Description
Our Organic Maitake Extract is 100% organic and made from the fruiting body of the mushroom to retain the natural properties of this amazing health promoting mushroom.
The fruiting body of the Maitake mushroom or Hen Of The Woods as it is also known has been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine to enhance the immune system.
Research has also shown that Maitake has the ability to regulate blood pressure, glucose and both serum and liver lipids, such as cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids, and may also be useful for weight loss.
Beta D Glucans And Polysaccharides
Maitake has also been widely researched for its effects on the immune system and various cancers. Several researchers corroborate that maitake causes apoptosis (“programmed suicide”) of cancer cells and contains anti-angionenesis properties. That means they can restrict the proliferation of bloods cells that feed tumors. One reason may be that maitake mushroom fruitbodies are rich in complex polysaccharides, in particular the heavy and complex 1,3; 1,4; and 1,6 beta-D-glucans.
Boosting Immune System
Immune benefits of organic maitake extract include modulation of cytokines, molecules produced by white blood cells that activate the immune response, according to the University of Wisconsin Botany Department. Organic Maitake extract exerts its effects by binding to the cell membranes of white blood cells known as macrophages and either activating or inhibiting release of cytokines.
A study published in the Summer 2004 issue of the “Journal of Medicinal Food” found that D-fraction, a polysaccharide extract of maitake, activated several types of immune cells and molecules, including T-helper cells, macrophages and interleukins. Researchers concluded that maitake may offer immune benefits that help protect against infection.

Love its fruity taste. I love Maitake mushroom powder on its own dissolved in hot water or with black coffee.

I have been blending your Reishi, Chaga, Turkey Tail and Maitake for three years. The quality and health benefits are excellent. I wouldn’t purchase mushroom powder from anywhere else. Always delighted with your packaging and service. Thank you.
