Overview:
Throughout Asia, medicinal mushrooms and herbs have been in constant use for thousands of years as integral parts of traditional medical systems. That's probably why they are taken more seriously by the medical and scientific institutions in Asia than their counterparts here in the west.
It's not surprising then, that some of the most-significant discoveries and health products derived from natural medicinals have come from Asia.
For example, many species of mushrooms and fungi have been used to support the immune system and other vital functions, such as maitake, reishi, shittake, cordyceps and others. Traditional practitioners usually employ these medicinal mushrooms in their crude state, or with very minimal processing. That presents a range of problems because the levels of active ingredients can vary widely depending upon how the materials are grown, stored and prepared. Yet under certain circumstances these mushrooms exhibit potent immune-activating properties and other benefits.
Scientists in Asia have studied medicinal mushrooms intensely, trying to identify the key compounds responsible for their beneficial effects. If these compounds can be identified and concentrated somehow, the therapeutic potential of these medicinal mushrooms would be enormous; a very wide-range of common and debilitating diseases involve some degree of immune dysfunction. This led to the discovery of valuable immune-enhancing compounds like alpha and beta-glucans found in AHCC, beta-glucan products and Maitake D-fraction products.
The Grifron® Maitake D-Fraction® contains the purified and standardized “active ingredient” from Maitake mushroom. This compound is a “proteoglucan”, a glucan bound to a protein and has been identified as the primary substance responsible for the potent immune-activating property of Maitake mushroom. The safety and effectiveness of D-Fraction has been validated by clinical studies throughout the world. Grifron® Maitake D-Fraction® contains no alcohol, sugar, yeast, mold, gluten, dairy products, artificial colors, preservatives, pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.
There are many supplement products that claim to offer immune support, but not many that are backed by research to the same extent as Grifron® Maitake D-Fraction®.
Grifron® Maitake D-Fraction® is not an inexpensive supplement, yet it remains one of the most popular immune support products in the world. We feel this attests to its value and legitimacy as an immune enhancer. Grifron® Maitake D-Fraction®can be used by anyone seeking robust and scientifically-validated support for their immune system.
Manufacturer's Description:
Grifron®-Pro D-fraction® was originally designed for the use by health-care professionals to enhance immune system function. It is the ingredient present in all major studies on the health benefits of mushrooms conducted in Japan and the United States. Grifron® -Pro D-fraction® is the only product
that has established a credential as authentic product of D-fraction extract. Since the introduction of the product to health-care professionals,
the product has received overwhelming acceptance.
D-fraction is a highly standardized and purified beta-1,6 glucan (1,6 main chain with 1,3 branches in its chemical structure) and beta-1,3 glucan (1,3 main chain with 1,6 branches in its chemical structure)with about 30% of protein, extracted from Maitake mushroom fruit body. D-fraction has the unique polysaccharide compound. The degree of branching is greater than that of 1,3 beta-glucan often found in other medicinal mushrooms. Researchers theorize that the complexity of branching may make Maitake superior to other beta-glucan products. An essential fact about the D-fraction is that it is effective when consumed orally.
