Product Description
Beta-glucan on this maitake runs about 10–40%, beside polysaccharides at 10–50%, from Grifola frondosa fruiting body or mycelium. A single “30% maitake” quote from another code will not describe the lot in front of you.
The powder is pale gold and still tastes like the mushroom, which is why broths show it and why a clear drink is the wrong brief. About 80 mesh is the grind. Name the part, and do not call a plain extract a D-fraction.

Applications
Blends
Blends name maitake, the part, and whichever of those markers was tested.
Foods
Savoury foods take the lower grades for mushroom flavour.
Drinks
An 80-mesh powder disperses in a drink, and the mushroom taste remains.
Not D-Fraction
These capsules use the percent extract. D-fraction is a named preparation and does not appear just because the percent is high.
FAQ
Are the polysaccharide grades and the beta-glucan grades the same?
No. Polysaccharides run about 10–50%. Beta-glucan runs about 10–40%. Each has its own test.
Which part can be supplied?
Fruiting body or mycelium. The order has to choose.
What is the mesh?
About 80 mesh.
Is a high beta-glucan grade the same as D-fraction?
No. D-fraction is a named preparation, not a percent of this extract.
