Latin name: Lentinula Edodus
Lentinula is derived from lentus (pliable, piece) and refers to the pliable tough stems and the smooth hat. Edodes means edible.

Shiitake is derived from the Japanese shi, which means cassia tree (a kind of chestnut tree) and take, which stands for mushroom. This means that this mushroom variety regularly grows on the pasadena tree.

Origin, location, description
The mushroom Is mainly found in Japan, but has been growing in Korea and China for a very long time and has been cultivated for more than 1000 years. Grows naturally on dead trunks of deciduous trees (like the oak). In forests with broad-leaved trees, at an optimum temperature of 20 to 25 ° C

History, traditional use
During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD), Wu Juei wrote that this mushroom was not only suitable as food, but could also be used for health. Shii-take has been used in Japanese hospitals since 1986.

Operation
Since shiitake in Europe cannot be regarded as a natural medicine but only as a food supplement, it is not allowed to provide information about the healing effects. If you are interested, there is a lot of information about it to be found on the internet.

Shiitake strengthens the immune system
In China and Japan the Shiitake is used to keep a healthy immune system intact. The healing effect of Shiitake therefore seems to be based mainly on the maintenance of the immune system. So that fungi, parasites, bacteria and viruses can be controlled by an effective defence mechanism of the body.
Moreover, the shiitake would impede the growth and establishment of these organisms in a very direct way, which considerably increases the efficiency of strengthening the immune system.

LEM
In particular, the polysaccharides play a major role, because they contain the beta-glucan Lentinan, which is found in the fruit body and the mycelium of the shiitake. The protein-free polysaccharides lentinan and Lentinus edodes mycelium (LEM) are powerful active substances and, according to research by American and Asian scientists, Lentinan is one of the most effective activators of the immune system.

Eritadenine
Other valued substances in shiitake are Eritadenine and the special enzymes.

VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is part of many processes in the body. The substance is very important when it comes to an optimally functioning immune system and it also promotes the health of teeth, bones, skin, hair and vessels through its positive influence on our collagen. In addition, vitamin C maintains a well-functioning nervous system, makes an important contribution to the energy supply of the cells and enables the absorption of iron from vegetables.

Antioxidant
Vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant that can protect your body against free radicals together with vitamin E. Vitamin C therefore plays a role in limiting cell aging, because cell aging is a consequence of the negative influence of free radicals on the body.
Because we cannot produce or store vitamin C ourselves, it is important to take enough vitamin C daily from fruits and vegetables, for example. When not enough or too little is consumed or those products do not contain enough vitamin C then it is advisable to use extra in the form of a dietary supplement.

Resistance
Because vitamin C is involved in optimizing the immune system and thus ensures effective resistance, vitamin C protects you against many discomforts and disorders.
Smoking and stress caused by tension reduce your resistance and thereby increase the need to use vitamin C. So when you smoke or experience a lot of stress it is advisable to use daily additional amount of vitamin C.
On top of that problems that arise from less well functioning connective tissue such as gum problems, skin disorders, problems with torn mouth corners, insomnia and bleeding can be limited or suppressed by taking enough vitamin C daily.

To list all the points
Vitamin C increases iron absorption and contributes to:
- Normal energy supplying metabolism (metabolism).
- Normal functioning of the nervous system.
- Normal psychological function (knowing, feeling, striving and the behaviour of people).
- Reducing fatigue and fatigue.
- Regeneration of the active form of vitamin E.
- Protection of cells against oxidative stress.

Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in the production of red blood cells and the maintenance of muscle and other tissues. It is also important for the resistance and an antioxidant that protects the cells of the body against free radicals.

Oxidative stress (free radicals) can be caused by, among other things, smoking, medication use, excessive alcohol use, too long exposure to the sun, intensive exercise, obesity and diabetic.

Consequences of oxidative stress
Oxidative stress is partly responsible for the aging process and oxidative degradation of lipids, so that the cells use more energy to stabilize the cell membrane and DNA is damaged.
