The Harvest Table Maitake Mushroom Powder 180g

Maitake Mushroom Powder

The Maitake mushroom (“dancing mushroom” in Japanese) offers a wealth of health benefits, including immune system support, powerful anti-tumour properties, digestive support, blood sugar and blood pressure balance, and nervous system support.

Most of the Maitake’s health benefits seem to come from one main source. They contain beta-glucan, a polysaccharide compound thought to nourish the immune system by activating effector cells like macrophages, natural killer cells, and T cells. In addition to their role in general immunity, these types of antibodies also act against abnormal cells. The polysaccharide is also thought to be the source of the mushroom’s ability to possibly support healthy blood sugar levels.

Key benefits of the Maitake mushroom:

• Strengthens the immune system; enhances protection against bacterial & viral infections
• Activates macrophages (blood cells that consume mutated cells); this helps the body to combat the growth of tumour cells
• Supports blood sugar regulation & metabolism (helps with weight management)
• Helps to lower blood pressure & regulate cholesterol; promotes a healthy heart
• Acts as a digestive tonic by improving the function of the gastrointestinal system
• Strengthens the nervous system; a natural nerve tonic
• Promotes better skin health
• Assists with weight management (when used to supplement a balanced diet)
• Supports healthy energy levels
• Aids digestion by regulating the stomach & intestines & helps eliminate food stagnation

Maitake mushrooms are also a natural source of minerals like potassium, calcium and magnesium, B vitamins, and amino acids. With all that and the fact that they taste great too, it’s more than worth checking out this exotic fungal gem.
