I don't know if this is helping my lungs or not yet, I got it because I vape. But there are multiple broken capsules in my container which not only means I didn't get the amount I should have but I also have all the pills covered in the herbs which is annoying.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020
    Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    I'm thank for for Mr. Stamets in sharing his knowledge with the world. This is a great product which easily shows how it helps the immune system with one dose. Recently my very sick pug I was manually feeding her and her tooth got my finger. It very quickly started swelling up from infection. I took one pill and the infection went away with-in a day. My flatmate also had a cut on her finger which was infected and I gave her four pills which she noticed took care of the infection but then after she went through the pills it started coming back a little. Her body ended up slowly healing it. So I have personal experience in seeing how Agarikon helps the immune system! I love it!
    First noticed Paul talking about Agarikon on the Joe Rogan Podcast and how it was reviewed by the government, without them knowing what it was, just a number assigned to the sample. It went through the roof with all the positive properties. I am 100% sold on this product and love it!
    But don't believe me.. do your own research!

    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2023
    Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    I did NOT buy this Agarikon for asthma... but after taking it for a week or so I noticed deep, deep, mucus in my lungs start to break up. Mind you, I am not sick (that I know of). I feel like I hav ben able to breath better which has been a suprising side effect. Paul Stamets, get some Asthma or Lung research going on this Fungi!
    Also, I have noticed my head is clearer as well. I am guessing Agarikon is just one of those super poweful mushrooms that has many undescovered benefits similar to the rest of the amazing Fungi Host Defense has.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2021
    Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    I don't usually go for products that could improve your health.
    However, a friend recommended Host Defense products to me because of fighting some type of virus two years. This virus was very stubborn and no matter what I tried nothing worked. Keep on mind that I had been fighting the virus for approximately three weeks.
    After using Host Defense products for a week my symptoms were gone. Since that time I have been using Host Defense for two years and have not been sick from anything and for me that is amazing.
    I highly recommend Host Defense products to anyone. I only hope that they work for you as they are working for me.

    I was sluggish for a day or two after covid and was recommended this by a few friends for recovery. Started taking it and the next day I went for a brisk walk and had tons of energy. That was a 180 turn from the day before when I felt so unmotivated and tired and out of breath. The walk felt like nothing even happened and I wasn’t bed ridden for days with covid just a few days before! Please get this. I’ve only heard amazing things and I totally vouch for it.
