Why take Shiitake

Shiitake or edible mushroom, Latin Lentinula edodes, the so-called "fragrant mushroom" not only has great supportive effects on our body, but also a great taste.

Shiitake is an edible mushroom native to East Asia, where it has been used for its benefits for over 2000 years. It grows naturally on decaying hardwood trees. However, it has also long been used in Chinese medicine, where mushrooms are valued for their health benefits, which include promoting longevity.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), shiitake is useful for tonifying "Qi" energy and blood. In Japan, various extracts of Shiitake mushroom have been patented for use in the treatment of cancer, immune system dysfunction and cholesterol control.

Shiitake mushroom is rich in B vitamins, amino acids and key active nutrients, so take advantage of its excellent nutritional profile to boost your well-being.

• This vital mushroom significantly contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system.
• It contains the carbohydrate component lentinan, which promotes the production of lymphocytes and other immune system particles.
• In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to promote potency, to support normal gallbladder, liver and pancreas function.
• You can also use it as an aid in detoxification - it works similarly to seaweed and can bind heavy metals.
