Maitake Mushroom

Maitake Mushrooms Have Been Consumed For Over 3,000 Years!

Maitake Mushrooms are known in Japan as "the dancing mushroom" and have a long history of traditional use. Maitake is also known as the "hen of the woods," "sheep's head" and "king of mushrooms" due to the fact that they can grow to more than 100 lbs. Maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa) is made up of polysaccharides called beta-glucans, which have shown to be very effective in stimulating the immune system. A polysaccharide is a complex carbohydrate containing small sugar molecules which balance blood sugar, blood pressure, and can effect free radicals. Maitake is one of the most encouraging medicinal mushrooms studied around the world and is known for supporting normal cell growth. Maitake is one of the healthiest foods around and is rich in minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium. Some vitamins found in Maitake are Niacin, B2, D2 and amino acids. Maitake also contains L-glutamate which provides a pleasant flavor and taste.

Natures Elements Maitake Mushroom tablets contain 30% polysaccharides and uses only the highest quality fruitingbody parts of the mushroom which are rich in complex polysaccharides; including the heavy and complex 1,3; 1,4; and 1,6 beta-d-glucans.

Try with some vitamin C. Research shows that vitamin C increases the absorption of polysaccharides in the body. Try taking with orange juice or add vitamin C to your maitake routine!

Maitake Extract vs Maitake Powder

One way you can gauge the potency of your Maitake Mushroom is by finding out if it is an Extract. Extracts can be 10, 20 or even 100 times the concentration of a powder. For Example If you compared a Maitake Mushroom powder tablet to a Maitake Mushroom 10:1 extract tablet you would find it would take ten tablets of the powder to equal one tablet of 10:1 extract. Which one do you think offers the best results? The irony is that powders are often marked up very high, and while extracts cost vitamin companies much more it might not cost you more. Here's one way to look at it. We know that ten powder tablets equal one 10:1 extract tablet. Lets say the extract version costs 3 times more; however you get close to 7 times more Maitake so the value clearly lies with the extract!

How Long Should I Take Maitake Mushroom?

Maitake Mushroom is taken daily with one small easy to swallow tablet. Each bottle of Maitake Extract Tablets contain a 1-month supply.
