Maitake-DMG Liquid is a synergistic combination
of two wellresearched factors for immune system support. Maitake PDFraction™
is an extract standardized with D-Fraction®, one of nature’s most
comprehensive immune support compounds.
Use in traditional Oriental medicine
The underground tubers from which Maitake mushrooms have been used in traditional
Chinese and Japanese medicine to enhance the immune system. Researchers have
also indicated that whole maitake has the ability to regulate blood pressure,
glucose, insulin, and both serum and liver lipids, such as cholesterol, triglycerides,
and phospholipids, and may also be useful for weight loss.
Maitake mushrooms are rich in minerals (such as potassium, calcium,
and magnesium), various vitamins (B2, D2, Niacin, and C), fibers and amino acids.
The active constituent in maitake for enhancing the immune actively has been
identified in the late 1980s to be the protein-bound polysaccharide compound,
beta-glucan, an ingredient found especially in the family of polyporaceae.
Maitake D-fraction
Most research on maitake has focused on the use of maitake D-fraction for treating
various malignancies. D-fraction consists of a highly standardized and purified
active beta-glucan (both -3-branched beta-1,6 glucan AND 6-branched beta-3 1.3
glucan), and approximately 30% of protein, extracted from maitake mushroom's
fruiting body. The bioactive D-fraction, extracted from maitake, is prepared
by a standardised procedure developed by "Maitake Products, Inc.",
Ridgefield Park, New Jersey.
Active beta-glucans in D-fractions have unique polysaccharide
structures, and the degree of branching is greater than any beta-glucan found
in any other medicinal mushrooms that demonstrate this similar immune stimulatory
properties. Researchers theorize that the complexity of branching makes D-fraction
most potent for enhancing the immune system via oral administration, leading
to the higher tumor reduction in several animal studies.
Most other mushroom extracts fail to show oral activity in pre-clinical
studies. The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York is conducting
a study in collaboration with the New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Medical
College of Cornell University to determine if D-fraction can stimulate the immune
system, without causing any side effects or toxicity. Further laboratory studies
and extensive clinical studies are under way in collaboration with leading research
institutes, both in the United States and in Japan.
