Mycospring MaitakeSupports immunity, balance, and vitality
Also known as the “dancing mushroom” for the joy it inspired in Japan, Maitake is among the most celebrated medicinal mushrooms worldwide. With its rich flavor and exceptional concentration of active compounds—especially beta-glucans—it has long been valued in traditional healing practices. Today, Maitake is one of the most researched mushrooms, recognized for its powerful effects on immunity, metabolism, and hormonal balance.
At Mycospring, our Maitake is cultivated under strict, controlled conditions, using 100% fruiting bodies only—never mycelium, never additives. The result: maximum potency, purity, and effectiveness in every serving.

Science-backed benefits
Clinical studies suggest that Maitake extracts may boost the activity of immune cells (NK cells), support healthy blood sugar levels, and reduce insulin resistance—particularly in individuals at risk of type 2 diabetes.
Research also indicates that specific compounds in Maitake may help regulate female hormonal balance and improve quality of life during menopause. In addition, Maitake is being studied for its potential to strengthen the immune response to infections and to support the body during times of physiological stress.
Who can benefit most?
improve metabolic balance (blood sugar and lipid levels), and help the body cope during challenging times. It may also benefit women in menopause who want gentle, natural support for hormonal balance, individuals experiencing low energy, and anyone looking for overall vitality without adding extra strain to the body.
Maitake also pairs well with other mushrooms—for example, with Turkey Tail for enhanced immune support, or with Reishi for calming balance.
Maitake in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
In Chinese and Japanese medical traditions, Maitake was regarded as a “power mushroom”—strengthening qi (life energy), supporting the immune system, and helping balance blood sugar and cholesterol levels. It was traditionally used to restore strength in times of weakness, boost vitality, and improve resistance to seasonal illnesses. Maitake was also seen as a “great balancer”: a mushroom that fortifies the body gently, without overstimulation, fostering harmony and resilience over time.
Unlike any other
Maitake is known as one of the most challenging mushrooms to cultivate—sensitive, requiring highly controlled conditions, and slow to mature. Its impact on the body is equally measured: steady, gentle, and deeply balancing. For those seeking smart support for the immune system, along with healthy regulation of blood sugar, fats, and hormones—without overstressing the body—Maitake delivers. Quietly. In its own way.

Can Maitake support healthy blood sugar balance?

How is Maitake different from Cordyceps?
Maitake is known for its balancing qualities—supporting immunity, metabolism, and overall resilience. Cordyceps, on the other hand, is prized for boosting energy, vitality, and physical endurance.
