Additional Info: ?Maitake D-Fraction®? has been developed and commercialized by Maitake Products, Inc. since 1995. ?Maitake D-Fraction®,? a registered trademark for the standardized extract from Maitake mushroom, contains the active ingredient; protein bound ß-glucan complex. This unique active compound makes it very potent in enhancing immune system by oral administration. Being liquid in vegetable glycerin base (alcohol free), ?Maitake D-fraction®? can attain a much faster and much more effective absorption by your body.

ß-glucan in maitake mushroom has ß-1,6-glucan with ß-1,3 branches and ß-1,3-glucan with ß-1,6 branches. Researchers theorize that this complexity of ß-glucan branching makes Maitake superior to other medicinal mushrooms in immune stimulatory effect. One of the difficulties with many of the medicinal mushrooms is that they lose much of their effectiveness when taken orally. An essential point about our Maitake D-Fraction is that current research indicates it is most effective when taken orally.

The professional version of ?Maitake D-Fraction®?; ?Grifron®-Pro D-Fraction®? has been used at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) since 1993. At that time, Dr. Robert Atkins, known as the ?pantheon? of the Alternative Medicine in this country began using it at the Atkins Center in New York City for the treatments of various cancer patients. When ?Maitake D-Fraction®? received some strong support by Dr. Andrew Weil, this product became well known among doctors in Alternative Medicine.

?Grifron®-Pro D-Fraction®? has received IND (Investigational New Drug Application) approval from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to conduct a Phase II study on its effect for advanced breast and prostate cancer patients in 1998. Phase I study for the toxicity has been exempted due to the established safety records both in Japan and the USA. Meanwhile, a researcher group of the Department of Urology at NY Medical College has announced the ?Apoptosis (programmed cell death) inducing? activity by ?Grifron®-Pro D-Fraction®? on human prostatic cancer cells in late 1999. This finding has been published in Molecular Urology (Vol.4, No.1, 2000) and paid keen attention in cancer research and treatment.

?Maitake D-Fraction®? is the registered trademark of Maitake Products, Inc.

?Maitake D-Fraction®? is our trademark registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as of October, 1996 for the standardized maitake extract product that has been on the market place since the previous year. There is some misunderstanding among the people or even professionals that ?Maitake D-Fraction®? may be a generic term of active ingredient in Maitake mushroom. Please do not get confused. It is the trademark for the product originated and developed by us. The active compound of maitake mushroom is a polysaccharide called ß-glucan which is also found in other medicinal mushrooms such as Agaricus Blazei and Reishi. The ß-glucan contained in ?Maitake D-Fraction®,? however, is water-soluble and has some unique chemical structures consisting of both ß-1,3-D-glucans with the branches of ß-1,6-D-glucans and ß-1,6-D-glucans with the branches of ß-1,3-D-glucans. This unique character has made it distinguished from other ß-glucan products on the market, either derived from other mushrooms or yeasts.

There is Only ONE ?Maitake D-Fraction®?

Unfortunately, some imitated products of our ?Maitake D-Fraction®? are seen in the market these days under the tradenames such as ?Super D-Fraction,? ?MD-Fraction,? etc. Some of these imitations contain very little amount of ß-glucan. Please make sure the label on the product indicates our brand; ?Grifron®,? to obtain the assurance of the high quality and high standard of the products behind the science.

Ingredients: The product contains the standardized extract of Maitake D-fraction, the base for recent studies on the immune-enhancing properties of Maitake which has been used clinically by a number of health-care professionals and received overwhelming acceptance.*

Grifron® Maitake D-fraction® finally became available for the retail market in capsule form as a result of strong demand for the product from retail stores as well as end-user customers. Maitake D-fraction® is the registered trademark of Maitake Products, Inc. and no product is allowed to be marketed under the tradename unless licensed by us.

What is D-fraction? Modern science has identified a unique polysaccharide compound, 1,3 branched 1,6 beta-glucan and 1,6 branched 1,3 beta-glucan in Maitake mushroom, which is the active constituents that support immune cell function.* Unlike other 1,3 beta-glucans seen in other medicinal mushrooms such as reishi or shiitake, also in some yeast cells, Maitake's 1,6 and 1,3 beta-glucans have more complex chemical structures with greater degree of branching, which may increase the chances to reach to each immune cell for activation.* Maitake D-fraction is the combination of this 1,6 and 1,3 beta-glucans and some protein. It is most effective when taken orally. It is very important that D-fraction is effective in oral administration, because any pure beta-glucan alone is only effective through injection.

Product Specifications: Each Grifron® Maitake D-fraction® capsule contains 3mg of pure D-fraction compound (10mg of standardized pre D-fraction powder) , 150 mg of Maitake fruit body powder and 10mg of vitamin C. No : sugar, yeast, mold, artificial colors, dairy foods, preservatives and chemical pesticides or fertilizers are used. Grifron® Maitake D-fraction® capsule is available in two sizes; 120 capsule bottle (suggested retail price of $29.95) and 360 capsule bottle (suggested retail price of $79.95).

Usage: For general use and for maintaining your health, please take 2 capsules twice a day between meals. (For those who seek digestive support, please take them with food). For maximum impact, double or triple the daily amount, or use as instructed by your health-care professional.

Toxicity: There is no toxicity found with Maitake D-fraction extract nor whole Maitake mushroom, even with large dose. Please remember Maitake is a popular culinary mushroom in many countries for hundreds of years. However, although it is very rare, whole Maitake mushroom may cause light upset stomach or soft bowels.

Applications: Grifron® Maitake D-fraction® is specially geared for the people who seek enhanced immune system function*.
