How Does Maitake Mushroom Powder Work?

Maitake is rich in several vitamins such as copper, potassium, vitamins B and C, and beta-glucans. Copper is an essential vitamin because when it pairs up with the mineral iron, it creates red blood cells. Copper also keeps blood vessels, bones, and nerves healthy while also boosting immune function. Potassium, a mineral in the body, is critical for regulating fluids, muscle contractions, and nerve signals. Vitamin B helps to support well-being, cell metabolism, as well as brain function. Ascorbic acid or vitamin C, an antioxidant, helps protect the body from free radicals, as well as repairing all bodily tissues. Beta-glucans are thought to provide the body with immune system support as well as lowering LDL levels or 'bad cholesterol.' Through the minerals and vitamins found in the Maitake Mushroom, there is an abundance of positive effects that it may afford to the body.
