What it is

Maitake mushroom extract is derived from the maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa), a type of edible fungus native to Japan and North America. It is typically produced by extracting beneficial compounds from the mushroom using water or alcohol.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add maitake mushroom extract for its potential health benefits and as a flavor enhancer. It is commonly found in beverages, particularly those marketed for energy or wellness, as well as in dietary supplements.

Health notes

Maitake mushroom extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Some studies suggest it may have immune-modulating effects, but more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated maitake mushroom, but did not set a numeric limit. Evidence regarding its health effects is still developing.

Allergen info

Maitake mushroom extract is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
