About Maitake Mushroom

For centuries, Maitake mushrooms have been used in Traditional Eastern Medicine for their potential to support immune function and metabolic health. Known as the “Dancing Mushroom” due to its unique appearance, Maitake has been studied for its role in helping to regulate blood sugar and support heart health.

Our USDA Organic Maitake Mushroom Extract Powder continues this tradition, made from 100% fruiting bodies for optimal potency. With over 30% Beta-D glucans, our Maitake extract supports your body’s natural functions, aiding in immune response and metabolic regulation. Cultivated on wood and processed with a gentle extraction method, this powder retains essential nutrients to help you maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

The key active ingredients in Maitake include:

D-fraction polysaccharides – compounds that may help regulate blood sugar levels and support metabolic health;

Antioxidants – help protect against oxidative stress;

Triterpenes – compounds associated with supporting heart health.

With these beneficial compounds, Maitake mushrooms offer a natural way to support your immune system and maintain healthy metabolism, offering a variety of nutrients that can be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle.

Scientific Studies on Maitake Mushroom

Scientific Studies on Maitake Mushroom

The most well-documented benefits of Maitake Mushroom (Grifola frondosa) are:

  • Maitake Extracts and Their Therapeutic Potential
    This review highlights Maitake’s rich polysaccharide content, especially the D-fraction and MD-fraction, which have shown promise in immune modulation and as an adjunct to cancer therapy. Maitake may also provide potential benefits in hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hepatitis management, but further research is needed (Mayell, 2001).

  • Effect of Maitake on Blood Pressure and Lipids
    This study shows that Maitake-fed rats exhibited a reduction in blood pressure and cholesterol levels, indicating its potential role in managing hypertension and lipid profiles (Kabir et al., 1987).

  • Maitake Extract Inhibits Angiogenesis
    Maitake extract has demonstrated anti-angiogenic properties by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis, suggesting its potential in supporting cardiovascular and cancer health (Lee et al., 2008).

  • Phase I/II Trial of Maitake Polysaccharide in Breast Cancer Patients
    This clinical trial found that Maitake extract showed both immune-stimulating and suppressing effects, indicating complex interactions with immune function in breast cancer patients (Deng et al., 2009).

  • Maitake’s Effect on Liver and Serum Lipids
    Research suggests that Maitake may help alter lipid metabolism, reducing the accumulation of liver lipids and lowering serum lipid levels in animal models (Kubo & Nanba, 1996).

Why use Mushroom Fruiting Bodies and not Mycelium?

When choosing functional mushroom supplements, it's essential to understand the difference between mushrooms (fruiting bodies) and mycelium. Fruiting bodies are the part of the fungus that grows above ground and are rich in active compounds like Beta-D glucans, which are linked to a wide range of health benefits. On the other hand, mycelium, often grown on grain, tends to have more starch and a lower concentration of mushroom nutrients.

At Longevity Botanicals, we use only 100% fruiting bodies in our supplements. This ensures you receive the highest concentration of beneficial compounds without any grain fillers. Our extracts are packed with Beta-D glucans and other bioactive components, well-known for their immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and overall wellness benefits.

Fruiting body extracts are widely regarded as more potent than mycelium-based powders due to their higher concentration of active ingredients. Choosing our mushroom supplements guarantees you access to the most effective and powerful forms of mushroom nutrition, helping you optimize your health and well-being naturally.

You have questions,
we've got answers

Best time of the day to consume

Maitake powder can be taken at any time of day. Many people prefer adding it to their morning smoothies or coffee to kickstart their day with immune and metabolic support. Others enjoy mixing it into soups or broths for an afternoon or evening boost. The best time is whenever it fits naturally into your daily routine.

How can I benefit from Maitake?

Maitake powder is packed with Beta-D glucans and D-fraction polysaccharides, which are known to support immune function, promote balanced blood sugar levels, and enhance heart health. Its natural bioactive compounds also help boost metabolic health and improve overall vitality, making it an essential addition to your wellness routine.

What to mix the Powder with?

Our Chaga extract blends easily into a variety of beverages, such as coffee, tea, smoothies, or just hot water. You can also get creative and mix it into your favorite recipes, like soups, stews, broths, or even baked goods. Adding it to foods is a great way to incorporate its natural benefits into your daily meals, making it even more versatile in your wellness routine. Pair it with other superfoods like turmeric or ginger for enhanced wellness support.

What is the difference between capsules and powder?
Both forms deliver the same high-quality benefits. Capsules offer a quick, convenient dose, while the powder allows for versatility, easily blending into beverages or recipes. Choose the option that best fits your lifestyle and routine.
Why only list beta-glucans and not polysaccharides?
We focus on Beta-D glucans, the most researched and active compounds in mushrooms, to ensure the highest quality. While polysaccharides are common, they can sometimes include starch from grains. By prioritizing Beta-D glucans, we ensure a more accurate measure of potency and effectiveness.
Where are your mushrooms from?

All of our mushroom extracts are sourced from trusted, certified organic suppliers who specialize in cultivating 100% fruiting bodies. These mushrooms are grown or wildcrafted in pristine environments, primarily from the mountainous regions of China, a country known for its long history of mushroom cultivation. Traditional Chinese practices have included mushrooms for wellness support for thousands of years.

Our partners follow rigorous quality control procedures, with every batch tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contamination, ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality.

China is a global leader in mushroom cultivation, providing a significant portion of the world’s mushrooms. By partnering with suppliers who focus on quality and purity, we are able to offer high-quality extracts at competitive prices without compromising on excellence.

organic and high caliber

I'm thrilled to incorporate organic, high-quality Maitake mushrooms into my morning smoothies. The taste is pleasantly mild and blends effortlessly with the other ingredients. I've noticed a noticeable improvement in my cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health, which has further solidified my love for this supplement.

impressive sustained health gains with instant mixability in shakers

The Organic Maitake Mushrooms are presently priced at $59.99 with a -$5.00 coupon as of this review. Incorporating a scoop into my morning protein shake daily for the past week has been a delightful experience. The mixability is instantaneous, leaving no discernible taste when blended in a veggie and/or protein shake. Each serving is modest in quantity, ensuring the bag will last an extended period; the mushroom powder is stored in a fresh, re-sealable bag. Additionally, the organic composition without fillers aligns with my supplement preferences. Supporting a Canadian small business adds significance to my choice. Noteworthy health benefits encompass heart health, immune system support, cancer support, and diabetes management.

excellent for the chilly season

This mushroom powder is of excellent quality, offering a boost to your immunity and providing additional health benefits. Begin with a small amount in your coffee to gauge your tolerance and gradually increase as you become accustomed to the taste. Although the bag is small, it's potent, and a little of it can make a significant impact.

good product though waiting for further updates

I found this product effective, but the customer service left much to be desired. I was treated with a dismissive attitude when I tried to purchase it directly, and I'm willing to pay a slight premium for a better customer experience. I would switch to a competitor as soon as a better option emerges.

powder of mushroom

The product is decent, but I think the price is excessive. I would only consider purchasing it again if the price were significantly reduced.

ideal for combining

Recently, I opted to create my own mushroom supplement blend, researching the varieties that I believed would be advantageous for me and combining them based on a recipe I found in a video. I've chosen size 0 capsules for easier swallowing compared to size 00 or 000. The powder is derived from the fruits (mushrooms) rather than the mycelium. While I lack a means to verify this, its robust mushroom taste suggests a high mushroom content, unlike many mycelium-based products that have little to no taste. While this may not serve as conclusive proof, I personally prefer the inclusion of the fruiting bodies of the mushroom in my supplements. Maitake mushrooms have a long history of medicinal use spanning hundreds of years, potentially offering benefits when used appropriately. However, it's essential to conduct your own research to ensure this product aligns with your specific needs.

straight into the protein shake for me

Hen-of-the-wood, or maitake, earns its name from its resemblance to hen plumage in the wild. Beyond its extensive culinary applications, the protein polysaccharides in maitake have undergone thorough research, unveiling a range of health benefits. These include notable anti-tumor properties, cholesterol reduction, immune support, and the potential to moderate symptoms of diabetes. It's impressive for a mushroom that not only offers health perks but also boasts a good taste, although I wouldn't consider adding a mushroom flavor to my beloved coffee. On most mornings, my protein shakes are a medley of various ingredients, so I haven't distinctly tasted it. I incorporate several mushroom powders, including reishi and lion's mane, alongside maitake, and as I age (so far), I can genuinely say I feel better.

Easy to incorporate into my morning smoothie

Mushrooms are so good for us, especially when we include different varieties into our diets. The local store closest to me rarely has anything but button or portabella. Which are great for cooking, but special mushrooms have added benefits. I regularly add reishi to my morning smoothies which is great for immunity and aging well. I also add lions main which is good for your brain, nervous system and digestion. I also take a tincture of TurkeyTail which is supposed to be great for skin, as well as immunity and digestion. Now I have added maitake which is great for cardiovascular and heart health. I now have the powerhouse benefits of mushrooms every morning!You do not need to add a lot at all, a little scoop in my smoothie and I can not even taste it. I assume you can also cook with this and maybe use for something like a mushroom gravy, but I like to add them all to my morning smoothie. The powder is super fine and incorporates super easily. I LOVE that it is Organic. I am mor lenient with mushrooms just based on how they grow, but if I can get the Organic, I totally do!I hope that you have found my review helpful. : ) Enjoy your day! : )
