Maitake Mushroom

Maitake is a functional mushroom (Grifola frondosa), also known as hen of the woods, supplied by Nustras as a fruiting-body powder and as a standardised extract for immune-support and functional-food formulations. It is a recognised source of beta-glucans and other polysaccharides, the markers to which premium maitake extracts are standardised.

Maitake powder and extract are formulated into immune-support and functional-mushroom supplements, mushroom-blend products, and functional foods and beverages, in capsules, tablets and powders.

The material is supplied as a light-brown fruiting-body powder or as an extract standardised to its beta-glucan (polysaccharide) content to order. Identity, beta-glucan assay, moisture, heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies maitake in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags or fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Maitake is an accepted food and botanical dietary ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the form, beta-glucan standardisation and claim for their product.
