Maitake mushroom has been found to be one of nature's most potent and effective immune enhancers. It contains a unique protein-bound beta-1,3/1,6 glucan, Maitake D-Fraction, which has been tested and found to be the strongest among many of the most powerful immune boosters. Maitake D-Fraction may increase numbers of immune cells, increase activity of these immune cells, and improve overall functioning on the immune system.
