Among the great functional mushrooms, Maitake — also called the “Hen of the Woods” — stands out for its deep, nourishing benefits.Now available at Smoke Station – Premium Bud Bar, Host Defense Maitake offers science-backed immune and metabolic support for anyone looking to strengthen their foundation of wellness.


🧬 The Power of Maitake Mushrooms

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) has been studied for its rich beta-glucan content — complex polysaccharides known to help the body regulate immune response and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.It’s not a stimulant or sedative — it’s a balancer. That’s why it’s used by those seeking daily wellness, steady energy, and long-term resilience.

Key potential benefits include:

  • Supporting a healthy immune system response

  • Promoting balanced blood sugar and metabolism

  • Encouraging cellular vitality and overall well-being


🍄 Why Host Defense Maitake Stands Apart

Created by pioneering mycologist Paul Stamets, Host Defense Maitake is grown on organic brown rice in the U.S. using both fruiting body and mycelium — the full mushroom life cycle for complete benefits.Each capsule delivers whole-mushroom synergy, ensuring that no active compounds are lost in the process.

Host Defense’s commitment to purity and research makes their Maitake formula one of the most trusted natural immune supports available.
