Shiitake mushrooms - Import export

Shiitake, another very popular edible mushroom, reveals a second set of benefits only after a gentle extraction process. Specifically, a type of beta-D-glucan, lentinan, found in shiitake seems to play an important role in turning this edible mushroom into a medicinal one. From us you can buy shiitake as extract, powder and extract or powder capsules. Our shiitake extract is standardized for 30% of polysaccharides. During the extraction process, polysaccharides are extracted from the chitin cover in the mushrooms using hot water. Compared with the powder, the extract has around 10 times the concentration of polysaccharides. Our powders are gained from the gently dried fruiting body of the mushroom by grinding it finely. The grain size < 0.125 mm is a sign of quality. All raw materials are tested for 250 parameters and aromatic hydrocarbons. The corresponding lab analyses and certificates are supplied to you with every batch.
