Description

Derived from the fruiting bodies of Grifola frondosa, Maitake Mushroom Extract is rich in beta-glucans (especially D-fraction), polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and amino acids. Referred to as the “king of mushrooms” in traditional medicine, it has been used for centuries to support immune function and overall wellness. The extract is prized for its adaptogenic properties, antioxidant capacity, and potential metabolic benefits, now widely applied in dietary supplements, functional foods, and natural health products.

Applications of Maitake Mushroom Extract

Immune System Enhancement：Beta-glucans activate natural killer cells and macrophages, boosting the body’s defense against infections and supporting immune balance.

Antioxidant Protection：Phenolic compounds and triterpenoids scavenge free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and protecting cells from damage.

Metabolic Health Support：D-fraction may help regulate blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity, with potential benefits for metabolic syndrome.

Energy & Vitality：Aids in adapting to physical and mental stress, improving stamina and reducing fatigue.

Functional Formulations：Used in capsules, powders, teas, energy drinks, and skincare products (e.g., antioxidant serums for skin rejuvenation).

Why choose us

Sustainable Sourcing：Cultivated on organic hardwood substrates in controlled environments, ensuring pure, unadulterated material.

Advanced Extraction：Hot water or dual-extraction (water and ethanol) with low-temperature concentration to preserve heat-sensitive beta-glucans and triterpenoids.

Stringent Quality Control：Each batch tested for beta-glucans, polysaccharides, heavy metals, and microbial safety; GMP-certified production.

High Bioavailability：Micro-pulverized processing increases surface area for better absorption, outperforming standard extracts in dissolution tests.

Custom Solutions：Tailored extraction ratios and formulations for OEM/ODM needs in nutraceuticals, functional beverages, and cosmeceuticals.
