Protein-bound polysaccharides are the active compounds. Scientific research in Japan has demonstrated that Maitake (Grifola frondosa) contains significant active polysaccharides. The active polysaccharides in Maitake have been identified as beta-D-glucans. A common denominator among mushroom and herbal adaptogens is the presence of complex polysaccharides in their structure. These active components have the unique ability to act as immunomodulators and, as such, are researched for their potential role in cancer and AIDS treatment. The polysaccharides present in maitake have a unique structure and are among the most powerful to be studied to date. The primary polysaccharide, beta-D-glucan, is well absorbed when taken orally and is currently under review for the prevention and treatment of cancer, and as a supportive tool for HIV infection. Grifolin from maitake triggers the release of tumor necrosis factor, a defensive cytokine, from macrophages in culture.
