Maitake Spagyric Extract

Maitake mushroom, also known as Hen of the Woods, has long been used in Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine and diet. It is commonly found growing at the base of Oak and Maple trees and is prized in culinary circles for its flavor and versatility. Moreover, Maitake also boasts numerous health benefits, especially for the digestive and cardiovascular systems. Like all other medicinal mushrooms, Maitake is rich in polysaccharides which help support immune function. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is considered a Qi tonic, acting on the spleen and stomach meridians which are associated with digestion and general metabolism. Helvetia’s mushroom spagyric extracts are dual extracted to achieve a full spectrum of both water and alcohol soluble active compounds.
