Extraction
To make sure that you are getting the strongest maitake extract we’ve developed the Extraction 2.0 method - this includes hot water and alcohol extraction with Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction.
Mushroom cell walls are made of chitin, a natural fibrous substance indigestible in the human gut. The chitin cell walls can be partially broken down with alcohol. We are using industry leading Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE) technology. With the combination of water, alcohol and UAE we are able to draw water soluble and alcohol soluble compounds out of the mushrooms. The UAE method of extraction allows us to extract the important compounds of maitake more effectively and enhance the bioavailability of the Compounds of Interest in our mushroom tincture.
Therefore, extraction is fundamental in creating pure and potent mushroom extracts.
Mushroom fruiting bodies only
100% Finnish. No mycelium, no fillers, only fruiting bodies used. Check out our Learn section for why we use mushroom fruiting bodies only in our tinctures.

Maitake mushroom is a powerful health promoting mushroom that is currently extremely popular in Asia because of its life-promoting benefits. Like Agaricus, Shitake and Reishi, it is rich in the beta-D-glucan polysaccharides that have been demonstrated to be potent immune potentiators. Maitake has been clearly demonstrated to possess immune stimulating, tumor inhibiting qualities. Recent research indicates that Maitake D-fraction provides a number of immune actions: activating cellular immunity, stopping normal cells from carcinogenesis, inhibiting tumor growth, preventing tumor metastasis, and working together with chemotherapy to relieve side effects. Maitake has also been shown to the ability to lower high blood pressure. Animal studies indicate that Maitake is effective for diabetes and human studies have shown that Maitake can help reduce body weight in overweight individuals. Maitake has recently been categorized as an adaptogenic herb, thus helping to normalize body functions.
Herbal extracts are an excellent way of getting the nutrition and goodness from a herb, without the trouble of sometimes elaborate preparation. They are also a way of getting the goodness in as concentrated a form as possible.
How are herbal extracts made?
The raw herbs are prepared by hot water extraction, the water is then evaporated off until all that is lelf is the essential oils and active ingredients. These are then bound together in an excipient, small amounts of non-GM corn flour. This is the most pure and unadulterated way to enjoy tonic herbal extracts possible.

Directions: these tonic herbs are food grade and safe to use as you would culinary herbs. They can be added to any foods or drinks. Suggested uses are either to add 1/2 a teaspoon to a healthy juice or smoothie, or to prepare them as an instant tonic tea, but simply putting 1/2 a teaspoon in a cup or mug, and adding hot water.
Recommended upper limit: do not exceed 1 teaspoon of herbal extract today unless guided to by a qualified healthcare professional.
