Maitake Bio Beta Glucan Grifola Frondosa - Promotes A Healthy Immune System, 1 oz, (Nature's Answer)

Free Gift For Order Over $50. Check out our gift selection.

A very special mushroom, Maitake, is both delicious and highly medicinal. Modern science has found specific medicinal components that explain the superb healing properties of mushrooms. These active chemical components have been identified as “polysaccharides”.  
 
“Polysaccharides” stand out as having the specific and powerful ability to increase the activity of white blood cells, in particular, T-lymphocytes. White blood cells are part of the immune system, traveling through the body and engulfing invading micro-organisms, as well as damaged cells, including abnormal cell growth. They function in a similar way to “pac-man”, reaching out and gobbling up these disease-causing components.  
 
A specific polysaccharide called beta-glucan is especially effective in activating white blood cells. Well-documented studies have shown that the Maitake mushroom contains a specific beta-glucan component –- a 3-branched, B-1, 6 glucan, the active ingredient that gives the Maitake mushroom its highly potent and effective medicinal benefits. By increasing white blood cell motility, beta-glucans increase the overall function of the immune system!  
 
Nature’s Answer has perfected the extraction process that guarantees that their Maitake Bio-Beta-Glucan contains a minimum of 14 mg of Beta-1,6-Glucan with Beta-1,3 branches per serving. This potent formula offers the most effective and optimal way to experience the health benefits of Mother Nature’s potent immune enhancer.

RESEARCH DATA
Beta-glucan has been widely studied at well-respected university laboratories worldwide including The National Institute of Health in Japan, The National Cancer Institute, The Department of Surgery at Tulane University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School, to name a few.  
 
Positive outcomes have been reported from this particular branch of beta-glucans for a range of health conditions including:
  • HIV/Aids
  • Diabetes
  • High Blood Pressure
  • High Triglycerides
  • HighCholesterol
  • Constipation
  • Obesity
One study showed:
  • Decrease of symptoms associated with cancer in patients taking Maitake mushroom extract. Symptoms included tumor inhibition and prevention of metastasis (spread) of cancer, as well as enhancement of the effectiveness of conventional chemotherapeutic agents with fewer related side effects.
  • Patients supplementing their diets with Maitake while undergoing chemotherapy did not suffer from the common side effects associated with a decreased immune system.
Once again illustrating Maitake’s power as an immune stimulant!

SUGGESTED USAGE
As a dietary supplemint take 1 ml (approx. 28 drops) 3 times a day in a small amount of water.

FAQ

What are the most popular herbs in the market today, and what are they used for?
  • Echinacea - Stimulates the immune system.
  • Ginkgo - Enhances cerebral circulation and increases mental functioning.
  • Thistle - Strengthens and detoxifies the liver.
  • Goldenseal - Stimulates the immune system, and is particularly effective for conditions involving mucous membranes.
  • Astragalus - Serves as a tonic for the immune system (ie. builds and strengthens).
  • St. John’s Wort - Acts as an antidepressant and as a potent immune enhancer.
What is the difference between a fluid extract and a tincture? 
A fluid extract is an extract with an herb to menstruum ratio of (1:1). This means that you get 1 gram of herb for 1 ml of extract. A tincture is an extract with an herb to menstruum ratio of (1:2), (1:4), (1:5) or (1:10). This means that to get the same 1 gram of herb you must take either 2, 4, 5, or 10 milliliters of extract (respectively). 
 
How do you know what a milliliter is?  
Usually a milliliter is approximately 28 drops of an extract, but since this is a commonly asked question, Natures Answer has answered this question by using calibrated droppers that show exactly how much extract you are taking. 
 
Which is a better form of taking herbs, liquid or capsules?  
Herbs can be used in both the liquid and capsule form depending on your personal preference. Liquids are more easily absorbed and are perfect for people who have trouble swallowing pills, such as children and the elderly. Unlike other liquid brands, Nature's Answer is alcohol free or very low in alcohol (12-14%). Capsules may be preferable because using them avoids the bitter and unpleasant taste of some herbs, and they can be packed in a pill case for ease of dosing, convenient for the supplement user on the go. 
 
Why do extracts have alcohol in them?  
In order to extract plant constituents most effectively, it is necessary to use alcohol. Alcohol is used because (a) it is the strongest solvent we know of that can extract a major portion of the plant constituents without harming its properties and (b) it is ingestible. (As a point of interest, Nature’s Answer uses only certified organic alcohol in their extracts). 
 
What is the benefit of using an alcohol-free extract?  
Firstly, many people simply do not like to use alcohol as they strive towards healthier living. Others may not use alcohol for religious reasons, because they are in recovery or are pregnant or nursing. Furthermore, alcohol is not for children. These products address all those concerns.  
 
Secondly, and most importantly, alcohol-free extracts allow you to taste the plant, not the alcohol! This taste is extremely important in that it gets your body ready to receive the gifts that the plant has to offer. Tasting the herb is part of the overall herbal experience and healing process. Alcohol-free extracts enable you to truly appreciate all of the plant's gifts. 
 
If alcohol is needed in extraction, how do you make an alcohol- free extract? 
Nature’s Answer begins with organic alcohol regardless of whether the final product contains alcohol or not. After finishing the first step in the plant extraction, we perform an additional step to remove the alcohol. This is done by utilizing a proprietary cold extraction process called Bio-Chelation. Bio-Chelation describes the cold process vacuum distillation method, which removes all the alcohol initially used to obtain the good herbal extract.  
It is important to note that a cold extraction process, as opposed to a heat extraction process, helps maintain the full spectrum, or Holistic BalanceT of the plant's constituents in the final product. The end-result is an alcohol-free extract containing the essential properties of the complete herb in a base of vegetable glycerin and water. (Vegetable glycerin is used because it can help to bind certain plant constituents, is natural to the body, easily absorbed, tastes sweet without affecting blood sugar levels, and acts as a good solvent and carrier for the plant constituents). 
 
Are your herbs organic?  
This is a good question. Nature’s Answer uses three types of herbs in their formulations…Certified Organic, Responsibly Wildcrafted, or Cultivated. Our certified organic herbs come from a variety of organic farms located throughout the United States. Many of our formulas also feature Responsibly Wildcrafted herbs. Responsibly wildcrafted herbs are those picked in a responsible manner, whereby no plant will be over picked and therefore, be a risk to the existence of the species.  
 
They are picked in their natural environment at optimal times for harvesting, and have not been exposed to any sprays or fertilizers. These plants are also considered organic; however since they are not “certified”, they are referred to as wildcrafted herbs. Cultivated plants are grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides but are not certified organic and therefore, cannot be called organic. Ultimately, no matter the source of our herbs, all are fully tested for microbes, chemicals and residues … contaminents that could compromise the quality of the herb. 
 
Is it safe to take herbs with my medications?  
Most times it is safe to take herbal supplements from high-quality, reputable manufacturers along with doctor prescribed medications. It is important, however, to know that many herbs will enhance or facilitate the actions of the medications you are taking, so you should leave a few hours between taking an herb and a medicine. While most herbs don't react negatively to medicines, it is of utmost importance to first check with your healthcare practitioner before beginning any nutritional supplement program, and ALWAYS tell your practitioner if you are taking anything in addition to what they have prescribed. 
 
Can I take all my herbs at the same time?  
This is a tough question to answer, as it depends on the types of herbs you are taking, the reasons you are taking them and your overall body. It is okay to take tonic herbs together, meaning those gentle herbs that have a strengthening action to the body. If you are using herbs for acute conditions, it is best to take them separately from your other herbs. 
 
I catch every cold that comes around my office; what can I take to keep me healthier?  
The best approach to take is to use tonic herbs that will build your immune system, rather than relying on Echinacea every time you get a cold. The best herbs to take to strengthen and support the immune system are Astragalus, Reishi (or any of the medicinal mushrooms like Maitake or Shiitake) or any of the Ginseng herbs, to name a few. These herbs are ideal for overall natural protection.
