Real Mushroom Nutrition
Maitake contains rich levels of Beta-D-glucans (a specific polysaccharide factor known as fraction-D) and many other valuable phytochemicals. Research suggests that it may support already healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels as well as immune function. Like reishi and cordyceps, it is an adaptogen, meaning that it helps one to deal with stress, tension, and fatigue.
Maitake supports healthy immune function, healthy blood sugar levels, and antioxidant systems.
The best mushroom benefits are derived from mushroom nutrients, and mushroom fruiting bodies provide more of it than grain-grown mycelia. Compared to mycelia, mushroom fruiting bodies provide:
✓ More vitamins and minerals.
✓ More ergothioneines (a potent dietary antioxidant amino acid).
✓ More di- and triterpenes (immunomodulators).
✓ Over 20 times more immune-enhancing Beta-(1,3) (1,6)-D-Glucans.
