General Product Information:
New Roots Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) extract is standardized to 40% polysaccharides, including lentinan, which is known to stimulate white blood cell production. A traditional gilled mushroom native to east Asia, shiitake is among the most popular edible mushrooms yet possesses a polysaccharide profile with a wealth of health benefits. New Roots sustainably grown shiitake are cultivated in climate controlled greenhouses and further standardized to 40% polysaccharides. New Roots Herbal's Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is a hot water extracted medicinal mushroom formula standardized to contain 40% polysaccharides (300 mg per capsule). Hot water extraction is critical in obtaining a high quality and effective mushroom product and is the traditional Asian method of extraction. In the whole mushroom, polysaccharides are bound by indigestible cell wall comprised of chitin. Chitin must be dissolved by hot water in order to gently release the medicinal components, the mushroom polysaccharides. Conversely, grinding the mushroom may cause damage to the long chain polysaccharides and fails to remove the indigestible chitin (fibre), limiting the amount of therapeutic constituents that can be fit per capsule. Standardization ensures that the final product contains a consistent amount of polysaccharides to allow delivery of a therapeutic dose. Shiitake contains several therapeutic polysaccharides. Lentinan is the most prominent, triggering white cell production. Additional product information is available in its pamphlet which you can access by clicking here.
