1. Balances Blood Sugar
Sustaining high levels of sugar in your blood can bring some serious consequences when it comes to your health. Not only can high blood sugar lead to the development of diabetes, but it can also cause side effects like headaches, increased thirst, blurred vision and weight loss.
Long term, diabetes symptoms can become even more serious, ranging from nerve damage to kidney problems.
When consumed as part of a healthy, well-rounded diet, maitake mushrooms may help stabilize blood sugar levels to sidestep these negative symptoms. One animal model conducted by the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at Nishikyushu University's Faculty of Home Economics in Japan found that administering Grifola frondosa to diabetic rats improved glucose tolerance and blood glucose levels.
Another animal study had similar findings, reporting that the fruit of the maitake mushroom possesses powerful anti-diabetic properties in diabetic mice.
2. May Kill Cancer Cells
In recent years, several promising studies have researched the potential connection between the maitake mushroom and cancer. Although research is still limited to animal models and in vitro studies, maitake grifola may contain powerful cancer-fighting properties that make the fungi a worthy addition to any diet.
One animal model published in the International Journal of Cancer showed that administering an extract derived from the Grifola frondosa to mice helped effectively block tumor growth.
Similarly, a 2013 in vitro study reported that maitake mushroom extract could be useful in suppressing the growth of breast cancer cells.
3. Lowers Cholesterol Levels
Keeping your cholesterol levels in check is absolutely essential when it comes to maintaining a healthy heart. Cholesterol can build up inside the arteries and cause them to harden and narrow, blocking blood flow and forcing your heart to work harder to pump blood throughout the body.
Although more research is needed, some studies suggest that maitake mushrooms could help naturally lower cholesterol levels to keep your heart healthy. An animal model published in the Journal of Oleo Science, for example, found that supplementation with maitake mushrooms was effective in reducing cholesterol levels in mice.
4. Boosts Immune Function
The health of your immune system is vital to overall health. It acts as a natural defense system for your body and helps fights off foreign invaders to protect your body against injury and infection.
Maitake contains beta glucan, a polysaccharide found in fungi that supports healthy immune function, among other health benefits.
Adding a serving or two of Grifola frondosa to your diet may help boost your immune system to ward off disease. An in vitro study published in the Annals of Translational Medicine concluded that maitake grifola mushrooms were effective in stimulating an immune response and were even stronger when paired with shiitake mushrooms.
In fact, the researchers out of the University of Louisville's Department of Pathology concluded, "Short-term oral application of natural immunomodulating glucans from Maitake and Shiitake mushrooms strongly stimulated both the cellular and humoral branch of immune reactions."
5. Promotes Fertility
Polycystic ovarian syndrome, also known as PCOS, is a condition caused by an overproduction of male hormones by the ovaries, resulting in small cysts on the ovaries and symptoms like acne, weight gain and infertility.
Some research suggests that maitake mushrooms may be therapeutic against PCOS and could help combat common issues like infertility. A 2010 study conducted at the J.T. Chen Clinic's Department of Gynecology in Tokyo, for example, found that maitake extract was able to induce ovulation for 77 percent of participants with PCOS and was nearly as effective as some of the conventional medications used for treatment.
6. Reduces Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is an incredibly common health condition that is estimated to affect a whopping 34 percent of U.S. adults. It occurs when the force of the blood through the arteries is too high, placing excess strain on the heart muscle and causing it to weaken.
Regularly consuming maitake can help reduce blood pressure to prevent high blood pressure symptoms. One animal model published in the International Journal of Medical Sciences found that giving rats an extract of Grifola frondosa could lessen age-related hypertension.
Another animal study out of the Department of Food Chemistry at Tohoku University in Japan had similar findings, finding that feeding rats maitake mushroom for eight weeks lowered blood pressure as well as levels of triglycerides and cholesterol.

What is Maitake Mushroom Extract?
Maitake (Grifola frondose) is a type of mushroom. It forms large clumps on tree stumps and tree roots. It was first used in Asian traditional medicine.
Maitake mushroom grows in forests in Asia, Europe, and eastern North America. It contains chemicals that might help fight tumors, stimulate the immune system, and lower blood sugar levels.
People use maitake mushroom for enlarged ovaries with cysts, diabetes, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
