Lentinus edodes extract, commonly known as shiitake extract, is a bioactive polysaccharide derived from the fruiting body via hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation. The primary active constituent is lentinan, characterized by a beta-1,3-glucan backbone with beta-1,6 branches.
Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent hydrolysis. Clinical use requires physician supervision due to potential interactions with anticoagulants and immunosuppressants. Avoid inhalation of fine powder dust during handling.
