Maitake Mushroom (Grifola Frondosa) is an edible mushroom of East Asia and North America. It grows in large, ruffled clusters at the base of trees, which is why it is commonly called hen of the woods; the Japanese name maitake means "dancing mushroom." The part used here is the mushroom - the fruiting body. Maitake is a prized gourmet edible mushroom.

Grifola frondosa - Maitake, Hen of the Woods

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is one of the most recognizable woodland mushrooms, its ruffled, overlapping caps clustered like a fluffed hen at the base of old trees. Our Maitake extract captures the dried fruiting body in a concentrated, alcohol-free liquid.

About our Maitake Extract:

We start with quality maitake mushroom and, unlike alcohol-based products, our formula is 100% alcohol-free, using a gentle vegetable glycerin base. It is a whole-mushroom extract - not an isolate - carrying the mushroom's natural profile. This is Grifola frondosa, the hen of the woods.

Suggested use: Shake well before use. Adults take 20-30 drops (approximately 1 ml, one full squeeze of the dropper) in 2 oz of water, tea, or juice, up to three times a day, or as directed by your practitioner. See the safety information below. Drink the entire contents.*

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRODUCT:

Main Ingredients: Maitake Mushroom (Grifola Frondosa) Dried Fruiting Body.

Other ingredients: vegetable glycerin USP, crystal clear water.

Additional information about ingredients: Contains NO alcohol, gluten, or artificial color.

Suggested Use: Do not use if seal is broken or missing. Store in a cool, dry place.

Safety information: Maitake is a food mushroom and is generally well tolerated. If you are allergic to mushrooms, do not use it.

Maitake may also affect blood sugar, so use caution and monitor your levels if you have diabetes or take blood-sugar medication. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant or nursing, or take any medications, consult your doctor before use. Discontinue use and consult your practitioner if any adverse reaction occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Maitake Extract
What is Maitake (Grifola frondosa) mushroom extract?
Maitake is an edible mushroom of East Asia and North America, botanically Grifola frondosa. It grows in large, ruffled clusters at the base of trees, which is why it is commonly called hen of the woods; the Japanese name maitake means "dancing mushroom." The part used here is the mushroom - the fruiting body. Maitake is a prized gourmet edible mushroom, and it naturally contains polysaccharides, including beta-glucans. Our extract is offered in two forms - an alcohol-free glycerite and a traditional alcohol-based tincture - each from carefully sourced raw material. This is a whole-mushroom liquid extract that carries the mushroom's natural spectrum of constituents, not an isolated or standardized single-compound product, and we label it clearly by botanical name and part.
What is the difference between the alcohol-free and tincture versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Grifola frondosa mushroom; only the solvent differs. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, suited to those who avoid alcohol. The tincture uses alcohol as the traditional solvent, with vegetable glycerin and water. Both deliver the mushroom's constituents in a convenient liquid you take by the drop. Choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture for a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life.
Is this the cooking mushroom, D-fraction, or chicken of the woods?
Three clarifications help here. First, the cooking mushroom: maitake, or hen of the woods, is a beloved edible mushroom foraged and cooked in many cuisines; our product is a concentrated liquid supplement extract of the mushroom, not the culinary mushroom you cook with. Second, D-fraction: maitake is also the source of isolated fractions sold on their own - such as D-fraction, MD-fraction, and SX-fraction - which are concentrated single-fraction products; our product is different, a whole-mushroom extract of the fruiting body, not those isolated fractions. Third, the name: hen of the woods (Grifola frondosa) is a different mushroom from chicken of the woods (Laetiporus), the bright orange bracket fungus - foragers sometimes confuse the two. We label our product clearly by botanical name (Grifola frondosa) and part (mushroom fruiting body).
How do I use Maitake liquid extract?
Shake well before use. Adults take 20-30 drops (approximately 1 ml, one full squeeze of the dropper) in 2 oz of water, tea, or juice, up to 3 times daily, or as directed by your practitioner. See the safety note below. Drink the entire contents.
Is Maitake extract right for everyone? Safety and storage.
Maitake is a food mushroom and is generally well tolerated, but a few notes apply. If you are allergic to mushrooms, do not use it. Some people notice mild digestive upset, such as gas, with mushroom products. Because maitake can interact with the immune system, use caution and speak with your practitioner first if you have an autoimmune condition or take medication that suppresses the immune system. It may also affect blood sugar, so use caution and monitor your levels if you have diabetes or take blood-sugar medication. If you are pregnant or nursing, take any medication, or have a medical condition, also consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children, and do not exceed the suggested serving. This alcohol-free glycerite is best refrigerated after opening.
