Polypore Mushroom Hydrosol: Steam distilled Wild Harvested Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) and Red Belted (Fomitopsis pinicola) mushrooms.

A dual extraction process of tincturing the mushrooms in alcohol is used to extract the non-water-soluble medicinal properties of the mushrooms after they have been through the distillation process. The hydrosol and tincture combined creates a full spectrum product. The Polypore Hydrosol is available with or without the alcohol tincture for those with alcohol sensitivities.

Dosage for daily immune support: Take 2 tsp. first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Dosage for addressing cancers: Take up to 1 tbsp. three times daily.

Here's how the Polypore mushrooms work in your body on a cellular level.

Polypore mushrooms contain the Beta 1, 3d Glucan molecule (polysaccharides) which has been scientifically studied for immune-boosting abilities and has been proven to have immune system enhancement properties, which may have dramatic impact on every organ, and disease fighting system found in the body. Polypore’s Beta 1, 3d glucan is a scientifically proven biological defense modifier with supreme non-specific immune system activation properties. These are natural molecules which have the amazing ability to pass through the digestive system to the small intestine undigested and are transported by macrophages, the body’s immune system warriors, throughout the body. Beta 1, 3d glucan is exactly the proper size and shape to fit a receptor on the macrophage like a key in a lock. When this lock is opened, the macrophage immediately goes into a “search and destroy” mode, seeks out the ‘not me’ or invading cells, bacteria and viruses and consumes them. There have been many studies from well known Universities (Harvard, Tulane, Louisville) demonstrating the immune-enhancing effects of Beta 1, 3d glucan.

In addition to the immune system related effects, beta glucans have been noted to assist the body in lowering cholesterol levels, promoting rapid wound healing, protecting against radiation exposure, and inhibiting viral and microbiological infections. People who have impaired immunity from many causes including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic stress, or persistent viral infections can take beta glucan to heighten their defenses. Those who suffer from chronic degenerative disorders, i.e. diabetes mellitus or chronic inflammation may also benefit from beta glucan’s immune enhancement. Those habitually exposed to environmental pollutants, UV radiation, and other toxins could benefit from the antioxidant effects and potent free-radical scavenger effects.

No contraindications have been reported regarding combining beta glucan with chemotherapy or radiation therapy, or other medical regimens. However, as an immune system booster it can make some medications even more potent and therefore your medical professional should be notified that you are taking it.

Red Belted Polypores, as well as Inonotus obliquus (Chaga), Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi), and Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail) polypore mushrooms have been shown through extensive scientific studies and testing to provide the following health benefits:

Health Benefits

· Used as a tonic to reduce inflammation of digestive tract

· Anti-cancer: according to extensive peer reviewed studies, Polypore mushrooms cause a systemic immune cascade that attacks and kills cancer cells; a powerful anti-oxidant that prevents free radical damage to cells; increased resistance to cancers and tumor reduction may also be due to the high percentage of Germanium compounds found in the fungus; Germanium is known through extensive scientific studies to be an anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-mutagenic and oxygen catalyst as well as an effective semi-conductor or electron transferring material which enhances the oxygen supply to the body’s cell’s providing increased energy production; Germanium makes it so that every breath you take makes the oxygen in our bodies 200 times more available to the cells; Tiaga also contains the following anti-tumor glucanoids known to inhibit tumors/cancer:

*Beta D glucan

*Glucurono beta D glucan

*Arabininoxylo beta D glucan

*Xylo beta D glucan

*Manno beta D glucan

*Xylomanno beta D glucan

· Blood sugar regulation: normalization and regulation of insulin production due to the action of hypoglycemic glycans and protioglycans

· Pancreatic disease recovery and liver detoxifier: increases liver function by aiding in the removal of toxins from the liver and intestines due to the action of bitter terpenoids

· Anti-hypertensive; lowers blood pressure due to the action of ganoderic and fomeric acids that are reported to inhibit hypertensive related antiotenin-1 converting enzymes

· Immune system modulation

· Anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-mutagenic, anti-fungal, anti-microbial: it has been noted through many clinical observations that within a day of ingesting Red Belted Polypores, the body begins to produce massive numbers of neutrophils and other white blood cells (up to 4000%) which seek out infection in the body; this increases the survival rate for those with any type of infections, including cancers, viruses, bacterial and fungal infections; stimulates the production of interferon levels up to 2000% within 20 hours of ingestion.

· Tissue restorative and regenerator.

· Anti-inflammatory: contains natural steroids found in therapeutic quantities which are useful in the treatment of arthritis and painful autoimmune and inflammatory diseases

· Polypores were used by the Cree Indians as a styptic to stop bleeding

· Prevents hardening of the arteries

· Protects the heart muscle

· Anti-depressant; gives a sense of well being

· Anti-Parkinson; Anti-Alzheimer and other forms of dementia

· Prevents gum disease and tooth decay

· Lowers fevers

· Prevents glaucoma and cataracts (free radical damage)

· Pansystemic: a synergistic effect on the whole body; helps in total body health

· Energy booster and anti-fatigue agent

· Anti-aging benefits

· Weight loss supplement that helps prevent obesity

· Anti-lipidemic; lowers blood fat levels

· Lowers blood cholesterol levels

Fiona’s Forest brews a strong tea from Red Belted, Chaga, Reishi and Turkey Tail Polypore mushrooms, which is then distilled into a concentrated hydrosol. A small dose of this highly bio-available hydrosol is all that is necessary for daily immune system support. It is very important to consume a minimum of 2000 mg of Vitamin C while taking this hydrosol, as these mushrooms are known to utilize significant quantities of vitamin C during ingestion. You can supplement your vitamin C with Fiona’s Forest’s Calcium/Magnesium/Vitamin Tincture and Horsetail/Nettle Capsules.
