Patented the name and gets a lot for it 23 dollars for 30.   The other ones are cheep a few pennys each.    From what i read all about 2 to four grams a day will give you a power house liver, Even one gram a day will help any one.  Most people have a fatty liver from eating to much high frucros corn syrup.  It is in lots of foods instead of sugar.  The mushrooms will fight that problem.  This is the only county that uses corn syrup instead of sugar, since the tax on sugar was inplemented 18 years or so ago.  Thats when the new coke came out with corn syrup instead of sugar.  The mimi diet dr. Was on channel 2 talking all about it is the reason for fatty livers.   Its not the wine, that europiens are not getting cancer from .  It is they use sugar in everything not corn syrup.  It take 52 chemicals to take corn and turn it into a sugar.  I saw that on how its make tv show on tv.Go on your computer and type in mushrooms-cancer and start reading. I was. Up at dana farber last week .i asked my cancer dr .  Dr kaufman  he said mushrooms  makes your liver Very active and process things fast.   Mushrooms, in my opinion and i read a lot about  them  will make you liver in to a pacman and eat up bad cells (cancer in the blood ) and other poisions we eat or touch and pass through our skin every day.Europiens dont have fatty livers like us they dont eat corn syrup in ther diets.   Start reading lables even ketchup has it in it .  It has only the last 15 years or so the flood of cancer has hit this country hard.    And that is about when the high fr corn syrup came about  buy over taxing sugar coming in to this county .I am just a coke a holic victim that got a fatty liver that could not handel a few cancer cells.  I drank coke breakfast dinner and supper.   But did not know that the corn syurp was hurting my liver.   I am not a doctor just trying to help other cancer victims like me ,     john de mello Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT I've been taking Host Defense mushrooms, a combination of mushrooms and Liver Support, yet more mushrooms since I was diagnosed in April 2006. I am strong and healthy now. I've had one chemo and radiation which were also critical but I think the mushrooms along with vitamin D, meditation and exercise have helped me fight strong.
