Do you want to get the most out of Maitake's naturally occurring bioactive
compounds?
Discover the power of Maitake in a premium concentrated
form. Maitake Premium BIO contains a dual extract from the
fruiting bodies of Grifola frondosa, a traditionally prized mushroom
also known as the „dancing mushroom“.
According to legend, Maitake was so rare that it was exchanged for silver,
and its discovery was a cause for joy. Today, it is one of the most well-known
vital mushrooms and is gaining increasing popularity among
enthusiasts of functional nutrition, biohacking, and long-term body
care.
In traditional Chinese medicine, Maitake is primarily associated with the
Spleen, Stomach, and Kidneys. It is perceived as a mushroom of
neutral nature and sweet taste, traditionally linked to supporting the
centre, digestion, lightness of the body, and natural
balance.
The extract is standardised to a high content of polysaccharides and
beta-(1,3/1,6)-D-glucans. It contains a minimum of 35%
beta-glucans, and one recommended daily dose provides 315 mg
of beta-(1,3/1,6)-D-glucans.
Maitake Premium BIO is produced using a dual extraction
method. Water extraction releases polysaccharides, including
beta-glucans, while alcohol extraction helps to obtain other
naturally occurring bioactive compounds. The resulting broad-spectrum extract
retains the natural composition of the mushroom, but in a higher
concentration and with better bioavailability for the
body. It does not contain alcohol.
You will appreciate the practical form of vegan capsules if
you don't want to deal with preparing powder or its natural taste. You can
easily incorporate them into your daily routine at home, at work, or while
travelling. Our capsules are plant-based and are size 1 for
easier swallowing.
Discover Maitake in premium strength. The concentrated dual
extract is for everyone who wants to get the most out of the vital Maitake
mushroom.

Laboratory-verified quality and transparency
We believe that trust begins with openness. That's why every batch of
mushroom extracts used undergoes thorough laboratory testing, which verifies
their quality, purity, safety, and content of key bioactive compounds. Among
other things, microbiological safety, heavy metal content, pesticides,
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH),
and declared active substances such as beta-glucans or triterpenes are
controlled. By clicking on the link Quality

Maitake, the dancing mushroom for a strong centre and lightness of
the body
Maitake, or Grifola frondosa, is a mushroom that forms rich clusters
resembling a branched fan. In Japanese, its name means „dancing
mushroom“. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as Hui
Shu Hua.
From the perspective of TCM, Maitake is associated with harmonising
digestion, supporting the centre, and working with so-called dampness.
It is traditionally mentioned in connection with a feeling of heavy
body, fatigue after meals, and the need for gentle relief of the
body.
Maitake and scientific studies
Maitake is currently a subject of scientific interest in the field of
functional nutrition. Research focuses primarily on naturally occurring
substances in the fruiting bodies of Grifola frondosa, such as polysaccharides,
beta-glucans, glycoproteins, and other bioactive components.
In published studies, Maitake appears in connection with topics such as
gut microbiota, natural metabolic processes, and overall body
balance. Maitake can therefore be seen as a promising functional
mushroom for anyone interested in long-term body care, vitality, and
natural balance.
Why capsules
Capsules allow for convenient use and dosing, without demanding preparation,
measuring, or mixing. You can easily carry them and use them anywhere. For our
products, we use plant-based capsules suitable for vegans in size 1 – smaller
for easier swallowing.
What is a dual extract
Dual extracts from the Premium range are created by combining water and
alcohol extraction, which allows for a broader spectrum of naturally occurring
bioactive substances contained in mushrooms to be obtained. While water
extraction focuses primarily on polysaccharides, including beta-glucans, alcohol
extraction releases other valuable components, such as triterpenoids, sterols,
and other bioactive compounds.
Thanks to the combination of these two methods, a comprehensive extract is
created that respects the natural composition of the mushroom, but in a more
concentrated form with a higher proportion of health-beneficial substances and
better bioavailability. Our premium range of extracts is produced to certified
organic quality, without the use of synthetic additives and without any
unnecessary additives. We emphasise purity, the origin of raw materials, and
gentle processing to preserve the natural quality of this traditionally used
mushroom.
This product is a high-quality food supplement from natural sources with an
emphasis on purity, origin, and precise processing. The product does not contain
alcohol residues.
