Maitake

The dancing mushroom — an all-round daily tonic.

In Japan, Maitake means “dancing mushroom” — said to be what foragers did when they found one. Prized for centuries as both a delicacy and a tonic, it is best known for its unique polysaccharide fractions. A versatile, all-round mushroom for everyday wellbeing.

Key Benefits

• Traditionally used in Japan as an all-round wellbeing tonic
• Contains the distinctive D-fraction and MD-fraction polysaccharides
• Traditionally used to support the body’s natural defences
• Rich in ergothioneine and B-vitamins
• Easy to take any time of day

Why Ours Is Different

Standardised to D-fraction content — the polysaccharide fraction most research has focused on. Not all maitake extracts contain meaningful levels of it; ours does.

How To Use

Shake well before each use, as natural separation occurs. Take 2–4 full pipettes daily, split into two servings — for example, 2 in the morning and 2 later in the day. Hold under the tongue for around 10 seconds, then swallow, or add to a small amount (approx. 50ml) of liquid and take as a shot.

Who It’s For

Anyone wanting one versatile daily mushroom rather than a shelf full of supplements.

What To Expect

Maitake works steadily over time. Most people take it daily for 4 to 8 weeks alongside a healthy lifestyle.
