Maitake (Hen of the Woods) Dual-Extract Tincture
2 oz. | +/- 50% ABV

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is a medicinal mushroom traditionally used for immune and metabolic support. This tincture is made from wild-foraged maitake and prepared using a dual-extraction method to capture both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble constituents.

We use a 1:2 extraction ratio, producing a highly concentrated extract with a broad spectrum of bioactive compounds.

Key Constituents

Beta-glucans, including well-studied fractions associated with immune modulation

Polysaccharides extracted via hot-water extraction

Alcohol-soluble compounds, including sterols and phenolic constituents

Potential Benefits

Research suggests maitake may support:

Immune system regulation, particularly innate immune response

Metabolic health, including glucose metabolism

Anti-inflammatory activity

Overall immune resilience during periods of stress or illness

Maitake is often described as an immune-modulating mushroom, meaning it may help balance immune response rather than simply stimulate it.
