Traditional use of Maitake

Maitake (grifola frondosa), also known as 'hen of the woods', owes his name to a special story. The Japanese name Maitake is divided into two words: ‘Mai’, meaning 'dancing' and ‘Take’ meaning 'mushroom'. All together Maitake means; dancing mushroom.

Dancing mushroom

For thousands of years, Maitake has been used in Japan as both a food and a medicine. It is speculated that in ancient feudal Japan, local landlords gave their subjects an equivalent weight in silver in exchange for Maitake. The subjects would have spontaneously began dancing of joy when they found Maitake mushrooms, knowing that they would receive a wonderful reward for it.

Secret harvest areas

There is also a story that the Maitake mushroom was so highly prized in Japan that skilled mushroom seekers kept their harvesting areas strictly secret. The locations were only revealed in the wills of the mushroom seekers after they had died. It took a long time before Maitake was commercially cultivated due to these long-kept secrets.

Maitake is also rich in vitamins and minerals, which are:

Extraction

1 kg of dried organic Maitake mushrooms is used to make 20 liters of Maitake Mushroom Extract. There is about 100mg of concentrated Maitake in the maximum intake of 2ml of Maitake Mushroom Extract per day.

Dried fruiting bodies

KÄÄPÄ Health processes dried rather than fresh Maitake fruiting bodies in this tincture which results in an even higher concentration of active ingredients.
