SHIITAKE FULL SPECTRUM EXTRACT
Shiitake is one of the best known medicinal mushrooms. In Chinese herbalism, it is reported to boost “Qi” within the body - the essential energy that flows through the meridians in the body (in Acupuncture they use the needles to adjust the flow of Qi energy through the meridians). Shiitake extracts are also used to tonify the liver and support overall immune health. Modern research suggests that extracts of Shiitake mushrooms may also help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.
Shiitake, currently called Lentinules edodes in the scientific community, was the first mushroom ever cultivated in Asian history, and maybe even in human history. In the 10th century, farmers in one particular valley in the mountains of Eastern China learned how to cultivate this highly prized mushroom on logs. There is still a 10th century temple in the valley, maintained and worshipped in to this day, dedicated to the spirit of the Shiitake mushroom. Shiitake is currently is the second most widely cultivated mushroom in the world, just behind Agaricus bisporus, the common white button mushroom purchased in U.S. grocery stores.
In traditional Chinese and Japanese herbalism, when used as a medicinal, Shiitake was always prepared as a tea or decoction, a hot water extract. It was never used in the unextracted form. This is also reflected in the scientific research. Hot water extracts are the only way Shiitake based mushroom supplements have ever been used or studied in the published scientific research, both in Asia and the West.
Lentinan, the first concentrated beta glucan extract from a medicinal mushroom ever used for immune support in the scientific research, is also a hot water extract.*
Immune System Support – The Shiitake mushroom contains Lentinan, an active compound that supports a healthy immune response. Taking Shiitake extract on a regular basis is believed to stimulate one’s immune system.* This medicinal mushroom is also packed with calcium, phosphorous, vitamins and minerals, as well as essential amino acids such as lysine, arginine, and many more. Liver Relief – Shiitake contains beta glucans and enzymes that may improve liver function.

Let customers speak for us
from 598 reviewsI have been using blood sugar support for five years and found it really helpful and keeping my A1c steady unfortunately I was very disappointed to find they discontinued it, but this is a reasonable replacement
I have used this product before, and after a six-month pause, I'm using it again. The results are excellent; in fact, a friend asked if I had "work done." Facial lines are softer and skin is plumper. I'm seventy-three years old.
I need no sugar gummies.
I am diabetic.
Doesn’t take away the knee pain completely, but makes it easier to live with.
Peppermint Oil
Awesome
Good product!!!!
They are delicious and fresh. Helps the mind , body, and soul
This probiotic helps keep my gut bacteria in check and my immune system in good condition.
Great service.
Just started taking this mag glycinate. Hoping it will help with sleep issues.
Highly recommended by my acupuncturist! It is a powerhouse!
I started useing this at first sign of tingling like others have mentioned and I reapply every two hours throughout the day . Its strong stuff just a thin layer needed. I'm on day 3 of use and my cold sore is 1/3 the size it normally gets . And no pain or irritation . I feel like it's starting to heal up already . Recommended to keep useing it even past the time you think it's going away. I really like this but have to eat tic tacos cause leaves strong taste in mouth . It's totally worth it !!!
I stated taking Nattokinase as part of a precautionary Spike protein detox. Since this is a preventative for me, not a corrective hard to tell if it’s working. But, it’s also supposed to help with Cardiovascular function.
it's very helpful to treat my allergies and sinus indeed. Works well!!! Thank you!!
