Real Ingredients
Hydration, Skin Health & More
Tremella mushrooms are jelly fungi with unique hydration properties that can help with skin, hair, and nail health. Tremella contains polysaccharides that can hold up to 500 times their weight in water, making it an excellent natural moisturizer. The extract also contains antioxidants that can support skin, hair, and nail condition by protecting against environmental stressors.
Real Mushrooms, Not Filler
Most mushroom supplements fail because they’re made without mushrooms: they use mycelium fermented grain. Those products have few beneficial fungal compounds—they’re mostly starch.
We use 100% hot water-extracted mushrooms (fruiting body) to unlock the true full spectrum of beneficial compounds.
Highest-Quality, Organic Ingredients
We partner with experienced mushroom growers using Di Dao 地道 (spiritual homeland) cultivation practices to harvest mushrooms in their geo-authentic environments. Our Tremella extract contains only the real mushroom, grown, extracted, and tested with integrity.

Real Science
Real Mushrooms is built on 50+ years of mycological and mushroom growing expertise. Our founder’s roots trace back to the beginning of the functional mushroom category in North America. Today we continue to lead the industry in science-backed and effective mushroom supplements.
Every batch of 5-Defenders is lab-verified for beta-glucan content and free of unwanted fillers like starch or alpha-glucans from grain. This scientific transparency ensures that what’s on the label is exactly what’s in the bottle.
Real Quality
Why Beta-Glucans Matter
Beta-glucans are the primary active compounds in Temella mushrooms that support immune function.* Most mushroom products don’t list beta-glucan content, but we do.
Beta-Glucans indicate an authentic mushroom product versus myceliated grain products that contain high levels of starch (Alpha-Glucans) instead.
Real Mushrooms offer potency you can trust, in every capsule.
We use only 100% mushroom (fruiting body)—no grain, no mycelium, no fillers.
This product has received the Purity-IQ™ Authenticity Certification Program - a cutting-edge nuclear magnetic resonance technique that confirms we use the correct mushroom species and nothing else.

Frequently Asked Questions
All our mushroom extracts are from the leading supplier of organic mushroom extracts: Nammex. They have over 40 years of mushroom growing experience and were one of the first companies to bring organic functional mushroom extracts to North America.
Their ingredients go through rigorous quality control and are tested twice for heavy metals, agricultural chemicals and microbial contamination to ensure they meet all standards for dietary supplements of this nature. All of their extracts are made from certified organic mushrooms (fruiting bodies), organically grown or wildcrafted from deep within mountain regions of China.
Mushrooms used for dietary supplements are seldom grown in North America since they are too expensive. China is the leading supplier of mushrooms worldwide and supplies over 90% of the world’s mushrooms.
It has a rich history of mushroom use as both food and medicine and is the birthplace of mushroom cultivation, with shiitake being farmed in the early 1200s. China is one of the only places in the world where you can get 100% organic mushroom (fruiting body) extracts that can be sold at an affordable price.
The products are identical. The only difference is how you want to consume them.
2 capsules is equivalent to roughly a 1/2 tsp of the mushroom powders.
In terms of potency and efficacy, both the capsules and powders are equally effective at delivering.
The capsules are great for travel, whereas the powder can be added to recipes or mixed in coffee, tea or bone broth.
It is extremely important to distinguish the difference between mushrooms and mycelium.
Mushrooms are the "fruit" and reproductive stage of these organisms, while the mycelium is the root system or "body" of the fungus.
Mushrooms contain much higher levels of active compounds like beta-glucans, and there is a large body of research on them. They have also been consumed for thousands of years as food, and many health benefits have been shown from just mushroom consumption.
Mycelium is commonly grown on a grain substrate, and this grain cannot be separated from the mycelium, so much of the final product is actually grain with no mushrooms present. This shows up in high amounts of starch and low amounts of active compounds like beta-glucans.
For these reasons, Real Mushrooms® only utilizes mushrooms in all of its products, with verified levels of important active compounds like beta-glucans, and is always guarded against starchy fillers like grain.
Tremella is primarily known for supporting skin health and helping maintain moisture balance and skin integrity. It may also support the healthy growth of hair and nails.
This mushroom is also known to promote metabolic health, thanks in part to its ability to support well-balanced blood sugar levels already in a healthy range.
Its benefits also include support for executive brain function and for helping to maintain healthy liver enzyme levels.
Tremella is rich in polysaccharides, nutrients, vitamins, and minerals like other functional mushrooms. Tremella mushroom is one of the lesser-known functional mushrooms, but it’s a great tonic for the immune system!
Tremella mushroom is an ingredient in a Chinese formula known as Yin Mi Pian which is used traditionally in certain cultures as part of dietary practices. Tremella mushrooms are widely consumed in food and drinks in Japan. They are used in sweet desserts in China and are used to treat yin deficiency and support the lungs in Chinese medicine.
Tremella may improve the integrity of your skin by preserving collagen. Human skin-cell studies have shown that Tremella can extend the lifespan of skin fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are cells that play an important role in wound healing and synthesizing collagen.
By supporting fibroblasts, tremella can preserve skin elasticity and prevent sagging. This, combined with tremella’s capacity to support a normal, healthy response to environmental stressors., can also help your skin’s resilience to damage.
To begin, what is Hyaluronic Acid (HA)?
This particular acid is a clear, viscous substance that is naturally occurring in the body, with highest concentrations in our skin, connective tissue, and eyes. As we age, our levels of HA tend to decline. The sole purpose of HA is to maintain water/hydration. Thus, keeping your tissues well lubricated and moist.
What makes Tremella so unique is that it naturally contains these hydrating qualities without being synthetic, like most HA supplements on the market tend to be.
Protein-bound polysaccharides (PBP) found in Tremella mushroom extracts have been studied for their potential role in immune system maintenance. Research continues to explore their function in overall wellness*.
