Product Introduction

The second most popular edible mushroom worldwide, shiitake extracts define nutraceuticals - foods with positive health benefits. Polysaccharides and a compound called eritadenine are responsible for its effects.

Physiological Functions

Shiitake possesses several potent immunoactive constituents. These substances stimulate the body's own immune cells to mount an attack against diseases. The immune stimulating properties of shiitake have been proven effective in various health supports.

Recent research has shown that extracts from the shiitake can indeed inhibit abnormal cell growth. The extract component, lentinan, stimulates the body's own defenses. Unlike chemical treatments that attack cells directly, lentinan enhances the host's immune response.

Lentinan binds to white blood cells, such as neutrophils and monocytes, increasing resistance to infections by viruses, bacteria, and parasites. It stimulates the production and maturation of certain immune cells, specifically T lymphocytes, which are critical to the immune response.
