Whats the benefit of colonized brown rice vs pure fruiting bodies as a supplement?

[@HostDefense]

There are numerous research articles published in scientific literature demonstrating the health-supporting value of mushroom mycelium grown on substrates such as organic brown rice, including a 2019 NIH funded study confirming the immunologically-supportive activity of Host Defense® Turkey Tail capsules. Independently collected data confirms that BOTH the mushroom mycelium and the fermented substrate used to grow our mycelium are both immunologically active.* For more information, check out the Mycelium Explained article by clicking on the Learning tab on our site.
