This gilled mushroom is available at many natural and oriental food markets, it's meaty flavor can complement almost any dish and, as it turns out, it is also a medicinal mushroom. Even among mushrooms, shiitake is high in nutrition: it contains all the essential amino acids, as well as eritadenine, a unique amino acid that some physicians believe lowers cholesterol. Shiitake is also high in iron, niacin, and B vitamins, especially B1 and B2. In sun-dried form, it contains vitamin D. The shiitake mushroom is native to Japan, China, the Korean Peninsula, and other areas of East Asia. In traditional Chinese medicine, shiitake is used to treat high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, colds and flu, and to dispel hunger. Shiitake is the main raw-material for AHCC supplement. Our highly concentrated extract has the same alpha-glucans as AHCC along with other chemicals from mushroom body to add more medicinal properties. From a study conducted at the National Cancer Center Research Institute, in Tokyo, Lentinan® was born (the beta-glucan was named for Lentinula edodes). Lentinan has been proved effective in treating many kinds of cancer. However, the drug does not have any direct anticancer activity. When Lentinan is placed in a test tube with cancer cells, it does not affect the cells, but when it is injected into the body, Lentinan triggers the production of T cells and natural killer cells. Lentinan is the third most widely prescribed anticancer drug in the world. Doctors also often prescribe it to patients who have undergone chemotherapy, as a means of revitalizing the patients’ immune system. Shiitake is also believed to be helpful against hepatitis B. Some studies have shown that LEM, a substance derived from the mushroom, stimulates the production of antibodies that counteract hepatitis. Moreover, Shiitake’s lignins, found in LEM, have been shown to block HIV proliferation and protect T-helper lymphocytes. According to medical research, shiitake may be a potent protection against tooth decay, it was proven to protect liver from fibrosis, as well as demonstrated growth-enhancing effects on beneficial bacteria in the colon. 

INSTRUCTION

Dry powder:  One full measuring spoon of each extract daily dissolved in hot water. You can add honey or syrup for better taste. 

One 60-gram bottle per month.

Additional recommendations:

Dissolve 500-1000 mg of vitamin C in a big glass of water and take it together with mushrooms. In case of stomach problem with vitamin C (hyperacidity) - exclude vitamin and take mushrooms 30 minutes before a meal.
