【Specification】: Beta d glucan, β-glucan 30%( tested by Magezyme reagent kit)
【Appearance】: Brownish yellow fine powder
【Particle size】: 95% pass 80 mesh size
【Indications of maitake extract】: Maitake polysaccharide is an extract from Grifola frondosa, which is composed of a complex of oligosaccharides such as glucan, glucose, xylose, fucose, xylose, mannose, lactose, and a small amount of protein. Grey tree flower polysaccharides contain a protein polysaccharide called D-fraction, which has a ratio of 7:3 protein to polysaccharide and an average molecular weight of 1 million. The polysaccharide portion is composed of β- (1-3) Side chain β- (1-6) Glucan and its derivatives β- (1-6) Side chain β- (1-3) Composition of glucan. Among the polysaccharide components, only this type of Maitake root has the most anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects.

The pharmacological effects of Maitake Extract
The research results show that maitake/Grifola frondosa polysaccharide plays its anti-tumor role mainly by enhancing the cellular immune function. At the gene level, this product has a strong anti chemical mutagenic effect, which can be used for the comprehensive treatment of chronic hepatitis B and malignant tumors after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, such as fatigue, leukopenia, decreased immune function, and has a certain role in the prevention of AIDS. Clinically, the polysaccharides from Grifola frondosa are orally effective, safe, and non-toxic.

Maitake polysaccharides have anti-tumor, antihypertensive, hypoglycemic, anti obesity, and anti hepatitis effects. According to on-site experiments conducted by some specialized cancer treatment hospitals in the United States, while chemotherapy is used to treat cancer, the use of Grifola polysaccharides to inhibit cancer cells is more effective than chemotherapy alone. Japanese medical experts conducted in vivo anti-tumor experiments using polysaccharides from Grifola frondosa, and the results showed that the inhibition rate of Grifola frondosa polysaccharides could reach 86.5%, which is 32% higher than the internationally certified anti-cancer drug shiitake mushroom polysaccharides.

The National Cancer Institute of the United States has confirmed as early as 1992 that the extract of Grifola frondosa has the effect of resisting AIDS virus. Dr. Nambo Hongming of Japan found that Grifola frondosa has anti HIV effect in experiments, and also found that Grifola frondosa has curative effect on breast cancer, lung cancer and liver cancer; It can also improve various adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy for tumors, such as loss of appetite, vomiting, nausea, hair loss, and reduced white blood cells; It can also relieve pain. In addition, research has also confirmed that Grifola frondosa has the following effects.

Maitake extract is famous for its ability to enhance the immune system, help prevent and resist discomfort caused by colds and influenza, maintain liver and kidney function, promote disease recovery, help the body cope with environmental stress, regulate immunity and kill cells to enhance conventional anti-cancer treatment, combat neutropenia, and improve survival rates.

1.Strengthen the immune system
Although the true mechanism by which polysaccharides activate the immune system remains controversial, it has been confirmed that different polysaccharides can stimulate T-cell function, natural killer (NK) cells, and macrophage activity. T-cells are a type of white blood cells that can “engulf” pathogens such as yeast cells, bacteria, cells infected with viruses, and so on. Macrophages are concentrated in the mucosal layer of the body, especially in the digestive, urinary, and respiratory systems. Polysaccharides also play a supportive and reinforcing role in the reticuloendothelial system, as they allow immune cells (including macrophages) to penetrate into the spleen, liver, and lymphatic tissues, engulfing waste and toxic chemicals.

2.Anti cancer
Maitake extract polysaccharides can activate immune responses such as macrophages, natural killer cells, T-lymphocytes, as well as lymphokines and interleukins. These properties make it suitable for treating cancer. Research has shown that it can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, and animal experiments have also shown that Grey Tree Flower can shrink tumors. In a study, compared to other previously detected natural substances. Grey tree flower has been proven to be the most effective inducer of cancer cell apoptosis (cell death).

3.Reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and arteriosclerosis
The effective components in the polysaccharides of Grifola frondosa, such as beta (1-3) D-glucan and beta (1-6) D-glucan protein compounds, have a positive effect on reducing blood glucose (sugar). Unsaturated fatty acids such as triglycerides, which are contained in the extract of ash tree flowers, also have the effect of reducing blood sugar, cholesterol, and atherosclerosis.
