Product Description

Maitake Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is a mushroom of the family Polyporaceae in the phylum Basidiomycota and is widely eaten in Japan. Although all of the hot-water-soluble polysaccharides found in mushrooms have anti-tumor activity, maitake are noted for their high level of effectiveness through ingestion. In addition, maitake are said to help inhibit hypertension, hyperglycemia and obesity. At Bizen, we extract the active ingredients contained in maitake with hot water, and concentrate and powderize them to make "Bizen Maitake Extract Powder"
