Product Introduction
Shiitake Mushroom have been using history for thousands of years in Japan and China. Which is also known as a food and medicinal fungus. For a long time, people have believed that mushrooms can grow their energy, treat colds and remove intestinal parasites. Mushrooms contain fat, carbohydrates, proteins, fibers, vitamins and minerals. However, the key component is called polysaccharides lentinan. Lentinan is extracted from mushroom crushed mycelium, which is rich in polysaccharides and lignin. The use of mushrooms in the mushroom top and stem growth before the emergence of mycelium, crushed after the manufacture of mushroom products may reduce the infectivity of hepatitis B. Mushrooms can also stimulate leukocytes to produce interferons. In the laboratory study it shows that it helps to enhance immunity.

Physiological Functions
Shiitake possesses several potent immunoactive constituents. These substances stimulate the body's own immune cells to mount an attack against diseases. The immune stimulating properties of shiitake have been proven effective in cancer treatment.
The mushroom has been used for hundreds of years in China to treat various forms of cancer. Recent research has shown that extracts from the shiitake can indeed inhibit cancer growth. The shiitake extract, lentinan, has demonstrated the ability to cure cancer in lab mice and is approved for the treatment of gastric cancer in Japan. Unlike chemotherapy or radiation which attacks cancer cells directly, lentinan stimulates the body's own defenses to mount an attack against the cancer.
Polysaccharides are involved, but only partly in lentinula edodes Mycelium "L.E.M.", lentinula edodes mycelium enzymatically degrades the lignins in its growing media and alters their form. The lignins in L.E.M., called EP3, not only activate the immune system, but also have been shown to have direct antiviral activity.
Lentinan from shiitake binds to white blood cells, such as neutrophils and monocytes, and it increases host resistance to infections by viruses, bacteria and parasites. In lab animals it stimulates the production and maturation of certain immune cells. For example, early research demonstrated that lentinan activated T lymphocytes, the "generals" of the immune response. More recently, investigators administered lentinan IV to rabbits before severe exposure to pathogenic bacteria and reported this treatment prevented wide-spread infections, further demonstrating the broad immune enhancing abilities of this mushroom product.
