It's perfect with minimal taste. Great in coffee.
Organic Maitake Capsules Mushroom 10:1 Extract (120 count) Balance Your Wellness Naturally
- 100g Powder
- 120 Caps.
- Bulk Powder
What's Inside These Maitake Capsules
These Maitake capsules hold one ingredient in a vegan shell:
- Certified organic Maitake (Grifola frondosa) as a 10:1 hot water extract
- 30%+ beta-D glucans, confirmed by lab testing
- Fruiting body only, never grain-grown mycelium
- 900 mg in three capsules, with no fillers alongside
How to Take It: 3 Capsules a Day
3 capsules (900 mg) daily. 120 capsules last 40 days.
- Take with water, with or without food, any time of day
- Travel-friendly: no scoop, no taste, no mixing
- Consistency beats timing: same time daily works best
- Give it time: most people commit to 2–3 months of daily use
What Makes These Capsules Stronger
You can't see or taste what is inside a capsule, so the label has to carry the proof. Two things back up the label on these Maitake capsules:
- What often fills the shell: many mushroom capsules contain mycelium cultivated on grain and ground whole, starch included. Sealed in a capsule, it looks the same as a real extract.
- The figure grain cannot reach: starch makes up most of that grain, so a mycelium-on-grain fill has no way to 30%+ beta-D glucans. These capsules test above that level, and the bottle says so.
What's Really Inside Mushroom Capsules
Maitake capsules can hold two very different things. One is the fruiting body, the frilly grey-brown cluster known as hen of the woods. The other is mycelium, the root-like threads underneath, which is raised on grain when it is made into supplements.
- Fruiting body extract. Grifolan, a (1→3)-beta-D glucan that Maitake research looks at, forms in the mushroom's cell walls while it fruits. Mycelium raised on grain is harvested before those walls develop.
- Mycelium on grain. Ground and encapsulated, it typically tests in low single digits for beta-D glucans, and most of the rest of the fill is starch from the grain.
- A name with no part. A bottle that says "Maitake mushroom" without saying which part is naming a process, and the part is what decides the contents.
- The label test. Look for "fruiting body" and a beta-glucan percentage. "Cultured on organic oats" or "mycelial biomass" on a bottle means the capsules are mostly grain.
Each three-capsule serving here is 900 mg of 10:1 hot water extract from Maitake fruiting bodies, in a vegan capsule.
Maitake Trials, for Capsules Users
Capsules users can check two human trials of Maitake, published in 2026 by the same group and both randomised and double-blind.
Jogi et al., Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 2026: over 18 weeks, 47 healthy adults aged 60 or older ate bread containing 50 g of whole maitake a day. The Y10M strain lifted cognitive assessment scores against placebo, alongside NK cell activity, while the C5304 strain did not. Bread made with whole mushroom and 900 mg of extract in capsules are different preparations. Read the study
Masuda et al., Food & Function, 2026: the same researchers studied immune response in healthy adults across two age groups; older participants showed greater activation of dendritic cells and more type I interferon signalling. Keep Jogi's caveats in mind: in that trial one strain worked and the other did not, and the 50 g of maitake was eaten whole in bread, not as an extract. Read the study

How to judge Maitake capsules before buying
Every bottle of Maitake capsules says Maitake, and nobody can see through the shell to check. Four questions sort one bottle from another, and ours has to answer them too.

Maitake carries grifolan, a (1→3)-beta-D glucan, and its D-fraction is the part research concentrates on. In these capsules, total beta-D glucans are lab-verified at 30%+, with no taste to work around.

It started decades
before we sold a thing.
Born in Canada, Longevity Botanicals traces its roots to founder Hugh Hale's pursuit of traditional herbalism. In the early 1990s, he spent three years studying functional mushrooms, laying the foundation for the brand he launched in 2015.
Most brands compete
on price. We don't.
We make a focused range of mushroom supplements with one principle: use thoughtfully prepared mushrooms, keep every ingredient intentional, and never add anything we'd need to explain away. Fewer products. Better standards.
Loved by people
who read labels.
We believe trust starts with transparency. That's why we clearly state what's inside every formula, how it's prepared, and exactly what you're getting, without unnecessary fillers or hidden blends.
Better mushrooms begin
before extraction.
Quality starts long before the extract is made. We carefully source certified organic mushrooms, use the fruiting body, and apply hot-water extraction to concentrate the naturally occurring compounds people actually seek.

Three decades of practice, one standard we don't bend, and every number printed where you can check it.
30+ Years studying mushrooms
Founder Hugh Hale left the conventional path in the early 1990s to study traditional herbalism and functional mushrooms. That work became Longevity Botanicals in 2015.
100% Fruiting bodies, always
We use fruiting bodies for their compound profile, and because it is the only way to print exactly what is in the bag. Mycelium grows into its grain substrate and cannot be separated from it, so that label can never tell you how much is really mushroom.

FAQ
What time of day should I take Maitake capsules?
Do Maitake capsules taste of anything?
No. Maitake's savoury flavour stays sealed inside the shell, so you swallow three with water and taste nothing.
How long should I give the capsules?
Plan on several weeks. Maitake's effects are cumulative and it is not a stimulant, so any shift tends to be gradual rather than felt within an hour of swallowing. A 120-capsule bottle lasts 40 days, which covers a fair trial of four to six weeks.
Can I take the capsules with coffee or other mushrooms?
Yes, both are fine. Maitake is often paired with Turkey Tail for everyday immune support. Because each of our capsules holds a single extract, stacking just means taking the other bottle's serving with the same glass of water, and neither interferes with the other.
Are Maitake capsules suitable for every day?
They are made for it. Maitake is a food-grade mushroom extract, and daily intake is both the traditional pattern and the one used in studies. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, on prescription medication or living with a health condition, talk to a healthcare professional before you start.
How can I check what's inside each Maitake capsule?
Read the numbers on the bottle. Lab testing puts the extract inside above 30% beta-D glucans, concentrated 10:1 from fruiting bodies, and nothing else is blended into the fill, whether grain, starch or flow agents. A brand that skips the glucan percentage usually has a reason to.

I've been ordering from this company because of several factors that set them apart from other mushroom supplement brands: 3rd party testing, USDA Organic, USA manufactured, high beta d glucans, and no fillers. I've seen cheaper options, but they do not include these added benefits that equal a reliably clean supplement. It would be nice if they omitted the silicone dioxide, so I would reduce the rating by a fraction if I could. Only whole stars are available, so 5 stars it is.
I have taken these for awhile and I have not noticed an increase in energy levels yet. There is no taste to taking the capsules and I have had no after taste either. There is a total of 36,000mg, 1.27oz in this bottle. I will probably switch to the powder next time that has over 99,000mg at 3.5oz and mix in a shake or something. The dosage is 3 pills a day, so this is a 40 day supply. Easy way to take these mushrooms but I think I will switch to the powder when done with the capsules.
I purchased this mushroom supplement with high expectations for the benefits of maitake mushrooms. The product is advertised as Certified Organic by NASAA (National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia), offering a 40-day supply with three capsules per serving. Key Information: • Serving Size: 3 capsules • Total Capsules: 120 • Certification: Certified Organic by NASAA • Expiration Date: 9/19/2025 (Located under UPC) • Smell: Clean, reminiscent of mushrooms Usage Experience: Taking a serving of three one-inch capsules is straightforward, and there have been no issues with consumption. However, I've not yet observed the product's effects via bloodwork results, as the need for an extended period is indicated. Discrepancies in Product Description: Despite the product's claim to be "PURE & ORGANIC" with "no grains, fillers, or additives," I discovered misleading information after purchase. The picture on the packaging contradicts the content, specifying the absence of fillers, but this is apparently true only for the powdered form, not the capsules. Undisclosed Additives: The bottle's ingredients reveal several additives not mentioned in the product description: Hypromellose: A viscolizing agent, coating polymer, bioadhesive, used in solid dispersion to enhance solubility, and as a binder in the granulation process. Silicon Dioxide: A flow agent. Microcrystalline Cellulose: Commonly used as a bulking agent, binder, glidant, disintegrant, and auxiliary suspending agent. Possibly Stearic Acid: A flow agent, lubricant, binder, or anti-caking agent (unclear if present). Misleading Claims and Filler Concerns: While the product claims to be free of fillers, the inclusion of hypromellose, silicon dioxide, and microcrystalline cellulose contradicts this assertion. Additionally, it's important to note that the product description on the bottle differs from the initial understanding provided in the picture. Recommended Fillers to Avoid: The product contains additives that some consider undesirable in supplements. Unnecessary additives to be cautious of include magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, starch, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, simethicone, vegetable gum, talc, and propylene glycol.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away... So I was hoping a scoop of maitake extract powder will do the same. Used for 1000s of years in treating many ailments giving a boost to your immune system and heart health. Plus numerous other benefits. Anything helps. This is a strong extract with 100g in a resealable package, which works out to around 60 servings using the 1.6g scoop provided. $59.99 with a $5. coupon offered. The flavor is very mushroomy with no I'll lingering aftertaste. In my reading there is promising results relating to cancer, in people as well as animals. So I am also trying it to reduce or eliminate a tumor that my dog has. Many dog owners have used mushroom powders with good results and I'm hoping for the same. I will check back in with our progress in time. I hope this helps in your decision making.
Medicinal mushroom extracts rock! They increase vitality, enhance immunity and contribute to overall health and well-being. I've used both powdered extracts and liquid tinctures - I think I prefer the powder because I can put them in empty vegan capsules and make my own supplement, especially because I can mix Maitake for instance, with Lion's Mane, or Chaga, or Reishi, or whatever.
Just started using it, so can't comment on it's effectiveness. Shipped quickly and smells very nice, doesn't alter The taste of my coffee.
I FOUND THIS TO BE A CONVENIENT WAY TO ADD SOME MAITAKE TO MY SHAKE. I OPEN A CAPSULE AND USE A SMALL AMOUNT OUT OF THE CAPSULE, AND EASILY CLOSE THE CAPSULE FOR THE NEXT TIME. THIS IS A NICE ALTERNATIVE TO ADDING DROPS OF A MAITAKE TINCTURE.
High quality product!!
I love my maitake....energized, smooth taste. Very happy that I bought it.
Great product! I definitely notice a change in my body.
VERY RELIABLE COMPANY. QUALITY EXTRACT INGREDIENTS.
I used this mixed into my yogurt today. It was very easy to stir in and get it blended
It’s perfect with minimal taste. Great in coffee.
Great product, shipped quickly!
This product is good. Thank you.
Very good, recommend it.
Too early to know if it did anything. Mushrooms I'm told can take up to 60 or 90 days(approx) to start manifesting change. Some faster. But Maitake targeting the immune system, I suspect it works under the radar.
I did my research & I am giving this a 5 Start as I feel it's a good product.
Toujours satisfaite
I purchased this product because I know that maitake mushroom is good for immunity. So far I have no issues with it and it's easy on my stomach.
Maitake mushrooms are good for you but the tablets come in a very small bottle. Maybe very good as I have not tried them yet
This is an excellent anti-inflammatory product.
Très satisfaite du produit.
I have been on this product for two months and have found that I’m feeling much better and blood work is stable.
Desde que lo empecé a tomar me sentido con más energía y e bajado de peso.
This product came exactly as labeled. I used this in my baby's food for nutrients. It mirrors the things out into his expensive baby food Brand we love called Cerebelly. The brand uses this ingredient in its baby food, this was my approach to make the same ingredients cheaper. So, far so good.
There are so many supplement companies putting out mushroom supplements, but their formulations are cookie cutter and one of many different types they put out. I look for brands that ONLY focus on mushroom supplements, which brings me to Longevity Botanicals. This brand was started in 2015 and are certified 100% organic, kosher, non-GMO, USDA certified and gluten free. There's a lot of quality crafting in these supplements. I'm not new to taking mushroom supplements as I've been on them for 5 years now. So, I'm not going to be able to speak from a place of radical difference. That said, I enjoyed taking these and found my body responded positively to them. I can happily recommend this brand!
