Shiitakecoffee 220 g

A rare mushroom for its medicinal effects, mainly aimed at upper respiratory tract diseases, poor circulation and liver problems. Shitake medicinal mushroom has natural antibacterial effects and helps in the treatment of ulcers and stomach problems. It has been known as a medicine in Korea and China for over 1000 years. Many supportive substances have been tried in the treatment of those affected by the atomic bomb explosion in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but the effects of the Shitake mushroom spawn have been found to be the most effective.

Shitake mushrooms act like a sponge that sucks poisonous substances out of the body and therefore effectively absorbed radioactive radiation.

Studies have found anti-cancer effects, lowering cholesterol and high blood pressure. Clinical trials have shown life extension in patients with advanced stomach and colon cancer who have been treated with chemotherapy. Shitake mushrooms, like the fungus, contain beta glucan. Some preliminary clinical studies have shown that beta glucan, a polysaccharide derived from Shitake that has been given the name lentinan, has the ability to promote white blood cell growth. Shiitakes contain up to 37 g of fibre per 100 g and about 17 g of protein. They contain B vitamins, especially B1, B2, B3 and B5, vitamin D and iron, as well as calcium, potassium and phosphorus. Lentinan lowers blood cholesterol levels. This 'medicinal' mushroom is one of the best studied immunomodulators and the substance with the most evidence of its anti-cancer activity.Shitake mushrooms also contain a large amount of protein, comparable to the protein content of meat, but with less fat

Shitake mushrooms are a medically recognised natural remedy for the treatment of several diseases of civilisation. It has been used in Japanese medicine for about 2000 years, according to available sources. It is also called the elixir of life or longevity mushroom because of its medicinal properties: it suppresses the risk of high blood pressure (note: low blood pressure does not increase), strengthens the body's overall immunity against viral diseases. It is also being researched as a cancer-fighting agent. Furthermore, it is of importance for the support of immunity. One of the substances that Shitake contains is lentinan. This is a glucan that has been introduced in Japan as a standard part of the treatment of certain tumors. It has immunostimulant, anti-infective (eliminates viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infectious disease), anticancer and radioprotective effects. It has proven successful in the treatment and prevention of acne. In addition to its activating effect on the body, it also acts as a free radical scavenger and antioxidant.
