What is Organic Shiitake Mushroom Powder?
Organic Shiitake Mushroom Powder and Organic Shiitake Extract Powder are premium products derived from Lentinula edodes, cultivated on certified organic hardwood logs in the pristine forests of Japan and South Korea. Known as the “Elixir of Life” in traditional Asian medicine, shiitake mushrooms are celebrated for their immune-supporting and cardiovascular benefits.
Shiitake Mushroom Powder is made from freeze-dried whole mushrooms, retaining natural fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Shiitake Extract Powder is concentrated via hot water extraction, yielding ≥30% beta-glucans and ≥5% lentinan, clinically studied for their bioactive properties.
Certified USDA Organic, EU Organic, and Non-GMO, both products are sustainably sourced, vegan-friendly, and free from additives.
