History of Use

Maitake, also known as “Hen of the Woods,” has a rich history of use in Japan for its immune-boosting properties. Maitake translates to “dancing mushroom,” and in feudal Japan, it was worth its weight in silver. It’s said that foragers would dance with joy whenever they came across this mushroom in the forest. Maitake is traditionally used to support immune function by providing a rich dose of vitamins, minerals, polysaccharides, and antioxidants to the body. 

Proudly Sourced from China 

Before entering a professional relationship with a farmer or grower, we carefully review their organic growing, harvesting, and processing practices to ensure they meet our high standards for quality and ethics. Our decision to source from China and Siberia is made mindfully and with deep consideration of purity, potency, and quality. 

These regions have a long-established history of traditional mushroom cultivation that spans back over thousands of years, including the development of rigorous standards that ensure the fruiting bodies are high in polysaccharide profiles and contain measurable amounts of other key active compounds. 

Our Difference 

Our Maitake is cultivated organically and sustainably using traditional growing methods, without the use of agricultural chemicals. It undergoes rigorous testing and quality control is maintained throughout the entire process. Our mushrooms are processed using advanced technology and a sophisticated grading system. Hot water and/or alcohol are used to extract the active compounds from mushroom fruiting bodies. Our Maitake is free from mycelium, grain, starch, and fillers.
