Food choices, lifestyle, environmental pollution and chemicals can affect every single body cell.

In Asia, Shiitake has been used as a food and as medicinal mushroom for thousands of years. The mushroom is said to be of importance for maintaining health, supporting a healthy cholesterol level and to contribute to a general activation of the immune system. Scientific research results of the last years place great emphasis on the intestinal health, the intestine associated immune system and the protection of cells and tissues.

Apart from vitamins and minerals, the Shiitake mushroom contains numerous organic substances such as glutamates, nucleotides, amino acids, peptides, organic acids and sugar compounds. Of special importance are lentinan and the alkaloid eritadenin. Eritadenin is able to affect the cholesterol level positively. Lentinan, the bioactive beta-glucan fractions of Shiitake, are regarded as efficient stimulators of the immune system.
