Company Description
Mushroom Wisdom was initially founded to bring a convenient dosage form of a maitake mushroom extract to American consumers. Investing heavily into research to validate its efficacy and safety for human health became the hallmark of later launches—all medicinal mushrooms that have both traditional health use and modern scientific research.
Mushroom Wisdom is distinguished by being the original functional mushroom-only supplement company, and by its proprietary alcohol extraction method for specific products to isolate and capture the essential, vital ingredients that hot-water extraction leaves behind, so that mushroom benefits are maximized.
Key Market Areas
Mushroom Wisdom’s key dietary supplement areas focus on the wide health benefits of functional mushrooms: cardiovascular support, immune support, blood sugar support, brain and cognitive support, prostate support, vision support, joint support, healthy weight management and healthy skin support. The company also is successful in the skin-nourishment market with its Aquamella moisturizer.
Major Products
Our signature offerings—Maitake D-Fraction® and Maitake SX-Fraction®—provide concentrated extracts that support the immune system and support healthy blood sugar levels.
Mushroom Wisdom’s Health-Mate line features mushroom-based formulas that address the most common health concerns of middle-aged Americans. Each Mate product is formulated to nourish and support the structure and function of key areas of health and well-being.
As a companion line for those who seek supplements by composition, the gluten-free Super Mushroom line provides superior content of functional mushrooms, such as Chaga, Royal Agaricus, Reishi, Shiitake, Tremella, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Coriolus and Meshima. Each is fortified with immune-enhancing Maitake D-Fraction®.
What’s New?
University and medical school research teams continue to explore the efficacy of Maitake D-Fraction®. Researchers at New York Medical College (Valhalla, NY) sought to elucidate the power of Maitake D-fraction with vitamin C in inducing apoptosis in a specific condition.1
