Maitake in the form of powder/biomass is produced by grinding the dried fruit of the mushroom into a very fine powder using a special shellbroken method, which disrupts the chitin coating of the cell and releases bioactive substances. Compared to the extract, this form has a gentler action.
Maitake ( Grifola frondosa) is translated as dancing mushroom - this name comes from the reactions of the foragers who danced with joy when they found this amazing and highly valued mushroom. Maitake is a sickly parasitic fungus with an amniotic fluid that takes the form of a large cluster. This is made up of legs with up to many hundreds of conjoined hats.
The maitake, or lupine thistle, contains many biologically active compounds including beta-glucans, glycoproteins, grifolic acid, amino acids, etc.
From a Chinese medicine perspective, Maitake supports the center, strengthens the Pi (Spleen) and Wei (Stomach) and thus can purify the body and harmonize the metabolism.
It is also sometimes called the "preventive mushroom for old age".
We grow our Maitake on a substrate that is a mixture of sawdust, organic wheat bran, fresh soil, cane sugar and natural gypsum.

Just like you, we want to be absolutely sure that our mushrooms are 100% effective and safe. That's why we subject them to the most stringent tests on the market, not only for harmful substances, but also for effective ones such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans, terpenes, etc.
Mushrooms like to take in all sorts of substances from the environment in which they grow. In order to ensure that nothing unwanted gets into ours, we actually test them all the time: from harvesting to production to the finished product. You could say we are obsessed with testing.
We test MycoMedica mushrooms in laboratories in the USA, Ireland, Germany, as well as at the University of Science and Technology in Prague. We don't do random tests, but honestly test all mushroom raw material at all stages of the process. Top-notch facilities look for more than 350 harmful substances in mushrooms for us. For example:
The tests we carry out are far more demanding than those required by legislation. We can attach a report to each individual capsule and tell you exactly where it came from.
Our mushrooms have been achieving excellent results in tests for 15 years.
We also test the active ingredients
Testing the polysaccharide content of our vital mushrooms is standard procedure for us to ensure the highest quality products. We guarantee a high content of polysaccharides, the most effective component of which is betaglucans, which are known for their benefits to the immune system. This guarantees that our mushrooms are not only pure, but also maximally effective.
