What Is The % Of Polysaccharides In The Maitake Powder?

Our Maitake contain 50% polysaccharides. 

This helps you to boost your immune health. And suppresses inflammation – so your body can fight infections more easily.

What Is The Fruiting Body? Is It Different From Mycelium?

Fruiting Body:

What you would visually recognize as a mushroom. It’s fleshy and contains spores.

Usually grows above ground or directly on the surface of its host – like a tree or old log.

Made up of a stem, cap, and gills. It’s what you might eat in a culinary dish.

Mycelium:

The main body and feeding membrane of a mushroom. 

It grows underground or within the host plant.

Think of it like the ‘roots’ of the mushroom. 

Is Antioxi's Maitake Made Up Of Fruiting Body Or Mycelium? 

The product is a 100% fruiting body extract.

This gives you a higher concentration of the mushroom’s healthy components. So you can get more bang for your buck. And improve your wellbeing.

If you’re looking for nutritional goodness from our Maitake– then the fruiting body is where the magic is. 

I’m Confused -- What’s The Difference Between The Raw Mushroom, The Powder And The Powder Extract?

Here’s a simplified summary of each:

Raw mushroom = the whole mushroom.

Mushroom powder = dried mushrooms -- ground into powder. Goes into giant pressure cookers - that pre-digest the cell walls.

Mushroom powder extract = dried mushrooms -- ground into powder. The powder is cooked with water/alcohol, so that the medicinal compounds can be extracted. A spray dryer removes the liquid - leaving you with a fully-active powder.

Antioxi’s Maitake products are powder extracts. Here’s why that’s beneficial to you. 
The long-term cooking process allows for…
1. Better control over the mushroom’s medicinal properties that remain in the final product. So your quick intake can go a long way. And improve your health.
2. Beta D Glucans can be up to 15 times more concentrated in powder extracts - compared to powders. 
So you can benefit from more natural immune-boosters.
3. Easier access for your body to the medicinal goodness. And easier absorption too.
 

Should I Get The Maitake Capsules Or The Powder? Which Is Better?

They’re both essentially the same. Only their forms are different.

The powder = mushroom powder extract.

The capsules = mushroom powder extract – in capsule form.

So really, it comes down to your personal preference.

Don’t mind taking tablets with a good ol’ glass of water? → By all means, get the capsules.
Prefer to mix powders in your smoothies, tea, coffee etc? → Then go for the powdered version.

Either way – you’ll enjoy the same medicinal benefits!

How Are The Nutrients Extracted From Mushrooms? 

Simply put -- during the extraction process, the mushroom’s nutrients are dissolved as much as possible. 
This can be done with...

-Hot Water

-Alcohol

-Both (Double Extraction)

Antioxi’s Maitake products have a water-based extraction. This helps dissolve the most Beta-Glucans – which is the ingredient that helps balance your immune system.

Which Extraction Method Is The Best? 

Great question! It’s a good idea to find out the extraction method for the product you’re thinking of buying.

Why? Well, because the extraction affects both the quality AND effectiveness of your supplement.

Our research has found the following.

Hot water extraction works best for...

Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Shiitake & Maitake mushroom products

Double (alcohol & water) extraction works best for...

Reishi & Chaga as well as Lion's Mane mushroom products

Where are the Mushrooms sourced from?

We’re open about our mushrooms being sourced from China. In fact, in China mushroom usage has a rich history. Going on a 1000 years!
You see - in Europe, it wouldn’t be doable (re: climate, economics, resources) to grow *genuine* mushrooms for supplements. 

And remember: all products have been tested for elements such as heavy metals. No toxins here. 
If you ask, we’re happy to send the lab reports. 

Is It Safe To Consume This During Pregnancy? 

If you’re pregnant – or trying to conceive – we recommend consulting your doctor before taking Maitake. The same applies to any of our products. Just be safe! 

Maitake can help activate your immune system cells. As well as your blood cells.
Just like those guys who signal for the train to go… Maitake tells your immune system to go forth and do its job.

Which is super helpful if you get chronic inflammation in your body. Or a nasty infection.
So sit back and relaaax. Let Maitake improve your wellbeing.

Maitake lowers your glucose levels. And this helps lower your cholesterol too. Yippee!
The science behind it -- 
A study (using rats) found that Maitake increased faecal cholesterol excretion. And enhanced the hepatic LDL receptor MRNA.
To translate that into normal-people-talk -- 
Maitake helps your liver break down ‘bad’ cholesterol. And passes it out of your body as waste. 
So you can… ahem, see your cholesterol guests out - through the back door. 
Overall, Maitake helps you manage your cholesterol levels. And feel more in control, as you age. 
A simple solution -- that doesn’t require you to overdose on oily fish.

Do you live with diabetes? 
As you know, your body struggles to get sugar from blood into cells.
Which results in high blood sugar levels… AKA high glucose levels.

Luckily, Maitake helps to lower your glucose levels. 
This helps keep your body more stable. And helps you feel more in control!

• Context -- One clinical study involved 165 people (aged 25-65) diagnosed with various stages III-IV cancers. 
  They were given Maitake D-fraction with crude Maitake powder tablets only or alongside chemotherapy.

Results -- Tumor regression or significant improvements were observed among: 11/15 breast cancer patients, 12/18 lung cancer patients and 7/15 liver cancer patients. 
If taken with chemotherapy, these response rates improved by 12-28%. 
In several cases with both liver and lung cancer, the patients went from dangerous stage III status to more manageable stages.

• Further studies have found that chemotherapy’s side-effects were eased – with the help of Maitake. 
  We understand that these side-effects are tiring and difficult - like loss of appetite, vomiting, nausea and hair loss. And hope that Maitake can make it easier to bear for you.

So overall, if you’re undertaking chemotherapy treatment… Maitake might help you boost the good stuff. And reduce the bad side-effects.
