This unique blend helps to maintain healthy defense reactions.

Caterpillar fungus (Cordyceps sinensis), is a fungus from the Tibetan Plateau, also known as yartsa gunbu. The caterpillar fungus is particularly valued by experts in Chinese medicine, who classify it as one of the four most important substances and call it “the magic herb of Tibet.”

Hen-of-the-wood (Grifola frondosa), is typically known as the maitake mushroom, which is also particularly valued in Chinese medicine. It can be found growing on trunks of Japanese and North American trees.
