Shiitake Mushroom Extract Powder

What Is Shiitake Mushroom Extract Powder?

Wellgreen’s Shiitake Mushroom Extract Powder is a premium nutraceutical ingredient derived from selected Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies. As one of the most studied functional mushrooms in history, shiitake is prized for its high concentration of Lentinan—a unique polysaccharide known for its profound immune-modulating properties.

Utilizing an advanced water-extraction and spray-drying process, we concentrate the bioactive compounds into a stable, highly bioavailable powder. Specifically designed for the global supplement industry, our extract ensures a consistent potency that empowers brands to create effective solutions for immune defense and overall vitality.
