Shiitake Mushroom Extract Natural Immune & Wellness Booster

Shiitake Mushroom, (Lentinula edodes), edible and medicinal wood-dwelling fungus, native to East Asia. The shiitake mushroom is among the most commonly cultivated fungi in the world. Important in a number of Asian and vegetarian dishes, shiitake mushrooms are high in dietary fiber, B vitamins (especially pantothenic acid), copper, selenium, manganese, and iron. The fungus has been used extensively in traditional Asian medicine and has a number of biologically active chemicals, such as the polysaccharide lentinan, that some studies suggest may prove beneficial against cancer and other diseases.

Premium Immune Support Formula of Shiitake Mushroom

Types of Premium Formulas

Premium shiitake immune support products generally fall into a few categories:

Single-Ingredient Supplements: These focus solely on shiitake, often as a pure powder or extract, sometimes emphasizing the fruiting body or the mycelia for specific compound profiles.

Multi-Mushroom Complexes: Many products combine shiitake with other adaptogenic and immune-supporting mushrooms like Maitake, Reishi, Turkey Tail, and Chaga to offer a broader spectrum of benefits.

AHCC-Specific Formulas: These supplements highlight the clinically studied AHCC ingredient, often sourced from Japan, as a maximum-strength option for targeted immune support. 

Shiitake Mushrooms Health Benefits, Nutrition, and Uses

Shiitake mushrooms have a rich, earthy flavor and a distinctive taste best described as meaty. These mushrooms have large caps measuring 2 to 5 inches wide, and they vary in color from light to chocolate brown, providing an attractive contrast with their pale cream underside. 

Health Benefits

Shiitake mushrooms have one of the highest amounts of natural copper, a mineral that supports healthy blood vessels, bones, and immune support. In fact, 1/2 cup of shiitake mushrooms gives you 72 percent of your daily recommended intake (DRI) of this mineral. The mushrooms are also a rich source of selenium, providing 33 percent of your DRI.

Improve heart health.

Shiitake mushrooms contain eritadenine, a compound known to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. They also contain beta-glucans that reduce inflammation and help prevent the intestines from absorbing cholesterol. 

Support immune health.

Shiitake are rich in polysaccharides like lentinans and other beta-glucans. These compounds protect against cell damage, help your immune system, and boost white blood cell production for fighting off microbes. Polysaccharides also have anti-inflammatory properties.

How to Use Shiitake Mushrooms

Shiitake mushrooms are the third-most popular mushroom in the world, after oyster and white buttons. You can sometimes find them in supermarkets, but you may need to look in farmers’ markets or specialty grocers. You can also buy shiitake mushrooms in dried form.
