Heading into cold and flu season, many health-conscious individuals turn to elderberry syrup to bolster their immune systems and in preparation for fall, Host Defense Mushrooms introduced a new formulation for its Elderberry Plus Syrup powered by mushroom mycelium.
Previously, the formula included just three mushroom species (turkey tail, chaga and reishi) and the new and improved version incorporates agarikon. New research on the immune support benefits of this mushroom prompted the development of this new formula with agarikon described as "a mushroom well-known for supporting a strongly engaged immune response."
Elderberry Plus Syrup is great-tasting enough to be taken on its own or it can be added to drinks, smoothies, overnight oats or even drizzled over ice cream as a different way to enjoy its benefits every day.
