Maitake Extracts and Their Therapeutic Potential - A Review
@inproceedings{Mayell2001MaitakeEA, title={Maitake Extracts and Their Therapeutic Potential - A Review}, author={M. Mayell}, year={2001} }
Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is the Japanese name for an edible fungus with a large fruiting body characterized by overlapping caps. It is a premier culinary as well as medicinal mushroom. Maitake is increasingly being recognized as a potent source of polysaccharide compounds with dramatic health-promoting potential. The most recent development is the MD-fraction, a proprietary maitake extract its Japanese inventors consider to be a notable advance upon the preceding D-fraction. The D-fraction… Expand
