Maitake (Grifola frondosa) also known as the "Dancing Mushroom", is a medicinal mushroom with a long history in traditional Japanese and Chinese medicine. It is used to support the health of the immune, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems and also has beneficial properties on mental function.
Because of its high β-glucan content , the medicinal mushroom Maitake has been the subject of scientific studies that have highlighted its immunomodulatory potential and its role as an adjuvant in various proliferative disorders.
Forms of release
Maitake medicinal mushroom is available in different pharmaceutical forms, but the most widely used is the capsule form due to its high bioavailability.
