Maitake Mushroom

Maitake contains an impressive amount of polysaccharides, triterpenes and additional bioactive chemicals that are known to offer a wide range of health benefits. Research shows that its beta glucan content has immune-supporting effects as well as anti-viral properties. The mushroom's bioactive polysaccharides support the body in helping to ward off pathogens - particularly useful when there's a cold going around at the office, or you're experiencing stress and have a weakened immune system. As a beneficial adaptogen, Maitakehelps to promote natural balance and healthy stress response in the body. In another study, Maitake has also been shown to support healthy blood sugar levels, help reduce insulin and support weight management.
