MMR Product Summary:

This 5 mushroom formula contains extracts from several medicinal mushrooms along with a Maitake fraction (extract) patented as Maitake Gold404®.

The therapeutic percentages for active compounds in the Maitake portion of this product are not listed, since this is a patented blend.  However, the patent does ensure that this product is indeed a highly concentrated hot-water extract containing the beneficial beta-glucans in therapeutically significant amounts.

All mushrooms in this product are extracted using hot-water, the industry’s only medically researched and historically proven method for ensuring optimum bioavailability of active compounds.

This product does not contain mushroom fiber or undigestible content that can reduce product potentcy.  To date, supportive scientific research remains unavailable regarding the theraputic benefits of unextracted mushroom ingredients.
