Fungi Perfecti, LLC, the makers of Host Defense Mushrooms, has introduced a new formulation of their Elderberry Plus Syrup, now including the mushroom Agarikon. This product, part of the Host Defense line, combines the immune-supporting properties of mushroom mycelium with Elderberry. The syrup previously contained Turkey Tail, Chaga, and Reishi mushrooms, but the addition of Agarikon reflects emerging research on its potential to support an engaged immune response.
Betsy Bullman, Director of Sales and Marketing at Fungi Perfecti, highlighted the popularity of Elderberry Plus Syrup among customers, noting its unique combination of mushroom mycelium and two forms of Black Elderberry: fruit juice concentrate and fruit extract powder. The syrup is marketed as both a flavorful and functional product, which can be taken on its own or added to various foods and beverages, including drinks, smoothies, and even desserts.
Elderberry Plus Syrup is available for purchase through the Host Defense and Fungi Perfecti websites, as well as at health food stores nationwide. The syrup is made from certified organic mushroom mycelium that is sustainably grown on the company’s farm in Washington state. The product is also vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and third-party tested for quality and safety.
