Maitake Mushroom Extract

What is Maitake Mushroom Extract?

Maitake Mushroom Extract is classed as a polypore, a mushroom without the common feature of a singular cap and gills. Instead, it has multiple branching stems with flowery-ruffed caps. The underside of these caps is covered with a thin layer of densely packed pores. common name is lotus flower, because of the shape is like dance skirt, so Japanese name it as dance mushroom.

Maitake Mushroom Extract is rich in polysaccharides (glucans), lectins and precursors of nucleic acid, which can be beneficial for the immune system. Remarkable is the high amount of ergosterol, the precursor of vitamin D. Vitamin D improves the resorption of calcium, which is of importance for the bone formation. Maitake mushroom extract is a choice edible that only recently has been utilized for its medicinal properties. Today it is extensively cultivated on sawdust substrates.

Maitake Mushroom Extract Benefits

1) Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

In women with PCOS, the ovaries produce more male reproductive hormones, which may cause acne, weight gain, and reduced fertility.A product containing the SX-fraction and maitake powder helped induce ovulation and increased the effectiveness of standard treatment (clomiphene citrate) in 80 women with PCOS. When taken alone, the maitake product was less effective than clomiphene.

2) Immunity

Patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have impaired bone marrow function, which reduces their blood cell counts and increases the risk of infection. In 18 MDS patients, maitake extract enhanced the production and activity of neutrophils and monocytes, thus improving their immune response.

In 34 older breast cancer patients, post-treatment supplementation with a Maitake Mushroom Extract boosted some immunity parameters but suppressed others. The authors called for further research on maitake's immune-modulating effects.

Studies in animals and test tubes indicate the potential of maitake polysaccharides to stimulate the bone marrow and increase the activity of white blood cells. A combination with another medicinal mushroom, shiitake, may be even more potent.

The D-fraction (beta-glucan) is primarily responsible for the observed immune-boosting activities.

Maitake mushrooms can help recover the bone marrow and increase the activity of white blood cells, which makes them a potent immuno-stimulant.
