NFH Maitake SAP, 60 Capsules

NFH Maitake SAP is a hot-water extracted medicinal mushroom — 500 mg, 40% polysaccharides providing 40% beta-glucans — also known as "hen of the woods" or "king of mushrooms," and eaten across Asia for thousands of years.

What sets maitake apart among mushrooms

Maitake is unique among culinary-medicinal mushrooms in having both a long history as a food and a distinct research focus on its beta-glucan fraction, sometimes called D-fraction in the scientific literature. It's used in herbal medicine to support the immune system, with additional antioxidant properties layered on top of that primary immune focus.

Often chosen by

• Anyone supporting immune function through a food-derived botanical
• People interested in medicinal mushrooms with a long culinary history
• Those building a general wellness routine around adaptogenic and immune-supportive mushrooms

Format and exclusions

60 vegetable capsules per bottle, 1 capsule daily with food. Non-GMO, and made without gluten, dairy, soy, or artificial additives.

Before you start

Maitake may have a mild blood-sugar-lowering and blood-thinning effect; check with a healthcare practitioner if you're on related medication. Store in a cool, dry place, and keep out of reach of children.
