The Science-Backed Mushroom Duo for Immune Health and Daily Balance

In the crowded world of supplements, few ingredients carry as much research-backed promise as Maitake (Grifola frondosa) and Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) mushrooms. Once prized in traditional medicine, these fungi are now available in highly concentrated capsule and extract form, delivering powerful beta-glucans without the need for cooking or tinctures.

At Arctic Supplements, we use both in our Myco Shield formula — designed and bottled 100% in Canada to provide daily immune and metabolic support.

Why Choose Supplement Form Over Raw or Cooked Mushrooms

Cooking mushrooms is healthy, but standardized extract supplements go further by ensuring potency, purity, and consistency.

  • Maitake D-fraction and Shiitake Lentinan are extracted and standardized for measurable immune benefits.
  • Capsules provide precise dosing and better bioavailability.
  • Arctic Supplements ensures every batch of Myco Shield is third-party tested for active beta-glucan content.
