Zehira Shiitake Mushroom Full-Spectrum Liquid Concentrate – 50 servings

Shiitake Mushroom Full-Spectrum Liquid Concentrate – 50 servings
Pure ultrasonic liquid extract preserving the full spectrum of bioactive compounds

Also known as the “Black Concentrate”, with an exceptionally pleasant taste!

1) State-of-the-art production technology

Shiitake Full-Spectrum Liquid Concentrate is a revolutionary product created through ultrasonic extraction – a technology that fully preserves all active compounds of the mushroom without using aggressive chemicals or solvents.

Thanks to this method, our product contains 100% of the natural bioactive compounds of shiitake in the highest concentration available in liquid form.

• Ultrasonic processing – ensures gentle yet deep extraction of active compounds without damaging their structure
• No preservatives, no additives – only pure mushroom extract and natural vegetable glycerin
• High bioavailability – the liquid form provides immediate absorption, significantly more effective than powdered or capsule forms

2) How is it different from other products on the market?

Most shiitake products on the market are NOT like ours.

The majority of mushroom supplements come in capsule or powder form, which cannot be fully utilized by the body. The reason is simple: mushroom cell walls are made of chitin, which the human body cannot break down efficiently.

This means that with ordinary mushroom powder, most of the valuable compounds simply remain unabsorbed.

• Standard powders and capsules – lower effectiveness, weaker absorption, often diluted with cheap carriers (maltodextrin, starch)
• Shiitake Full-Spectrum Liquid Concentrate – a whole extract containing all bioactive compounds in their original form and high concentration

3) Why choose our full-spectrum liquid extract?

• Complete spectrum of active compounds  – not only polysaccharides, but also beta-glucans, triterpenoids, sterols, phenols, nucleosides, and purine alkaloids working in synergy for optimal wellness
• Guaranteed purity – we use only controlled cultivated shiitake mushrooms with full testing for heavy metals, contaminants, and toxins
• Optimal concentration – 1450 mg pure extract per serving (5 ml)
• Easy intake – the liquid form allows convenient use without capsules or tablets

4) The science behind shiitake’s power

Legal notice: According to the official interpretation regarding food supplements, the health effects of mushroom nutrients are not officially recognized and cannot be legally described. The following summary is provided for educational purposes only, based on the current scientific understanding. The cited research refers to the shiitake mushroom and/or its active compounds, not specifically to this product.

The shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) is widely known for its remarkable wellness-supporting properties. In Japan, it has even been used in the production of an official medical preparation (Lentinan) used in hospitals.

Key scientifically studied properties include:

• Supports the immune system – beta-glucans and lentinan stimulate the body’s defense mechanisms
• Antiviral and antibacterial potential – studied for support during viral challenges
• Antitumor potential – supports the body’s natural defense against abnormal cells
• Blood sugar regulation – supports glucose metabolism and may help reduce insulin resistance
• Cholesterol balance – contains eritadenine, studied for cardiovascular support
• Liver detox support – supports liver enzyme activity and protection from toxins

Excellent combination with Micellar Vitamin C
Outstanding synergy with Zehira Mumio and Mineral Drops

5) About shiitake (Lentinula edodes) and its health-supportive potential

According to the official interpretation of the Ministry of Health regulations regarding food supplements, the beneficial health effects of mushroom nutrients are not officially recognized and cannot be legally described. The following information is educational and reflects the current scientific position regarding shiitake mushrooms and their active compounds.

Shiitake is a highly valued edible mushroom originating from the Far East and is considered one of the oldest cultivated edible mushrooms in agriculture (China, 12th century).

Its popularity has expanded worldwide, especially under its Japanese name.

Scientific research has identified numerous bioactive compounds. In Japan, it has even been used for the production of an intravenous hospital medicine.

Japanese clinical practice

Japanese hospital practice and research have significantly contributed to understanding mushroom bioactivity.

Shiitake’s immunomodulatory effect is linked to its rich polysaccharide profile, especially lentinan.

By inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, it stimulates the body’s own glutathione peroxidase antioxidant system, helping protect immune cells from oxidative damage.

Together with the polysaccharide KS-2, lentinan has been documented in laboratory, animal, and Japanese clinical settings for its role in supporting defense against certain abnormal cell proliferation and metastasis.

Additional compounds include:

• LEM-phase polysaccharide complex – associated with blood sugar support
• Eritadenine – associated with cholesterol and lipid balance
• Phenolic compounds (syringic acid, vanillic acid) – support antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection
• Supports vascular wall integrity and may help reduce cardiovascular complications
• The combined antioxidant actions also contribute to liver-protective effects

6) Use every last drop

Our black ultrasonic extracts are extremely dense and highly concentrated.

Because of this high concentration, a small amount may remain on the walls or bottom of the bottle near the end.

To use the product completely:

1. Add a small amount of water into the bottle
2. Close it tightly
3. Shake well

The concentrate will fully dissolve into the water and can then be consumed.

This way you benefit from every valuable last drop.
Concentration is a sign of strength.

7) How and when to take it

Recommended daily intake: 5 ml (1 teaspoon)

Can be taken:

• At any time of the day
• On its own
• Mixed with a drink (not in hot liquids)

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

For best effectiveness, it is preferable to take with food (during or immediately after a meal).

8) Safety and purity

• Gluten-free
• Lactose-free
• Dairy-free
• Soy-free
• GMO-free
• No preservatives
• No artificial additives
• Suitable for vegans and diabetics

The product has passed strict laboratory testing and is guaranteed pure and safe for long-term use.

9) What does the Shiitake Mushroom Concentrate contain?

Produced through a newly developed special ultrasonic extraction process, allowing extraction of both organic and inorganic nutrients without synthetic solvents or additives and at lower temperatures.

This enables the bioactive compounds to enter the final product with minimal damage and full exclusion of industrial contaminants.

As a result, we offer a 100% impurity-free product containing only the mushroom’s natural active compounds in high amounts.

Amount per daily dose (5 ml)

• Whole shiitake mushroom extract – 1450 mg
• NRV %: NA

Additional ingredients: vegetable glycerin

NRV% = Nutrient Reference Value for adults
NA = not applicable

Why glycerin is the ideal carrier

Vegetable glycerin is ideal for whole mushroom extracts because:

1. It mixes with both organic and inorganic compounds
2. It is an excellent solvent, carrier, and preservative
3. It is a natural substance present in the human body and is gentle and non-allergenic
4. Its naturally sweet taste eliminates the need for synthetic flavors or sweeteners
5. It is not sugar, making it suitable even in diabetic-friendly nutrition plans
