Maitake SX-Fraction™
90 tablets
Item Catalog Number: 00704

Maitake mushroom is known for its immune system boosting properties. SX-Fraction™ is designed and developed on an active compound isolated from the Maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa). SX-Frac-tion™ can also be used as part of your diet to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level in those already within normal range.87-88

Maitake Products, Inc. is a pioneer of mushroom-based dietary supplements and has established credentials with “Maitake D-Fraction®”, a renowned product that is based on another active compound only from Maitake. Maitake D-Fraction® is widely acclaimed to provide nutritional support for cellular immune function.*

SX-Fraction™ has been developed, upgraded and standardized based on its own already patented beta-glucan compound (U.S. Patent #5,773,426).

Shiitake mycelia has been reported to be immunomodulating in the following ways:
 
1) Activation of macrophages, promoting recognition of antigens and information transmission to the T-helper cells, increasing rate of phagocytosis

2) Increase and reinforce interleukin-1 production, thereby supporting the T-helper cells

3) Promote the mitosis and proliferation of B-lymphocytes

4) Promote antibody production
