Immuna® Shiitake Mushroom Extract

Why Choose Immuna® Shiitake Mushroom Extract

For over fifty years, it has been known that ß-glucans found in the cell walls of fungi, plants, algae, and bacteria can modulate the immune system. But not all ß-glucan types are able to modulate immune functions and not all ß-glucans offered in the nutraceutical ingredient marketplace are created alike.

Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) are the second most prominent edible mushroom on the planet and rich in ß-glucans; however, most of the of the ß-glucan in its cell walls stays there when eaten and does not become bioavailable. Immuna® has bridged this gap using a proprietary and patented solvent free extraction process developed by Norway’s GlycaNova, NS to produce a high molecular weight ß-glucan product from shiitake mushroom.

Shown in human clinical trials to optimize immune system modulation, Immuna® stands apart from other ß-glucan ingredients due to its high molecular weight triple helix structure. Available as a liquid or a powder, the supporting evidence from multiple studies indicate that Immuna® elicits a consistent and significantly improved dose response across 10 different immune markers. This bioactive immune stimulating ß-glucan from shiitake mushroom should be top consideration for any immune health food or nutraceutical product.
