"Bioactive Ingredients and Medicinal Values of Grifola frondosa (Maitake)"

"Grifola frondosa (G. frondosa), generally known as hen-of-the-woods or maitake in Japanese and hui-shu-hua in Chinese, is an edible mushroom with both nutritional and medicinal properties. This review provides an up-to-date and comprehensive summary of research findings on its bioactive constituents, potential health benefits and major structural characteristics. Since the discovery of the D-fraction more than three decades ago, many other polysaccharides, including β-glucans and heteroglycans, have been extracted from the G. frondosa fruiting body and fungal mycelium, which have shown significant antitumor and immunomodulatory activities. Another class of bioactive macromolecules in G. frondosa is composed of proteins and glycoproteins, which have shown antitumor, immunomodulation, antioxidant and other activities. A number of small organic molecules such as sterols and phenolic compounds have also been isolated from the fungus and have shown various bioactivities. It can be concluded that the G. frondosa mushroom provides a diverse array of bioactive molecules that are potentially valuable for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications. More investigation is needed to establish the structure–bioactivity relationship of G. frondosa and to elucidate the mechanisms of action behind its various bioactive and pharmacological effects."

WHAT DOES THE 15:1 - 8:1 EXTRACTION RATIO MEAN:

The extraction report of each medicinal mushroom extract identifies the initial amount of dried mushroom used to arrive at the final product. For example, our 15:1 extracts are produced from 15 kg of dried mushroom fruit bodies. The extraction method uses hot water and/or alcohol to separate the different bioactive compounds (different types of Polysaccharides - Beta Glucans - Terpenes - Triterpenes etc ...) This liquid obtained is then dried by a spray method until 1 kg of a powerful pure mushroom extract is obtained with all the beneficial compounds of the original 15 kg of dried mushrooms. The diversity of the extraction ratio varies depending on the fungus treated. The whole process takes place in a high-tech factory to ensure the highest quality in terms of safety and certified power of the extracts. The analyzes performed on all our batches in Italian laboratories guarantee the complete absence of chemical residues.
