Maitake (Grifola frondosa) mushroom powder from ground fruiting bodies. Preserves the complete natural biochemistry of the mushroom - beta-glucans, chitin and all accompanying compounds. Supports immune system, glucose metabolism and gut health. 120g, ready to brew.

Grifola frondosa contains several specific beta-glucan fractions not found in other mushroom species - these form the broad and specific profile of Maitake in the context of immune modulation, metabolic support and gut health. For Fungipapa powder production, exclusively fruiting bodies are used without fillers or additives. Fruiting body powder differs from extract - it preserves the complete natural matrix of the mushroom including chitin and fiber. Chitin acts as a prebiotic and feeds beneficial gut microflora - a specific advantage of the powder form that the extract does not contain. Extended brewing is recommended for maximum release of active compounds.

What Makes Maitake Unique?

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) contains several specific beta-glucan fractions not found in other mushroom species. Among them - fractions with hypoglycemic activity influencing glucose levels and insulin function, and the MD fraction that stimulates bone marrow stem cell production. The diversity of beta-glucan complexes forms the broad and specific profile of Maitake.

Nutraceutical Value

Immune support - Maitake beta-glucans and terpenes are studied in the context of immune cell activation and supporting the body under viral and bacterial stress. Studied in integrative support protocols for oncological and viral conditions.

Glucose metabolism is one of the most documented properties of Grifola frondosa. Specific beta-glucan fractions are studied in the context of lowering blood sugar, improving insulin sensitivity and supporting type 2 diabetes management. The mushroom is also studied for healthy weight support - through its influence on fat metabolism.

Gut and digestive health - Maitake is studied as an intestinal regulator with anti-inflammatory action in the gastrointestinal tract. It stimulates pancreatic digestive enzymes - trypsin, amylase and lipase - improving nutrient absorption. Chitin and fiber from the fruiting body powder additionally support the gut microbiome as a natural prebiotic. Studied for food intolerances, irritable bowel syndrome and chronic inflammatory GI conditions.

Blood cell production - the MD beta-glucan fraction of Maitake is studied in the context of stimulating bone marrow to produce red and white blood cells.

How to Use

The optimal form of consumption is brewing as a tea. Add 1 teaspoon (2g) of powder to hot water (90-100°C) and steep for 10-15 minutes. Heat treatment makes the active compounds of the mushroom more accessible for absorption. The powder can also be added to dishes undergoing heat treatment - soups, porridges. Take 1-3 times per day. Dosage is selected individually - alone or in combination with other mushrooms. Individual dosage should be agreed with a specialist.
