What is Maitake?Updated 12 days ago

Maitake, known as the 'king of mushrooms,' literally means 'dancing mushroom' in Japanese. This name originated because people danced with joy when they found the mushroom in the wild, due to its remarkable health benefits. Maitake naturally occurs in Japan, China, and parts of North America and primarily grows at the base of oak, elm, and maple trees.

Maitake is an adaptogen. Adaptogens are natural substances that can help the body adapt to both physical and mental stress factors. They support the body's ability to restore and maintain balance, which could help with stress.
