Function
- Grifola frondosa extract has the effect of inhibiting hypertension and obesity;
- Because it is rich in iron, copper and vitamin C,Maitake extract can prevent anemia, scurvy, vitiligo, and prevent arteriosclerosis and cerebral thrombosis;
- Maitake extract powder has high selenium and chromium content, which can protect the liver and pancreas, and prevent liver cirrhosis and diabetes;
- The high selenium content enables Grifola frondosa powder to prevent Keshan disease, Kachin-Beck disease, and certain heart diseases;
- Grifola frondosa extract contains both calcium and vitamin D. The combination of the two can effectively prevent rickets; the higher zinc content is beneficial to brain development, maintains sharp vision, and promotes wound healing;
- The combination of a high content of vitamin E and selenium enables Maitake extract to resist aging, enhance memory and sensitivity.
Application
1.Dietary Supplement Industry
Usage: Immune support capsules, wellness tablets, powder blends, functional beverages.
Recommended addition: 500–2,000 mg per serving, depending on formulation and target population. Standardized polysaccharide content ensures consistent formulation performance.
