Lentinula edodes (Shiitake) mycelial biomass supplemented with concentrated L. edodes hot-water extract – minimum 30% polysaccharides (beta-glucans / proteoglycans)

The mushroom biomass we use to manufacture MycoNutri Shiitake is grown for us in the USA on sterile grain-based substrate and is optimized to maximise substrate conversion and hence mycelial production.

The biomass contains the full spectrum of active metabolites from the mycelium and young fruiting body of the mushroom, including beta-glucans, other intra- and extra-cellular polysaccharides, phytosterols (including ergosterol – provitamin D2), proteoglycans, proteins and lipids.

We then blend it with a hot-water extract containing high levels of polysaccharides to reinforce its health-promoting properties with the combined product having a minimum of 30% polysaccharides.
