Shiitake mushroom is a high-protein food with rich nutrients and high medicinal value

Shiitake mushroom is a high-protein food with rich nutrients and high medicinal value. Lentinan is the most important active ingredient of Shiitake mushroom, and it plays a significant role in regulating the body’s immunity, anti-tumor, anti-virus, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant.

1 Lentinan in shiitake mushroom has immunomodulatory ability.

Lentinan is considered to be a T cell activity restorer and immune enhancer; lentinan can recognize macrophages, promote the production of lymphocyte activating factor, enhance the phagocytosis rate of macrophages, and restore T Cell function. It also has the ability to promote the synthesis of IgG and IgM by B lymphocytes, and increase the number of splenic antibody secreting cells and specific rosette forming cells.

2 Lentinan is the main active ingredient of the anti-tumor mushroom.

Lentinan does not directly kill tumor cells, but exerts anti-tumor effects by inducing the body’s biological response. Lentinan inhibits the G0/G1 phase of SHG-44 cells, and induces it to a certain extent Tumor cells undergo programmed apoptosis. on the other hand, it can also inhibit the migration of tumor cells and achieve the effect of slowing the spread of tumor cells.

Lentinan can improve exercise tolerance

Lentinan can increase the time of exhausted swimming in mice, reduce the content of blood lactic acid and serum urea nitrogen, and increase the content of liver glycogen and muscle glycogen. If the lactic acid in the muscle can go to the blood in a short time, and cause the blood lactic acid level to increase, so the muscle lactic acid and blood lactic acid levels are in a balanced state.
