Solaray Maitake Mushroom

In Japan, maitake (pronounced my-tah-keh) mushrooms are highly prized both as food and medicine. People with serious degenerative illnesses travel long distances in search of the maitake mushroom. However, until recently, Western medicine has never viewed mushrooms as a treatment option for illness or disease. But the maitake mushroom has recently received increased clinical and research attention.

Recent research indicates that it is the most potent immunostimulant of all mushrooms. The compounds contained in maitake have the capacity to not only stimulate immune function, but also to inhibit tumor growth. These compounds include polysaccharides (such as beta glucan) and high-molecular weight sugar polymers.

Cancer Fighter Most research on maitake has been conducted relative to cancer regression. In one study, the polysaccharide "D-fraction" of maitake was used to treat both allogenic and syngeneic tumors in mice. A Winn assay revealed complete tumor inhibition. The amazing thing about this study is that the extract was administered orally, and not by injection as most mushroom extracts are.

Many researchers believe that maitake's anti-tumor activity is due to the effect its polysaccharide fraction has on the immune system.
