Maitake Mushroom Organic -50 Capsules 650mg Each
Scientific Name: Grifola frondosa
Origin: USA
Medicinal mushrooms are types of fungi that contain compounds known to benefit health.
(Grifola frondosa) is an edible medicinal mushroom and a member of the Grifolaceae family and Polyporales order. It is native to northeastern Japan and parts of Asia but also grows in North America and Europe.
Initially used in Japan, maitake mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine for centuries and have gained popularity in the Western world.
Recent research has found potential uses of maitake mushrooms in cancer, inflammation, and immunity. These and other health benefits are thought to be due to bioactive ingredients like polysaccharides and polyphenols present in maitake mushrooms.
Maitake mushrooms may also benefit other health conditions, including diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, and neurodegenerative (brain and nerve) diseases. However, research is in the early stages for many of these uses.
Maitake mushrooms are rich in macronutrients (protein, fats, carbohydrates), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and phytochemicals (special plant components). They've been studied for their potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer effects

Maitake Mushroom Benefits
Immune Booster
Scientific research shows that the maitake mushroom may possess certain health-promoting benefits.
The polysaccharides in maitake mushrooms have been found to have antitumor, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and immunomodulatory (an ability to alter the immune system) effects.
Additional bioactive substances in maitake mushrooms are thought to provide anti-inflammatory effects and other effects.
Protects the Brain
Through laboratory studies, scientists have found potential neuroprotective properties in maitake mushrooms.
In one study, maitake mushroom extracts portrayed anti-aging and neuroprotective actions in yeast cells and fruit flies. Beta-glucans are thought to be responsible for these effects
According to a mini-review, maitake mushrooms' antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help protect neuron cells. These properties may also increase neurogenesis when new neuron cells are made.
Though researchers believe that maitake mushrooms may play a future role in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, more research is necessary, especially in humans.
