Maitake Extract
Host Defense Mushrooms
Overview
This Maitake extract combines mycelium and fruit body extracts, each having different bioactive compounds. Research suggests potential benefits for immune function and anti-tumor activity.

Further human trials are needed to fully validate these claims.
