What Is Maitake Mushroom Extract?
Maitake Mushroom Extract is derived from the fruiting bodies of Grifola frondosa, a highly valued medicinal fungus native to East Asia. This brownish-yellow extract is renowned for its rich profile of bioactive compounds, most notably highly purified β-glucans (including the famous D-Fraction) and polysaccharides. It also contains ergosterol (a natural precursor to Vitamin D2), triterpenoids, polyphenols, and essential trace minerals.
