HOW IT WORKS

🌿 Shiitake – the mushroom of cuisine and pharmacopoeias (1,100 mg, fruiting body 30% polysaccharides)

Lentinula edodes is the second most cultivated mushroom in the world and for centuries has been both food and remedy in Chinese and Japanese traditions. The fruiting body contains lentinan, a triple-helix beta-glucan, and eritadenine. In the Italian Ministry list of botanicals it supports the body's natural defences.

🌿 What the 2015 study says

An American randomised trial in 52 healthy adults had them eat 5 or 10 g a day of dried Shiitake for 4 weeks and measured some immune system parameters, observing changes in some cell populations and markers [1]. It is a study on the mushroom as a food, not on our extract: we report it for what it is.

🌿 Beta-glucans – the defence polysaccharides

Mushroom beta-1,3/1,6-glucans are recognised by receptors on immune cells: a 2007 review describes their effects on the immune system [2]. Our extract is standardised to 30% polysaccharides so the dose is the same every day.

🌿 Why Oravita

Italian Soul: standardised extracts, part used declared, real doses. No Moringa here: just Shiitake.

Scientific background

Shiitake is the food mushroom most studied on defences. Here is what the available studies report:

  • Trial — a 2015 randomised study in 52 healthy adults assessed daily consumption of 5-10 g of dried Shiitake for 4 weeks on immune and inflammatory parameters [1].
  • Beta-glucans — a 2007 review describes how beta-glucans interact with the immune system [2].
  • Timing — the study lasted 4 weeks: the bottle covers 2 months.

These are studies on the mushroom as a food and reviews, not studies on our product: they describe what was observed and do not promise a result to those who use the product. Supplement for adults. Not suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding; if you take anticoagulants or other medicines, or are allergic to mushrooms, talk to your doctor.

Mi piace perché è semplice e senza additivi inutili

Ho preso questo integratore di Shiitake perché mi interessava inserirlo nella routine quotidiana come supporto naturale, soprattutto nei periodi in cui mi sento più stanco o voglio dare un po’ più di attenzione alle difese e al benessere generale.Mi piace molto il fatto che la formula sia semplice: estratto di Shiitake da 550 mg, titolato al 30% in polisaccaridi, senza una lista infinita di ingredienti aggiunti. In questi prodotti, per me, la pulizia della composizione conta parecchio, perché preferisco sapere esattamente cosa sto assumendo.Le capsule sono vegetali, facili da prendere e la confezione da 120 capsule permette un ciclo abbastanza comodo, senza dover ricomprare subito il prodotto. Apprezzo anche che sia vegano, senza glutine e senza lattosio, oltre che prodotto in Italia.Naturalmente non lo considero un integratore da effetto immediato o miracoloso. Lo Shiitake, secondo me, ha senso se preso con costanza, dentro una routine già abbastanza curata: alimentazione, riposo, movimento e attenzione generale al corpo. Però come supporto quotidiano mi sembra un prodotto ben fatto e serio.Nel complesso mi ha convinto: formula pulita, buon dosaggio, capsule pratiche e nessun ingrediente superfluo. Lo vedo adatto a chi cerca un integratore a base di funghi medicinali semplice, naturale e facile da inserire nella giornata.

Un integratore a base di un fungo molto utile per il benessere!

Leggo delle qualità dello Shiitake da tempo, ed ho scoperto che fa molto bene per aumentare le difese immunitarie, il livelli di energia e contrastare la stanchezza fisica e mentale.Questo prodotto nello specifico mi sta piacendo molto perchè, oltre a contribuire al benessere cardiovascolare aiuta nel detox del fegato (sì, ogni tanto mangio male e bevo troppo), ed aiuta il benessere della pelle.La formulazione è particolarmente idonea all'equilibrio psicologico ed emotivo femminile, quindi non potevo lasciarmela scappare.Inoltre i componenti provengono solo da estratto secco titolato, e sono prodotti da un'azienda piemontese che utilizza il rigore della filiera tracciata nel mondo della micoterapia: un progetto interessante ed onesto che a mio avviso va premiato.Le capsule sono facili da assumere, la confezione ne ha 120, per due mesi di utilizzo continuativo. Prezzo a mio parere più che corretto.Dopo qualche settimana di utilizzo mi sento più forte ed ho tutta l'intenzione di continuare ad assumerlo per testarne gli ulteriori benefici che, sono certa, arriveranno.Prodotto assolutamente approvato e consigliato.

Benefici non molto evidenti

Trattandosi di un prodotto naturale, va considerato che i benefici non sono particolarmente evidenti e sicuramente non un breve tempo.La confezione contiene 120 capsule, per una copertura di 2 mesi (secondo l'assunzione consigliata di 2 al giorno) ma dovrete mettere in conto che si tratta di un prodotto da assumere con continuità quindi terminata la confezione si dovrà continuare con altre, per avere un effetto soprattutto sulle difese immunitarie e sul benessere cardiovascolare.Le capsule sono facili da deglutire e non ho riscontrato alcun retrogusto nè problema digestivo.La scadenza della confezione ricevuta è te esattamente 3 anni, per cui penso di aver ricevuto una confezione di recente produzione.

Ingredients: Shiitake extract (Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler), fruiting body 30% polysaccharides, Coating agent: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose; corn starch

Questions? We have the answers.

Shiitake edodes: is it the same as Shiitake mushroom?

Yes. “Shiitake edodes” is a colloquial way of saying Lentinula edodes, the correct scientific name (formerly Lentinus edodes). Shiitake is the Japanese name: shii is the tree it grows on, take means mushroom.

Can raw Shiitake cause a skin rash?

Yes, it is a known reaction: Shiitake flagellate dermatitis, with itchy red streaks, can appear after eating raw or undercooked Shiitake, due to lentinan not broken down by heat. It concerns the fresh raw mushroom: always cook it well. Our dry extract is another matter, but those allergic to mushrooms should avoid it anyway.

How long does Shiitake take to work?

Mushrooms are not stimulants: they are judged on continuity. In clinical studies periods range from 4 to 16 weeks: this is why the bottle covers 2 months and we recommend finishing it before judging. The Shiitake study lasted 4 weeks.

Does Shiitake have contraindications?

Those taking anticoagulants or antiplatelets or other medicines should talk to their doctor; not suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding; those allergic to mushrooms should avoid it. Supplement for adults. Not suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding; if you take anticoagulants or other medicines, or are allergic to mushrooms, talk to your doctor.
