Host Defense Teams Up with Grateful Dead for Exciting New Gummies Launch

Host Defense and Grateful Dead: A Unique Collaboration



In an exciting new development within the wellness supplement arena, Host Defense® has unveiled its partnership with the legendary band Grateful Dead by launching the Grateful Dead Gummies™. This innovative product marks the first time the iconic band has collaborated with a wellness brand, encapsulating a blend of health, nostalgia, and great taste.

The new Grateful Dead Gummies™ integrate organic mushroom mycelium into convenient, consumable forms. Each gummy contains only 4g of sugar, offering not just nutrition but bold, natural flavors that aim to make daily wellness both enjoyable and accessible. This venture demonstrates that health supplements can also be delicious!

Betsy Bullman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Host Defense, expressed her enthusiasm stating, "Gummies are one of the most exciting ways to experience the power of mushroom mycelium. Grateful Dead Gummies™ allow us to deliver our science, ingredients, and values in a format that feels fun, modern, and approachable—while honoring the spirit and cultural impact of the Grateful Dead."

Exciting Flavors and Health Benefits


The Grateful Dead Gummies™ come in three distinct formulations, each harnessing the benefits of unique mushroom mycelium blends:

1. Cosmic Focus™ - Available in a zesty Orange Sunshine flavor, this formula includes Lion's Mane mushroom mycelium and B vitamins aimed at enhancing cognitive function and memory support.

2. Stay Mellow™ - This gummy, featuring a soothing Cherry Zen flavor, combines organic Reishi and Lion’s Mane mushrooms with calming herbs like ashwagandha and chamomile to foster emotional balance and stress reduction.

3. Beary Well™ - Offering a tantalizing Elderberry Medley flavor, this gummy combines Agarikon, Turkey Tail, and Chaga mushroom mycelium with black elderberry, vitamin C, and Zinc, supporting immune and respiratory health.

Rooted in Friendship


This unique collaboration between Host Defense and the Grateful Dead stems from a long-standing friendship between Paul Stamets, the founder of Host Defense, and the band. Stamets remarked, "This collaboration is deeply personal to me—the Grateful Dead have been a constant source of friendship throughout my life. In my early years working long nights in the lab with only Dead albums for company, I saw firsthand how mycelium responded to the rhythms of the music. Their vibrations have shaped my journey."
