Shiitake – a natural way to a healthy lifestyle
Shiitake – the most important properties
Shiitake mushrooms, also known as Japanese mushrooms, are one of nature's most valuable treasures. They belong to the group of so-called superfoods, i.e. food products with unique nutritional and health-promoting properties [1] . Shiitake mushrooms are rich in many essential ingredients, such as amino acids in an ideal combination for human needs [2] and polysaccharides, including lentinan, which supports the proper functioning of the immune system [3] .
Shiitake and the immune system
Shiitake mushrooms are a source of extremely valuable ingredients that support our health at various levels. Thanks to the content of polysaccharides, including lentinan, they have the ability to support the immune system [3] . Lentinan stimulates the activity of white blood cells, which supports the body in the fight against infections and strengthens its natural defense mechanisms [4] .
How do Shiitake mushrooms support digestion?
Shiitake mushrooms contain enzymes such as amylase and cellulase, which support the digestive system. They help break down starch and cellulose, which facilitates digestion and absorption of nutrients. Additionally, the substances contained in shiitake stimulate the growth of probiotic bifidobacteria and lactobacteria, which has a positive effect on the intestinal bacterial flora [2] . A balanced intestinal flora is an important condition for maintaining health.
Japanese Scleroderma and liver health
Shiitake also supports the proper functioning of the liver, helping to detoxify the body [7] . The liver plays a key role in managing cholesterol in the body: it is responsible for its production, processing and removal of excess cholesterol from the blood. The previously mentioned lentinan supports the removal of toxins, which is beneficial for people struggling with acne and skin problems, often resulting from a contaminated and poorly functioning liver.
The effect of shiitake on cholesterol levels
Another very important field of action of Japanese sclera is supporting the proper functioning of the circulatory system [5] . Of particular importance here is the eritadenine present in the mushroom, which supports the maintenance of proper cholesterol levels in the blood [6] . Persistent, too high cholesterol levels can lead to numerous problems with the cardiovascular system caused by blocking the flow in arteries and veins.

It also helps nourish the body's Yin. This is important for maintaining internal balance and helps prevent dry conditions in the body, which manifest themselves as dry skin and dry mucous membranes. Additionally, it has a tropism towards the functional circulation of the liver and is supposed to have a cleansing effect.
Characteristics from the point of view of Traditional Chinese Medicine:

– replenishes Qi and nourishes Blood (Xue),
– dissolves Moisture and Mucus.
Thermal – Neutral
Taste – Sweet
Tropism – Spleen, Stomach, Lungs
Words written with a capital letter are terms derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). They have a different meaning than similar terms used in Western medicine. For example, the term "Stomach" in the context of TCM means the entire process associated with digestion and metabolism, and not merely the designation of a specific anatomical organ. However, concepts such as "Qi" or "Essence" do not exist in Western medicine and have no equivalents there.
