Available on www.amorevolezza.com or TAKEALOT : Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) are one of the most widely celebrated medicinal and culinary mushrooms in the world. Native to East Asia and enjoyed for centuries as both food and medicine, shiitake carries a reputation as the “elixir of life” in traditional Chinese and Japanese wellness practices.
Nutritional & Wellness Benefits
Shiitake mushrooms are rich in:
Polysaccharides (Lentinan & Beta-glucans): known for immune-modulating properties, helping the body’s natural defense system stay strong.
Ergothioneine & Antioxidants: powerful compounds that fight oxidative stress and protect cellular health.
Essential nutrients: including vitamin D precursors, B-vitamins, selenium, copper, and zinc for overall vitality.
Cancer Support Research
Modern studies highlight lentinan, a unique polysaccharide found in shiitake, for its role in supporting the body against tumor growth and enhancing immune response during cancer therapy. While not a cure, shiitake is valued as a supportive food and supplement for those undergoing treatment, often recommended in integrative wellness approaches.
Heart & Circulation

Supporting healthy cholesterol balance
