Host Defense Breathe Capsules, Immune & Respiratory Support, 30 Capsules

Updated Aug 2022: I’ve now been using this product daily for four and a half years. I’ve been able to stop my Symbicort (3.5 years ago) and I nearly never need my rescue inhaler anymore. While I’ve had a sinus infection and a few allergy flare-ups, I haven’t had the wretched bronchitis I used to get every year (knock on wood). I’ve even managed to avoid Covid so far (again, knock on wood). I’ve never had a quality issue and the prices remain fair for the results delivered. Still 100% recommend! Original review October 2018: I've used and reordered this product now for 6+ months. I find that I'm breathing easier and that my endurance has improved on my long distance runs. An added benefit is that (knock on wood) I've stayed healthy and have not gotten sick this year, even when colds and respiratory bugs have been going around. No adverse side effects; always well packaged and sealed. (I've also ordered Chaga and Lion's Mane by Host Defense and have been very happy with the blend and company.) 5 enthusiastic stars.

I absolutely love this product. And here's why. About seven years ago I stopped smoking. Yay! Unfortunately, smoking had done a job on my lungs and while I do not have emphysema or COPD I found myself sometimes having trouble taking deep breaths. Enter Breathe. I was already familiar with Host Defense and was taking Cordyceps from another trusted company so I knew the benefit of Cordyceps. However, what Paul Stamets has done is paired several, unique mushrooms know for their ability to strengthen and heal, and combined them into this unique formula. I actually started out with the extract version of this same product and I'm glad I did because that one gets into the bloodstream a bit faster. And as a result of taking that product for around ten days I was hooked. Now, I not only have more energy but I can ride my bike for miles and find that my lungs are working normally. Mushrooms are very close in nature to us. And, as adaptogens, they determine exactly what we need and where it is needed and they direct their energy and focus on the problem. So, now that I'm taking the pills I actually do like them a bit more because they seem to last longer in my body. But I am noticing the long term effects of taking this product. The longer you take it, the better your lungs feel. And now I wake up in the morning and I feel amazing. And that's a testament to the research and dedication of Mr. Stamets. So thank you sir. You have given me my life back.

Love this product. Hundred Times Grateful. Helps the Airways and Chest muscles relax. Easier to breathe in Humid and Poor Air Environments

it doesn't seem to have the strength of the same product i bought from a health store in my town.

Okay. We bought Breathe when it was a New Chapter product. My husband said it really helped his lungs. He loved it. He would get burning in his lungs. This went on for years. Then...poof...it (the product)was not available any longer. We could not seem to order it anywhere online.Well, in a short time he developed clots in his lungs, the real pulmonary emboli. Bummer. He probably was getting pulmonary emboli all along for years and we just did not know it. When the product was not available, well, the pulmonary emboli made themselves known. After life threatening emboli, about 25K in hospital bills and trying anti=emboli medications...now it is available again. I am so happy. These mushrooms are well known in TCM for wonderful life enhancement and are tonic mushrooms, meaning they can be taken by anyone. (Well, almost anyone. I suppose if you are immunosuppressed or have an immune problem you need expert advice.) And, they enhance so many life functions. Read about them and consider taking this all around beneficial product. Be your won best advocate through education. Hubby will start taking these again. He will not go off his anti emboli meds of course. He will just have to be monitored for blood thinning levels to make sure he does not get his blood too thin. I wish we always had this product available but we did learn what we had to learn, my husband had some sort of clotting disorder or propensity. He was lucky to survive and is able to be active to this day. I trust Paul Stamets' products with my life.

I have asthma, which is pretty well controlled with Flovent (cortico-steroid). I thought I would start with the Breathe formula, and if I have success, to maybe transition to the My Community formula. Twenty-four hours after first taking this, I suddenly realized that the air I was breathing felt cold and clean, as though I was on top of the Alps (without the effects of elevation). Several days later, I still feel that way about every breath. I live in a fairly remote place with good air quality, but this is amazing! It's as though I'm on oxygen. I can take deep breaths, and they feel so full of oxygen. Now, am I feeling energetic, and like Superman? No... When I lived at higher elevation, I used an oxygen concentrator at night, and I remember that they said it could take three weeks to feel the effects. So maybe in a couple of weeks I'll be throwing bags of dog food around, but right now I'm just enjoying some deep breathing. UPDATE: It has been about three weeks now and I am still amazed by the deep deep breaths I am able to take. But amazingly, I have noticed that I am often not hungry and I have lost several pounds. I am eating 1 1/2 to 2 meals a day with no feelings of hunger. This is not deliberate on my part, and I certainly would not call this a weight-loss product. I think I am just not trying to "pick myself up" with food. My sister says she has heard of new C-PAP users having the same result. Just sayin".

Good quality and fast delivery. I am sure it will help me after my C19 sickness of 2022

seems ok.
