The Product Discovery Zone at Spark Change provides a great firsthand look at many of the brands exemplifying the trends and macro forces that will shape the natural products industry for years to come.

This Spark Change-inspired series shines the spotlight on some of these brands by highlighting a different trend each week.

Trend of the week: Immunity

Brands exemplifying the Immunity trend help consumers shift from reaction to prevention, giving them both new and time-tested ways to strengthen the body’s defenses and stave off illness.

1. Host Defense Mushrooms

Mushrooms are having a moment. And Host Defense mushrooms incorporates a wide variety of awesome, functional fungi species that offer many system-specific benefits to target everything from energy to cognition to immunity. Its Elderberry Plus Syrup is sure to fly off shelves as the months get colder and COVID-19 lingers because of its potent combination of two forms of immunity-boosting powerhouse elderberry with mushroom mycelium from Reishi, Chaga and Turkey Tail mushrooms. Find Host Defense Mushrooms in the Product Discovery Zone.

2. Heywell
