MyPure™ Maitake

For thousands of years, mushrooms have been used by the world’s great holistic traditions for their health benefits. Today, countless Americans use them as supplements. However, most “mushroom” products are not mushrooms at all. They are mycelia.

Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi that grow up through the ground. Mycelia are root-like structures that grow underground. Because mycelia that grows in the wild are too fragile to harvest, those in supplements are grown in plastic bags on rice or other grains. As they mature, they become part of the grain. Because they cannot later be separated, what ends up in your capsule is over 50% grain.

Mushroom benefits stem from mushroom nutrition, and mushroom fruiting bodies provide more of it than grain-grown mycelia. The fruiting bodies provide:
✓ More vitamins and minerals
✓ More ergothioneines (a potent dietary antioxidant amino acid)
✓ More di- and triterpenes (immunomodulators)
✓ Over 20 times more immune-enhancing Beta-(1,3) (1,6)-D-Glucans.
