• Pure Ingredients, No Fillers: Just Maitake (Grifola frondosa).

• Backed by Science: Research shows Maitake are high in beta-glucans, have a pre-biotic effect, support cardiovascular health, and regulate blood sugar levels.

Whether you’re looking to improve your performance or overall well-being, MYCRO’s Maitake Extract is here to assist you.

Maitake has been studied for its potential health benefits, primarily due to its bioactive constituents, including polysaccharides like the D-fraction, which is a protein-bound β-glucan with significant antitumor and immunomodulatory activities. Other bioactive molecules include heteroglycans, proteins, glycoproteins, sterols, and phenolic compounds, which have shown antioxidant, antitumor, and immunomodulatory effects in laboratory and preliminary clinical studies. Research has demonstrated that extracts like sulfated polysaccharide from G. frondosa can induce apoptosis in cancer cells and act as an immunomodulator in breast cancer survivors. 

Organically grown and extracted by biotechnologists right here in Australia. Our 100% fruiting body dual-extract provides you with Maitake in it's most bioavailable form. Using just Maitake mushroom, spring water and Australian sugarcane alcohol, our process ensures a potent and comprehensive blend of both water and alcohol soluble bioactive compounds.

Maitake is extracted for polysaccharides (the beta-glucan grifolan and beta-d-glucans), maitake D-fraction, ergosterol, phenolic compounds (caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid), triterpenoids and lectins.

What the science says..

💪 Maitake:

• Maitake mushrooms contain beta-glucans, which are well-known immune modulators, noted in several studies to enhance the body's ability to fight infections and maintain overall immune function. 

• Maitake mushrooms have been shown in scientific literature to positively influence the gut microbiome through their prebiotic effects. These polysaccharides help regulate lipid metabolism and bolster immune function by promoting beneficial gut flora. 

• Research into Maitake mushrooms indicates their potential to boost immune function, support cardiovascular health, and regulate blood sugar levels. 

Our extraction process may be comprehensive but our ingredients list is not. With only three ingredients we have gone for absolute purity. Proudly Australian-made with 100% Australian mushrooms, spring water and sugarcane alcohol, our extracts set the standard for quality and transparency in the functional mushroom market.

Maitake mushrooms have been traditionally used in Asian medicine for centuries, and recent research has confirmed their potential health benefits. Some of the key benefits of maitake mushrooms include:

• Immune System Support: Maitake mushrooms contain beta-glucans, which have been shown to stimulate the immune system and increase its response to infection.
• Antioxidant Properties: Maitake mushrooms have antioxidant properties, which can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress.
• Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Maitake mushrooms have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce inflammation and improve conditions such as arthritis.
• Cardiovascular Health: The beta-glucans in maitake mushrooms may help lower cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health.
• Anti-Cancer Properties: Maitake mushrooms have been shown to have anti-cancer properties, and may help reduce the growth of cancer cells.
• Digestive Health: Maitake mushrooms contain prebiotic fiber, which can help support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
• Weight Management: Maitake mushrooms may help support healthy weight management by improving metabolism and reducing inflammation.
• Blood Sugar Control: Maitake mushrooms may help support healthy blood sugar levels by improving insulin response.
• Neuroprotective Effects: Maitake mushrooms may have neuroprotective effects, and may help reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Overall, maitake mushrooms are a nutritious and beneficial food that can be incorporated into a healthy diet to support overall health and well-being.

Proudly Australian-grown and setting the standard for purity and quality in functional mushrooms.
