What CanPrev Multi-Mushroom Full Spectrum is licensed for

Provides antioxidants that help protect cells against the oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
What is in each capsule
The seven mushrooms are chaga, cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris), lion's mane, maitake, reishi, shiitake and turkey tail. Each one appears twice, as 50 mg of fruiting body extract and 20 mg of cultured mycelia, so every mushroom contributes 70 mg and the capsule totals 490 mg.
The fruiting body is the cap and stem you would recognize as a mushroom. The mycelium is the network of fine threads it grows from. Six of the fruiting body extracts are 8:1 concentrates, each equal to 400 mg of dried mushroom, and maitake is 4:1, equal to 200 mg. Maitake, shiitake and turkey tail are hot water extracts, while chaga, cordyceps, lion's mane and reishi are extracted in hot water and alcohol.
The capsule is hypromellose with acacia gum and magnesium stearate. CanPrev lists it as vegan and GMO free, with no gluten, wheat, dairy, soy, yeast, sugar, animal products or artificial colours, flavours and preservatives.
How it compares
CanPrev's Full Spectrum line also includes single-species capsules such as Lion's Mane Full Spectrum. Multi-Mushroom is the one that puts seven species in a single capsule, so there is no need to buy them separately.
