MycoPhyto® uses a novel approach to medicinal mushrooms. The formula includes six potent varieties of mushrooms that are organically grown on a proprietary matrix of immune supporting herbs and organic rice. The herbs are assimilated into the mushroom mycelium and biologically modified during the mushroom's growth cycle. These herbs have a wide variety of known activity including immune enhancement and anti-viral properties. Clinical observations suggest that when used as a food source for the mushrooms, these herbs can greatly increase the activity of the various mushrooms. The six highly researched medicinal mushrooms used in this unique formula are: Coriolus, Reishi, Maitake, Agaricus, Cordyceps, and Polyporus.

There are over 200 species of mushrooms that have been found to markedly inhibit the growth of various pathogens. Recently, scientists in the US have begun studying specific mushrooms as potential factories for the production of naturally occurring pharmaceuticals. Several fungi growing on Pacific Yew trees were found to produce a Taxol-like substance independently of the Yew tree itself. Taxol is an important chemotherapeutic agent. The production of Taxol-like compounds from mushrooms is a prime example of the potential benefits of growing mushrooms on botanical sources in order to develop enhanced nutraceutical compounds. This novel approach is used in the creation of MycoPhyto® Complex.
