Grifola Frondosa - Dancing Mushroom for Immune Support

Maitake (Grifola frondosa), also called “hen of the woods,” has a long history in Asia. In Japan it has been appreciated for generations—not only for its distinctive taste, but also for its role in traditional uses. Its nickname, the “King of Mushrooms,” reflects the high esteem in which it has been held. With this extract, the benefits of Maitake are available in a simple capsule.

The capsules contain a potent extract made entirely from fruiting body. Using a dual extraction method with water and ethanol, valuable compounds are preserved, including beta-glucans. These polysaccharides are widely studied for their link to vitality, energy, and immune support. In Japan, Maitake was traditionally used to strengthen resilience and bring balance to the body—an association that resonates with today’s interest in natural wellbeing.

Each capsule provides 400 mg of Maitake extract, standardized to 30% beta-glucans. This ensures consistent quality and dosage. The capsules are easy to swallow, vegan-friendly, and can be taken on their own or in combination with other mushroom extracts such as Reishi, Lion’s Mane, or Chaga. This flexibility allows users to explore which blend works best for their needs.

Main features: 100% fruiting body, standardized to 30% beta-glucans, full-spectrum extraction with water and ethanol, vegan-friendly, convenient capsule form.

What is the difference between Maitake and Shiitake mushroom extract?

While both Asian mushrooms contain beta-glucans, they have different application profiles. Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is especially known for its high content of D-fraction beta-glucans, which are specifically associated with immune activation and metabolic support. Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) contains lentinan and eritadenine in addition to beta-glucans, compounds more focused on overall vitality and gut health. Choose Maitake for targeted immune support, Shiitake for broader daily wellness.

Why is Maitake called the \'dancing mushroom\'?

The name Maitake literally means \'dancing mushroom\' in Japanese. According to legend, people danced with joy when they found this rare mushroom growing wild, because it was so highly valued. Wild Maitake can reach impressive sizes and grows at the base of old oak trees. In Japan it has been revered for centuries as the \'king of mushrooms\' due to its striking appearance and its reputation as an immune-boosting mushroom. Learn more in our article about the best medicinal mushrooms for your immune system.

How many Maitake capsules per day is the correct dosage?

The standard dosage is one to two capsules twice daily with meals, amounting to 800 to 1600 mg of Maitake extract per day. Start with the lower dose of one capsule twice daily and increase after a week if desired. Each capsule is standardized to 30% beta-glucans, meaning that at two capsules daily you receive a minimum of 240 mg beta-glucans per day.

Can I use Maitake extract together with Reishi or Chaga?

Yes, Maitake combines very well with other mushroom extracts. Adding Reishi provides adaptogenic and relaxing properties, while Chaga offers extra antioxidant protection. The beta-glucans in these mushrooms work via different receptors in the immune system and can therefore reinforce each other. Simply take the capsules together with meals. Discover which combinations suit you best in our overview of medicinal mushrooms for immune support.

What does \'30% beta-glucans standardized\' mean on the label?

This certification guarantees that each capsule contains a minimum of 30% beta-glucans by weight, amounting to at least 120 mg per 400 mg capsule. Beta-glucans are the biologically active polysaccharides responsible for the immune-stimulating properties of Maitake. Standardization ensures every batch has the same potency, unlike untested powders where the content can vary considerably.
