MaitakeGold^®
MaitakeGold is a potent Maitake extract developed by Dr. Hiroaki Nanba, PhD., the inventor of Maitake nutraceuticals. Significantly, MaitakeGold is the only Maitake fraction that carries Dr. Nanba's personal endorsement.

MaitakeGold represents such a significant improvement in Maitake formulation that it was recently granted a U.S. Patent (U.S. Patent # 5,854,404). Currently being studied in human clinical studies at Sloan-Kettering, MaitakeGold is extracted exclusively from certified organic mushrooms grown by the world's leading grower of Maitake mushrooms, the Yukiguni Maitake Company of Japan.

Toxicity, Cautions, Contraindications
The polysaccharides in Maitake are considered to be safe and nontoxic. However, immuno-modulating substances should be avoided completely in organ transplant patients utilizing immuno-suppressive agents.
