Latin name: Lentinula Edodus

Healing effect in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Japanese medicine
The Shiitake is characterized by a particularly extensive medical area. In addition, the shiitake can provide valuable services both prophylactically (for prevention) and existing disorders.
Because the shiitake is not native in Europe, it took until 1909 before it got a foothold here and the mushroom took over 60 years before it gained recognition in Europe and North America.
Since then, the popularity has steadily increased and more and more people - including many experts - are interested in its nutritional value and therapeutic substances.

LEM
One of the world's most famous gourmet mushrooms has also proven to have great health benefits and great nutritional value. Shiitake or Lentinus Edodes is probably the most researched and used mushroom in the Far East. The protein-free polysaccharides lentinan and Lentinus edodes mycelium (LEM) are powerful active substances.
LEM is a valued extract from mycellial Lentinus edodes with proven immunomodulatory properties that contain glycoproteins, nucleic acid derivatives, vitamin B and ergosterol compounds. Lentinan, a highly purified polysaccharide from Lentinus edodes, has been licensed for medical use in Japan. Shiitake polysaccharide and beta-glucan extracts help the body to keep cholesterol at a healthy level and are even able to support an increase in the useful T-cells in the body.

Eritadenine
Another valued substance in shiitake is the cholesterol-influencing substance Eritadenine.

Shiitake contains a lot of copper
With regard to trace elements, Shiitake excels in particular because of its high copper content. Copper is of vital importance because certain enzymes cannot function without copper.
For example, copper is involved in the formation of connective tissue and blood and part of functions in the nervous system. The recommended daily requirement for copper is about 1 to 2.5 mg and one capsule of Shiitake extract can cover a large part of that need.
A lot of vitamin B for nerves and metabolism (metabolism) functions.
In addition to vitamin B2, vitamin B3 and vitamin B6, shiitake is particularly rich in vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and gives a lot of power to a healthy metabolism and healthy nerves.

Shiitake: high-quality supplier of proteins
The Shiitake yields about 2.2 g of protein per 100 grams. Interestingly, the protein contains all the essential amino acids (including Leucine and lysine) in approximately the same amount as in milk or meat, making it a high-quality protein source. A Japanese study with male adults showed that the Shiitake protein is distinguished by a particularly high degree of digestibility compared to other fungi.

Shiitake: An interesting source of vitamin D
In Central and Northern Europe, many people suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is mainly formed by the effects of sunlight on the skin, and in the sun poor winter season in the northern regions often a deficit is built up. That shortage can even continue if you do not spend enough time in the sun in the summer. Too low a vitamin D level promotes almost every chronic disease and can even slow down the healing process.

Foods contain virtually no vitamin D and can therefore not be used to cover the needs.
But exceptions also confirm the rule here, because in addition to many types of fish and cod liver oil, fungi can also be vitamin D suppliers, but only if they originate from the country and were lit by the sun.
Finnish researchers have found that many fungi - including the shiitake - contain a remarkable amount of ergosterol and are therefore important vitamin D suppliers. Because ergosterol functions as a pro-vitamin for the formation of vitamin D and a healthy vitamin D level results in a strong immune system.

VITAMIN C
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is one of the most important vitamins for the maintenance of health. It not only strengthens the immune system and protects against colds, but also makes us more resistant to stress by tensions. Skin, hair, connective tissue and bones cannot be built without vitamin C because it is involved and necessary as a coenzyme in the formation of collagen. Furthermore, it strengthens the blood vessels and prevents cholesterol from being deposited on the walls. In this way, vitamin C helps prevent atherosclerosis (artery hardening) from occurring.

Ascorbic acid not only strengthens the immune system, but is also involved in numerous other metabolic processes. Vitamin C helps to detoxify the body and is involved in the synthesis of collagen, the building block of skin, connective tissue bones and cartilage.
A deficiency of this vitamin can lead to reduced wound healing. That is why it is no wonder that wounded people have a higher than average need for vitamin C. This also applies to intensively sporting athletes, smokers, diabetics and pregnant or lactating mothers.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C, with the chemical name ascorbic acid is an essential vital substance because the body cannot produce vitamin C itself. We therefore depend on a regular intake to stay healthy through the diet.
As an antioxidant and opponent of free radicals, it protects cells and tissues from attacks by aggressive molecules.
Vitamin C strengthens the immune system in two ways. It promotes the formation of antibodies and is used by the white blood cells in defence against harmful bacteria and viruses.
A shortage of vitamin C can lead to the disease scurvy which in the past sailors had to deal with.

Operation of Vitamin C
Without vitamin C, the white blood cells (leukocytes) cannot ward off infections. Our skin, hair, connective tissue and bones cannot be formed without vitamin C because it is involved as an important coenzyme in the formation of the essential building material collagen.
Among the many other tasks of vitamin C is the function of antioxidant. It protects the body against free radicals, inhibits the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines, and allows us to use iron as a proven stress killer. However, due to the high light and oxygen sensitivity, the vitamin C content in food can be completely lost after a certain storage time.

Vitamin C intake and application
Experts are not even aware of the amount that the daily need not only covers, but also has a preventive effect. In addition to the official advice of 75 mg per adult, American biochemists recommend daily amounts of 200 to 250 mg per day.
But even 1000 milligrams and more are recommended in some cases. It is difficult for a consumer to provide such quantities from only fruits and vegetables. For a quantity of 1000 mg of vitamin C about 10 Kiwis or 650 grams of parsley should be eaten. That is why the use of vitamin C food supplements is a useful alternative.
