Thorne Myco-Immune is a dietary supplement that contains a blend of water-alcoholic extracts from six different medicinal fungi. The preparation is available in liquid form. The bottle is equipped with a dropper that makes dosing much easier.
What are medicinal fungi?
Fungi, like plants, are a valuable raw material and are a rich source of various bioactive substances, among which proteoglycans and polysaccharides deserve the most attention. Some species of fungi are referred to as medical or medicinal fungi, which suggests that they have some specific health benefits for the human body. There is even a special medical field called mycotherapy, which is an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and means nothing more than treatment with the use of fungi.
Why extract and not powdered fungi?
There are dietary supplements on the market containing powdered mushrooms or ready-made extracts. Specialists suggest that the optimal method of processing mushrooms is extraction because it allows extracting the maximum amount of active compounds from them. Some of those compounds are insoluble in water, hence there is a need for including alcohol in the extraction solution. It should also be noted that scientific research regarding medicinal fungi uses extracts, not powdered mushrooms.
What properties does the presented supplement have?
The presented supplement contains an extract from six different fungi, classified as medical fungi. These include very popular mushrooms such as cordyceps, Reishi, or shiitake, as well as less popular ones - the Japanese mushroom Maitake, Turkey Tail Mushroom and Schizophyllum commune.
Research suggests that medicinal fungi (such as cordyceps, Reishi, shiitake, Maitake) can contribute to the maintenance of optimal immune system functions, among others thanks to the high content of antioxidants. Moreover, they are assigned with adaptogenic properties, which means that they can contribute to maintaining the body's homeostasis in unfavourable conditions, e.g. during periods of increased stress exposure.
In conclusion, Thorne Myco-Immune is a dietary supplement that should be of particular interest to people who want to support their immune system naturally.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), also known as Ling Zhi and “mushroom of immortality”, is a fungus used for more than 4000 years in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine. Previous studies indicate a significant impact of this mushroom, especially on boosting immunity, reducing stress and preventing carcinogenesis processes.
The action of reishi is targeted on the modulation of the immune system. It has been shown that it has the ability to curb the activity of this system in the case of its excessive stimulation and increase it in the event of immunodeficiency. What is more, reishi has a positive impact on carbohydrate balance (may reduce blood glucose levels), optimises the lipid profile and promotes healthy neurological function (exerts a sedative effect and reduces mental strain).
Therapeutic effects of the fungus are produced by more than one main component. It is believed that a range of substances is responsible for its action, mainly polysaccharides, peptidoglycans and triterpenoids.
