GreenFood Nutrition Shiitake Extract 120 capsules

Shiitake, also known as edible mushroom (Lentinula edodes), is a species of mushroom native to Japan. It has been very popular in this area for thousands of years. There are records of Shiitake dating back to 2000 years ago. In Japan, shiitake is often called the "elixir of life" because of its polysaccharide fiber content, a natural source of β-glucans (lentinans), erythadenine and the content of vitamins B2, B6 and D, provitamin D2, copper, selenium, pantothenic acid, zinc and manganese. When a dietary supplement with Shiitake states that it contains 30% polysaccharides, it means that almost one third of the content of Shiitake mushroom extract is made up of polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are long chains of carbohydrate molecules that have different biological properties. The standardization of the extract ensures that it contains exactly 30% polysaccharides, resulting in a consistent quality product. Standardisation also means that the product undergoes rigorous testing and controls to ensure that the polysaccharide content is as declared. Shiitake with 30% polysaccharides is valued for its high concentration of bioactive components and wide range of uses in dietary supplements, making it a popular choice.
