Shiitake Mushroom Extract
Shiitake (Lentinula Edodes) mushrooms are known as a culinary speciality and has been used for thousands of years across Asia.
Why Choose Shiitake
Immune System Support: Shiitake mushrooms' beta-glucans and polysaccharides enhance immune cell activity and cytokine production, bolstering overall immune function and resilience against infections and diseases.
Heart Health: Compounds in Shiitake like eritadenine and polysaccharides can improve cardiovascular health by reducing cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure, and enhancing blood circulation, potentially lowering the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effect: Shiitake's antioxidants, like phenolic compounds and vitamin C, help combat free radicals, lowering oxidative stress and supporting healthy ageing. Its anti-inflammatory properties alleviate inflammation, promote well-being and reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Our Extraction Process
Mushrooms are made of a fibrous substance called Chitin, which is indigestible to humans. In order for us to benefit from their medicinal properties, the Chitin cell wall needs to be broken down.
Traditional extraction requires heating medicinal mushrooms in a liquid solvent for long periods of time. Many of their beneficial compounds are heat sensitive, so become denatured as a result.
We use Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE), which draws out high levels of these compounds at low temperatures. High-frequency sound waves create high-pressure bubbles in liquid, which collapse rapidly, generating intense pressure that breaks the Chitin cell wall and releases the medicinal compounds.
Using UAE, we are able to create a full-spectrum extract that is bio-available, ensuring that you get the maximum health benefits from every extract.
Our Light Filtering Bottles
We use Miron 'Violet Glass' bottles to contain our extracts.
The unique glass works by filtering out degrading and harmful light and allowing in beneficial light waves. The infrared, ultraviolet and violet lights that can enter the bottle help to prolong the shelf life and efficacy of the extracts.
