What benefits do Shiitake supplements offer?
Of the thousands of mushrooms found in nature, twelve have caught the attention of the scientific community because of their unique combination of health benefits. Shiitake, which has featured in certain natural pharmacopoeia for thousands of years, is one of them.
Mushrooms, particularly shiitake, help to normalise several of the body’s functions:
- Intestinal health. Shiitake mushrooms contain a large amount of insoluble fibre which increases the volume and weight of stools, facilitating bowel evacuation and reducing the risk of constipation. They also contain non-digestible sugars which act as food for beneficial bacteria in the gut and colon, helping to improve the integrity of the intestinal barrier.
- Cardiology. As a result of their high polysaccharide content, shiitake help to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, two factors associated with cardiovascular problems.
- Free radical activity. Shiitake have certain antioxidant properties and thus help to fight the oxidative stress that contributes to many age-related health problems. When the body is exposed to high numbers of free radicals, normal detoxification processes cannot function properly, producing a state of imbalance.
These properties are due to shiitake’s exceptionally rich nutritional value. In addition to its high content of lentinan and eritadenine, which act on innate and adaptive immune responses (1), shiitake contains AHCC, rich in partly acetylated alpha-1,4 glucan polysaccharides. AHCC is the subject of intensive research (2-11).
How is AHCC made?
AHCC is produced from the mushroom’s mycelium, cultured in a liquid medium using a proprietary method, under the strictest health controls.
The resulting dietary supplement consists of 10% alpha-1,4 glucans, a type of polysaccharide not normally found in mushrooms, which is derived only through this proprietary manufacturing process.
