Compare every Maitake product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.
Medicinal mushroom supporting immune function and blood sugar regulation
We rank Maitake by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Maitake is a type of medicinal mushroom. It is often referred to as "Hen of the Woods" and is used as a dietary supplement to support the body.
It is primarily used for two main reasons:
The mushrooms are grown in controlled environments on a substrate, which is a nutrient-rich material like sawdust. Once harvested, the mushrooms are dried and ground into a fine powder. This powder is then put into capsules or sold as a loose powder for mixing into drinks.
Maitake is generally mid-range in price. This is because the mushrooms require specific environmental conditions to grow and a careful drying process, making them more costly to produce than basic vitamins but cheaper than rare, wild-harvested fungi.
