Dr. Nanba's Maitake-Pro
Planetary Herbals
Overview
Dr. Nanba's Maitake-Pro features Maitake, a well-researched medicinal mushroom, in a blend combining fruiting body and mycelia biomass, including a specific beta-glucan fraction (MaitakeGold 404). While Maitake generally shows promise for immune support, the precise efficacy of this blend is somewhat obscured by the use of proprietary forms and the detailed breakdown of active compounds is not fully transparent.
The Good
Features Maitake, a mushroom with robust research for immune support.
Includes MaitakeGold 404, implying a standardized beta-glucan component.
Combines both fruiting body and mycelia for a broader spectrum of compounds.
The Bad
Proprietary blend (Maitake Blend) lacks transparency regarding specific component ratios and active concentrations, hindering precise efficacy evaluation.
Maitake Mycelia Biomass is less well-studied for clinical efficacy compared to fruiting body extracts.
The dosage of the beta-glucan fraction is not explicitly stated in milligrams, making it hard to compare with research doses.
