Shiitake Extract
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Shiitake Extract is a standardized fungal derivative rich in Lentinan, a complex polysaccharide with profound immune-modulating effects. This Pharmaceutical Grade extract is extensively researched for its role in supporting cardiovascular health and enhancing cellular defense mechanisms.
In cosmetic applications, it serves as a potent skin-firming agent, utilizing kojic acid and antioxidants to brighten tone and improve elasticity. The Technical Grade extract is highly effective in stimulating collagen synthesis and protecting skin from environmental oxidative stress.
Its water-soluble nature makes it an ideal addition to functional soups, health supplements, and advanced dermatological serums. As a bio-active ingredient, it meets the growing industrial demand for mushroom-based wellness and “adaptogenic” beauty solutions.
