Maitake 300mg, 30caps, Adams Supplements

Maitake, “the king of mushrooms” or “the dancing mushroom”

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is an edible, very tasty mushroom, one of the species that are endangered in some European countries. Growing in a bush-like form, it most often appears on the roots and stumps of oak trees. In Japan it is often used in cooking, and it is also very popular in alternative medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. It contains many active substances, including polysaccharides.

Maitake contains active proteoglycans with a complex structure: polysaccharides with a beta-1,6 main chain and beta-1,3 branches, and polysaccharides with a beta-1,3 main chain and beta-1,6 branches (providing 30% active proteoglucans: 1,3/1,6-Beta-glucan). Due to this special structure (unique to the Maitake mushroom), it has a superior immune-balancing capacity compared to any other medicinal mushrooms.

Each capsule contains 300 mg of Maitake extract with 10% polysaccharides.

The capsules contain Maitake mushroom extract. The soluble parts of the mushroom powder are removed or evaporated, leaving a complete concentrate that contains important secondary substances — polysaccharides in the best possible bioavailability.
