Hen Of The Woods (Maitake)

Description

“The science doesn’t have to believe in you; you have to believe in the science”.

Gifola frondosa is a complex biological system, famous for its unique branched Beta-Glucans, specifically the D-Fraction and MD-Fraction. These are not just standard polysaccharides; they are highly bioavaliable proteoglycans that modern oncology research has studied for their ability to support the body during intensive cellular stress.

Biologically, Maitake is a premier metabolic regulator. Scientific studies indicate its SX-fraction supports healthy insulin sensitivity and helps the body maintain stable blood glucose levels. Furthermore, G.frondosa acts as a biological response modifier, educating the immune system’s Natural Killer cells and macrophages to remain vigilant without causing over-stimulation.
