Maitake Organic, Tincture

Are you recovering from a challenging health condition, are you overweight or suffering from old age? The maitake "dancing fungi" is here for you to increase your vitality and help improve your overall condition. This Asian medicinal mushroom has been popularly used for centuries to support the proper functioning of the immune system or for its ability to boost metabolism or cleanse the body.

Maitake, or thornbush (Grifola frondosa), is an edible, delicious-tasting mushroom, usually parasitic on oak tree trunks. Because of its beneficial effects, it is known as the 'dancing mushroom' or 'king of immunity'.

This mushroom of excellent taste has been used since time immemorial not only in the kitchen. As its name suggests, it has been popularly used by traditional Chinese medicine wherever it was necessary to positively support the body's defences.

The mushroom contains a wide range of important biologically active substances. The most important of these are betaglucans - polysaccharides that harmonise the immune system and have beneficial effects on cholesterol levels.

Where our maitake comes from

This maitake is grown on an outdoor farm in Karjalohja, Finland. The gentle process ensures the production of the highest quality mushroom spawn possible.

The trees used for cultivation are solid Finnish tree trunks that have been carefully tested beforehand. The procedure is that the logs are inoculated in spring and the following year they are already colonised with the fungus. Part of the maitake comes from harvesting wild mushrooms that occur naturally in the pure, undisturbed nature of Finnish forests.

What is important about KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms' mushroom tinctures is that contain only the fruiting bodies, not the mycelium. By preserving the root network during production and processing only the above-ground part of the mushroom, it is certain that the extract contains all the important compounds that may be missing in the roots. Although mycelium can be cultured under laboratory conditions and subsequently declared as mushrooms, some mushroom products obtained in this way tend to be poorer in active substances.

Unique extraction technology

KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms tinctures are processed using a revolutionary method of ultrasonic assisted extraction - UAE (Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction). This process is very clean and gentle, while increasing the yield of precious compounds from mushrooms many times over.

The ground fruiting bodies of the medicinal mushrooms are loaded into the ultrasonic extraction device. The ultrasonic waves help to break down the chitin cell wall in the mushrooms and release precious compounds that would otherwise be indigestible to our body.

Only liquid extraction reagents are used for double extraction: purified spring water together with hot alcohol. This extraction process yields the maximum amount of active substances.

The UAE method ensures that each bottle of tincture is highly potent, with all the beneficial substances in an easily digestible form without residual chemicals.

Why did we choose KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms?

KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms' mission is to improve the well-being of people and forests. And we have to admit that these Finnish medinal mushroom specialists really take their work seriously!

They produce these mushrooms using strictly organic methods on forest mushroom farms in northern Finland and Lapland. Here, they are mainly grown on birch trunks in pristine, unpolluted nature. This method is more time-consuming because the birch trees take longer to bear fruit. However, the mushroom extracts are much more potent thanks to the patience invested.

Why is this location advantageous? It has been found that the further north the mushrooms grow, the more medicinal compounds they contain. Scandinavia's long and harsh winters force the plants and mushrooms to make the most of the short summer to create maximum active compounds.

KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms' production is certified organic by the EU. All products are tested in third-party laboratories for the presence of heavy metals and other toxins.
