34.95).

In this formula, LABO has put together a formula worthy of Paul Stamets. The lions share of the formula is Turkey Tail, a mushroom known to support the immune system. In one study, Turkey Tail was found to significantly raise the white blood cell count in women who were undergoing chemotherapy. It is also considered to be protective against cancer. This formula also contains shiitake, Lingzhi, two types of cordyceps, Maitake, and Agaricus blazei Murill, a Brazilian mushroom which in one study was found to shrink tumors, lower inflammation and also support the immune system.In fact, all of these mushrooms support the immune system and lower inflammation in the body. I have taken some of the Stamets formulas over the years and I truly believe this formula rivals the quality of his products at a somewhat lower price. Since two caps are the family dosage, it’s not cheap - this is after all, a 45 day supply. Still, for under $1 a day you are getting a powerful mushroom support formula, full of beta glucans and polysaccharides. Your immune system will thank you.

These Bioactive Organic Yunzhi/Turkey Tail Extract capsules from Labo Nutrition are decent for the price. The bottle arrived to me packed inside a cardboard box. The box is full of information about the Yunzhi/Turkey Tail extract in the capsules, and the other smaller amounts of mushrooms included in the capsules. The bottle also contains a lot of the same information on the label, however the box is a bit more detailed. There are 90 capsules per bottle, and the suggested serving is 2 capsules. Each 2 capsule serving contains 800mg of Yunzhi Extract, which is standardized to 60% Polysaccharides, 20% Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucans, and less than 2% of Alpha-Glucans. Alpha-Glucans is described as being a type of polysaccharide with no known medicinal properties.Besides each 2 capsule serving having 800mg of Yunzhi/Turkey Tail extract, there is also 300mg of a, “Proprietary Blend Mushroom Extract” that contains extracts of various other mushrooms. The capsules are easy to swallow, lots of information on the package and the website, I have no complaints.

This LABO Nutrition Bioactive Organic Yunzhi/Turkey Tail supplement works well for me, and I love that it's organic and easy to take. I don't experience any digestive issues with it, nor do I experience nasty "vitamin burps" with them (I can always tell if something is lower quality from that - blech!). I love this particular blend, as it combines all the different kinds of beneficial mushrooms I've been trying to piecemeal together to take on a daily basis for extra immune support - so I'm really happy with it. No complaints here - it gets two thumbs up from me!

This is one of those supplements that it is hard to tell if they are working. But that doesn't mean they aren't either. They are reasonably priced for 45 day supply. Easy to swallow capsules with no aftertaste or nasty burps. When you have a compromised immune system, like me, I want to assume all the healthy supplements that I can that target immunity. I like the combination of mushrooms they use. I don't normally eat mushrooms because a family member is allergic, so this is a great way to get mine.
