🌿Shiitake – Vitality & Balance

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)

Shiitake is one of the most well-studied medicinal mushrooms in the world. Human studies show that it can measurably improve immune function and support healthy cholesterol levels, which is why it has been used both traditionally and in modern nutrition.

Shiitake contains natural compounds called beta-glucans, which have been shown in human trials to increase the activity of key immune cells, including natural killer (NK) cells and T-cells. These are the cells that help the body recognise and respond to threats. Importantly, Shiitake supports balance in the immune system rather than overstimulating it.

Shiitake also contains eritadenine, a compound that has been shown in human studies to lower cholesterol levels by helping the body regulate how fats are processed in the liver. This is why Shiitake is often associated with long-term cardiovascular and metabolic support.

Why extraction matters

The most beneficial compounds in Shiitake are not fully available in raw mushrooms or powders. A 1:3 double extraction is used to release and concentrate these compounds.

This process:

• uses hot water to extract immune-supporting beta-glucans

• uses alcohol to extract other important bioactive compounds

• makes the extract easier for the body to absorb

What this means in practice

Rather than providing a quick boost, Shiitake is known for building steady, foundational strength. Regular use is associated with better immune resilience, healthier cholesterol balance, and overall physical stability over time

Ingredients & Extraction Standard

• • 100% Organic Fruiting Body – only whole mushrooms, never mycelium, grain, or fillers.

  • Double-Extracted at a Potent 1:3 Ratio – using both alcohol and hot-water extraction to release the full spectrum of beneficial compounds.

  • Pure Organic Ethanol (Food-Grade – approx. 25% in final tincture) – a clean, neutral alcohol that efficiently draws out and preserves the mushroom’s active constituents.

  • Purified Water – carefully filtered for clarity and consistency before blending with each extract.

  • Crafted in Glastonbury, England – extracted and bottled in small batches with precision and intention.

  • Nothing Else – no fillers, no binders, no additives. Just potent, vegan, full-spectrum mushroom extracts.
