The active ingredient of the mushroom extract is lentinan, which enhances cellular immunity, inhibits the growth of cancer cells, and is rich in fatty acids, which effectively lowers blood sugar in the body.
Shiitake mushroom extract is effective in helping to suppress cancer recurrence, and in prolonging the lifespan of cancer patients.
