Maitake Mushroom Powder 10:1 Extract. Balance Your Wellness Naturally (3.5oz / 100g)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I've found a unique way to use this product that differs from what others typically do. Instead of the usual approach, I incorporate this mushroom powder to introduce an earthy umami flavor to vegan meat substitutes. Previously, I've enjoyed using shiitake mushroom powder for a similar purpose. The maitake powder, however, brings a stronger and more intense flavor, imparting a distinctive earthy and woodsy taste. Due to the robustness of the flavor, I find myself using less maitake powder compared to shiitake. While I can't personally vouch for the immunity benefits, many nutritionists emphasize the importance of mushrooms in a healthy diet. If this product adds extra health benefits to my meals, it's undoubtedly another positive aspect. For those who craft their own vegan meats, I highly recommend this product for infusing a delightful umami flavor and mouthfeel to your dishes.

Tried on a whim. It does have a positive impact on the days I take it. Mixed in with peppermint tea.
