MIATAKE/GRIFOLA FRONDOSA

Maitake, is among the world's most beneficial functional mushrooms. Its name which is translated as the dancing mushroom, perfectly describes the beautiful array of overlapping caps that resemble a bird's plumage. Thanks to its bird-like appearance, it is known as the “hen-of-the-woods” in Europe and North America. This feathered mushroom offers a wide range of health benefits, including its ability to help support healthy blood sugar levels and immune health.

Maitake contains an impressive amount of polysaccharides, triterpenes and additional bioactive chemicals that are known to offer a wide range of health benefits. Research shows that its beta glucan content has immune-supporting effects as well as anti-viral properties. The mushroom's bioactive polysaccharides support the body in helping to ward off pathogens - particularly useful when there's a cold going around at the office, or you're experiencing stress and have a weakened immune system.
