Shiitake has been traditionally used in Japan to tonify the immunity as well as to ward off external pathogens. In this respect its action is somewhat similar to the classic Chinese herbal formula Yu Ping Feng San, Jade Screen Powder.

Shiitake is also extremely commonly used in cooking:  for centuries in China and Japan, more recently also in countries outside China and Japan, and in Macrobiotic Cooking.

Manufacturing Process

Shiitake-MRL is not an extract but instead contains both the mycelium  and the primordia (young fruiting bodies)  of Lentinula edodes grown aseptically into a biomass.  The biomass is then manufactured into tablets, each containing 500mg.

Cultivation Process of Shiitake-MRL
MRL Ltd.´s Lentinula edodes powder contains both mycelium and primordia (young fruit body) cultivated into a biomass that is grown on a sterilised (autoclaved) substrate.
This cultivation process ensures the powder is free from contamination by other fungi and that pesticides and heavy metals are absent.

The cultivation system is proprietary, allowing for standardised production of Lentinula edodes. The powder biomass is then sealed in plastic containers.

Certified Organic (USA & EU)
The fungal biomass Lentinula edodes that comprisesShiitake -MRL is certified 100% Organic in the United States by Quality Assurance International (Certificate No. 103491-A).
In December of 2005, MRL powder gained EU organic certification in accordance with EU Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2092/91 by Quality Assurance International (Certificate No. 105493-A).
