Organic Maitake Mushroom Extract Powder

Many mushroom powders mention extraction ratios. Some products mention 1:1 extraction while others mention 8:1. A 1:1 extraction means that the producer used 1 kg of mushroom to make 1 kg of the product. Likewise for 8:1 extraction. The higher ratio may not always suggest the potency of the product, especially for Maitake.
The extraction ratio does not necessarily represent the effectiveness of the extraction or the quality of the original materials. The only real way to compare the potency of Maitake supplements is by a chemical analysis that measures the number of triterpenes, beta-glucans, and other mushroom-derived compounds.  

A high quality Maitake mushroom powder should be made from the whole fruiting body.

We want consumers to be cognisant of myceliated grain products that contain high amounts of grain or substrate filler. While they are still beneficial, more often than not, the mycelium mushroom product will need to be consumed at higher doses than pure fruiting-body products. 

Fruiting Body Must Be The Primary Component: Dr Noel’s Maitake mushroom Powder is made specifically only of the mushroom fruiting body. The fruiting body contains a higher concentration of the beneficial compounds like beta-glucans.

Some brands may advertise mycelium because it is cheaper and faster to produce compared to the fruiting body. Products where the primary component is mycelium, mycelium substrate, mycelial biomass, myceliated brown rice, or any other grains are often considered lower quality in comparison because of the substrate attached to it.

Our Maitake Mushrooms are Dao Di (also known as Di Dao or Di
Tao in the Western world) which signifies that it is grown in its authentic and
traditional environment, ensuring maximum potency and efficacy.

The term Dao Di lacks a perfect English translation but
combines 'Dao,' originally used for districts in ancient China, and 'Di,'
relating to soil and geography, roughly translating to geo-authentic.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Dao Di herbs are
celebrated for their superior quality and therapeutic effects. Historically,
specific regions were recognized for producing the best medicinal herbs due to
unique environmental conditions, traditional cultivation methods, and
historical legacy.

Factors that contribute to Dao Di status include:

Geographical Origin

The herb must be grown in a region with the ideal soil,
climate, and altitude.

Traditional Cultivation

Adherence to ancient methods of planting, harvesting, and
processing.

Purity and Potency

Herbs are tested for their active compounds to ensure they
meet the highest standards.

Using Dao Di Maitake mushrooms ensures you are receiving a
product that is authentic, potent, and of the highest quality, reflecting
centuries of Chinese medicinal heritage.

There is frequent discussion about the quality of health
foods and supplements coming from China. Yes, some main cities of China have
high rates of air pollution which is not ideal for soil quality, but this does
not mean Chinese medicinal mushroom products are low quality. In fact, it is
quite the opposite. The anti-Chinese sentiment around medicinal mushrooms is
quite contradictory to its medicinal historical Chinese roots. Unfortunately,
this sentiment is a marketing ploy for some opportunistic brands to promote
cheaper, inferior, locally grown products that can result in less
bioavailability, impacting the reduction of the health benefits that medicinal
mushrooms can truly offer.

With over 30 years of research and usage, our organic farm
and lab in rural China has some of the most potent medicinal mushroom products
in the global market, and also has one of the most sophisticated extraction
labs in the world.

Many Australian grown Maitake mushrooms are clone strains of
traditional Chinese Maitake,, according
to Dr Noel. If you see “Australian grown Maitake”, you can assume it is a
marketing gimmick, or it is a completely different species of Maitake. There is
no scientific evidence that the related Australian local mushroom species have
the same medicinal benefit as the authentic Maitake grown in China.
