Maitake
Host Defense Maitake is a mushroom supplement providing 100 mg of Maitake per two-capsule serving. This product features a single active ingredient with 100% label transparency. Despite this clarity, the product receives an N+ Score of 45, earning an 'F' grade, placing it in the below-average tier due to concerns regarding ingredient adequacy and formula completeness.
