BrainMax Pure Maitake powder, 100g
Maitake is one of the medicinal mushrooms and it is also a powerful adaptogen. Adaptogens are a group of plants that survive all weather conditions and, simply put, have adapted to the surrounding conditions. They protect us from stress and overall harmonize our body and mind. The fungus grows wild in parts of Japan, China and North America. It grows in the trunk of oaks, elms and maples. It is a perennial fungus that grows in the same place year after year, as long as it is undisturbed. As an edible mushroom, it has an interesting structure and an earthy taste.
Maitake was a highly prized commodity in feudal Japan, where local lords traded their subjects for the same weight for maitake. Maitake contains antioxidants, beta-glucans, vitamin C and the minerals copper and potassium. It also contains Niacin (vitamin B3, also vitamin PP), which is the sister of the well-known NMN , grifolin. In addition, Maitake is rich in fiber and amino acids , especially glutamine, alanine, threonine, lysine, valine and arginine . Maitake is characterized by a high content of ergosterol , which is a precursor of vitamin D.
