What is Organic Shiitake Mushroom Extract?
Our maitake mushroom raw material is sourced from reliable suppliers who strictly adhere to organic cultivation. Our organic certified Shiitake mushroom extract is a concentrated form of bioactive compounds derived from Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinus edodes). These mushrooms are known for their rich flavor and potential health benefits. The extraction process typically involves isolating and concentrating specific components of the mushroom, such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and other bioactive compounds.
