Superman Herbs

Powerful Blend of 7 Medicinal Mushrooms
for General Health and Immune Support

We’re looking to source various medicinal mushrooms to offer under the Superman Herbs brand in the future. But you have to be careful when it comes to quality and getting the right stuff so we’re still working on that as well as other herbs and formulas…

Since medicinal mushrooms are some of the most powerful of herbs out there, we didn’t want to delay in making them available to you. We decided to offer a great blend of mushrooms from one of the best companies out there, and the foremost mycological expert in the world!

Stamets 7

Host Defense Stamets 7® – 60 Capsules – $37.95

Paul Stamets designed this blend of seven mushrooms specifically to support the immune system. It’s a great general tonic for maintaining peak performance and health.

Inside each capsule is activated, freeze-dried, USA grown, non-GMO, Certified Organic mycelium, with a full spectrum of constituents: polysaccharides (beta glucans, arabinoxylane, glucose, xylose, galactose and cordycepic acid), glycoproteins, ergosterols, triterpenoids and other myco-nutrients. What do these do for you?

• Daily overall immune support
• Promotes respiratory, digestive, circulatory, cellular, lymphatic and systemic functions .
• Stamets 7® can increase Natural Killer Cells by more than 300%
• Enhances natural blood-sugar modulation
• Supports the body in adapting to physical, mental, and environmental stress factors

Why a blend instead of one mushroom? Research has shown that the various medicinal mushrooms work synergistically for greater support of the immune system (with dual-direction activity meaning it helps boost when needed and suppress immune function in the case of allergies or auto-immune disorders).

Each 2 capsule serving contains 143 milligrams of mycelium of each of the following medicinal mushrooms:

1. Royal Sun Blazei (Agaricus brasiliensis)
2. Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis s.l)
3. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum s.l.)
4. Maitake (Grifola frondosa)
5. Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
6. Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)
7. Mesima (Phellinus linteus)

Thus each serving contains a total of 1000 mg of the highest quality mushroom mycelium. Each bottle contains 60 capsules and is a one month supply at this dosage.

Medicinal Mushroom Hunting and Cancer

Medicinal mushrooms are some of the strongest “medicine” out there. Yet unlike drugs many of them have dual direction activity that can boost or decrease your immune system as needed. In addition, there are many other benefits besides helping immunity.

A few years back at the Longevity Conference the keynote speaker was Paul Stamets. Paul is the world’s foremost mycological expert. From the stage he spoke of the benefits of mushrooms, not just in how they can help us individually, but also to help heal the world.

He also wore a cap made from Fomes fomentarius, also known as the Ice Man Fungus, which can be pounded down into a felt like material. How cool is that? I would wear one!

Stamets told a personal story about his mother who had gone through cancer. This was only a few months after I and my brothers lost our mother to breast cancer. The difference was Stamets knew the power of the mushrooms.

Several of them are well-research for their cancer fighting properties. One of them he talked about is Turkey Tail, Trametes versicolor and how he gave this and other mushrooms in high doses to his mother. The difference was that she survived!

I shed a tear or two during his speech. Although it was too late for my own mother, at least I would have this knowledge to help others for the rest of my life.

If I was diagnosed with cancer the very first thing I would do is to start taking tons of medicinal mushrooms each and every day.

When I returned home from that conference I went on a hike with the purpose of finding mushrooms within the local forested area.

You often have to go off the beaten path to find what you’re looking for…

An important thing I had learned was that you MUST be very CAREFUL when it comes to mushrooms that grow on the ground. Some of these are poisonous and even deadly. And it can be tough to figure out the difference.

But when it comes to mushrooms grown on trees its much simpler. First of all, the majority of medicinal mushrooms are those found growing on living or dead trees. There are some medicinal mushrooms found growing on the ground like Agaricus blazei, but that is the exception not the rule.

Secondly, there is only one poisonous tree mushroom, the Jack o’ Lantern. This one is easy to spot because it glows in the dark!

Thus mushroom hunting can be done safely if you know this little bit of knowledge. Still it is best to do additional research to be extra safe.

On my first trip mushroom hunting, I located about 7 or 8 different varieties. I searched online but couldn’t identify any of them…except one.

What was growing just a couple of miles from where I lived? Turkey Tail!

Turkey Tail is on the right. A couple unidentified tree mushrooms on the left.

Just recently I went hunting mushrooms again looking specifically for this one again. The picture above shows what I found on this trip.

An interesting thing to note is that the brown mushroom on the left had just released its spores as it and the surrounding area where I had found it where covered in a brown chalky substance.

I threw these mushrooms into a tea which I drank the following couple of days.

I also created a tincture which is still sitting in my closet which I will have for later.

Now I realize that not everyone can nor will go mushroom hunting. But you don’t have to to get the benefits of these amazing herbs.

We’ve just introduced Stamets 7 on our site last week. This powerful blend of mushrooms is the first thing I would take to help myself out if I was diagnosed with cancer (quickly followed by doing a few other things until I was better). But I’m going to be taking it right now just to help myself stay cancer free.

"I believe that mycelium is the neurological network of nature. Interlacing mosaics of mycelium infuse habitats with information-sharing membranes. These membranes are aware, react to change, and collectively have the long-term health of the host environment in mind. The mycelium stays in constant molecular communication with its environment, devising diverse enzymatic and chemical responses to complex challenges.”
