Question 1

how does tincture compare to powder

Accepted Answer

1 capsule = 500 mg; 1 dropper full of tincture=500 mg; there is 2 differences.  The capsule is precise measurement, the dropper is hard to get full.  The tincture is easier for me, as I don't like to swallow pill, I can drop the tincture into my ice tea and down it goes.

Question 2

Does this product use dual extraction: hot water and alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Host Defense extracts utilize Paul Stamets’ comprehensive Double and Triple Extraction Methods:

1. Hot Water
Certified organic fruitbodies of Reishi, Maitake, Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane and Shiitake are hot-water extracted to pull out polysaccharides (e.g. beta-glucans, glycoproteins, and other high-molecular weight compounds).

2. Ethanol
Mycelium and fruitbodies are extracted with certified organic ethanol, which isolates antioxidants (e.g. terpenes, triterpenoids, inositols, ergosterols, sterols and myco-flavonoids).

3. Cold Water
Pure, filtered water is used to extract extracellular metabolites from the living mycelium within the temperature range at which the fungi’s native immune systems are most active.

Question 3

How many dropperfulls do we need to make 3000 mg?

Accepted Answer

Can't imagine why this good brand has customers guessing. On their website they indicate that two capsules is equivalent to one dropper which equals 500 mg -but we still have no idea of the mg of ACTIVE INGREDIENT per ml: "Daily serving suggestions are basically equivalent; 2 capsules or 1 gram per day or 2mL at 1 ml twice per day". Since there is a typo (instead of to) we can't be sure if 1 ml contains 500mg or 1,000mg. I am guessing one dropper is 500 mg?

Question 4

Just received the liquid. Taste horrible. Any suggestions? Know it is a very good supplement.

Accepted Answer

Yes good natural medicine tastes terrible (no wonder so many people consume junk food). Pour the extract in hot water (not boiling) and wait for the alocohol to evaporate for a few seconds. You may add raw honey if taste is still too bad for you
