Also called "King of the mushrooms", Shiitake has traditionally been used in the East to boost the immune response, promote longevity and for the maintenance of health and psychophysical well-being. Shiitake is rich in bioactive molecules, micro and macronutrients, minerals, amino acids, vitamins, enzymes, fibers and secondary metabolites. Among the amino acids there are good amounts of glutamic acid, also called "brain food", food for the brain, which favors the production of neurotransmitters and the transport of potassium to the brain. It contains high levels of polysaccharides (beta-glucans), including Lentinan, a branched beta-glucan (? 1-3? 1-6) that has shown important immunomodulating properties. A particularly effective substance contained in Shiitake is eritadenine, considered the most important bioactive component responsible for lowering cholesterol levels. Take 1 capsule three times a day, preferably away from meals.
