However, I have my hormones checked every 6 months on an unrelated issue and it does not effect my hormones. **Q: Does this product go through dual extraction process?** A: "Host Defense extracts utilize Paul Stamets’ comprehensive Double and Triple Extraction Methods: 1. Hot Water Certified organic fruitbodies of Reishi, Maitake, Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane and Shiitake are hot-water extracted to pull out polysaccharides (e.g. beta-glucans, glycoproteins, and other high-molecular weight compounds). 2. Ethanol Mycelium and fruitbodies are extracted with certified organic ethanol, which isolates antioxidants (e.g. terpenes, triterpenoids, inositols, ergosterols, sterols and myco-flavonoids). 3. Cold Water Pure, filtered water is used to extract extracellular metabolites from the living mycelium within the temperature range at which the fungi’s native immune systems are most active." **Q: What is the difference between alcohol extract and glycerine extract? Which is better? Helath benefits?** A: "Host Defense liquid mushroom extracts are made with U.S.A. grown and processed Certified Organic mushroom mycelium and fruitbodies. Most other brands use only hot-water extraction, which leaves out many valuable constituents. Host Defense extracts utilize Paul Stamets’ comprehensive Double and Triple Extraction Methods: 1.
