Organic Shiitake Extract - A Mushroom Ritual for Natural Defences

Organic fruiting-body extract, inspired by shiitake’s longstanding place in nourishment and immune wellbeing.

Mind Studio’s Shiitake Extract belongs to Natural Defences, our collection dedicated to immunity, resistance and airways.

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) has been treasured in East Asian food and herbal traditions for centuries. Today, its naturally occurring beta-glucans and potential effects on immune function make it a mushroom of continued scientific interest.

Mind Studio brings shiitake into a convenient liquid format, made exclusively from fruiting bodies and formulated and bottled in Denmark. Add it to your morning drink or lunchtime smoothie for a simple mushroom ritual.

Why Shiitake Belongs in Natural Defences

Shiitake’s connection to immune wellbeing gives it a clear place in this collection.

Research has explored how eating shiitake influences immune activity. A four-week study in healthy adults consuming whole shiitake mushrooms reported changes in several immune markers. These findings offer an encouraging reason for continued research, although they do not establish the same benefits for this particular liquid extract.

For those interested in functional mushrooms, Shiitake offers a practical addition to a routine centred on natural defences, alongside varied meals, sufficient sleep and regular movement.

The Fruiting Body, Thoughtfully Extracted

Mind Studio uses the mushroom’s fruiting body, without mycelium or grain. Its ultrasonic-assisted dual extraction combines water and alcohol to extract different groups of naturally occurring compounds.

Shiitake contains beta-glucans, including the extensively studied polysaccharide lentinan. The presence of these compounds is part of the mushroom’s scientific interest; their quantity in this finished product is not specified here.

A Simple Morning Ritual

Stir your serving into water, tea, coffee, juice or a smoothie. The liquid format fits easily around breakfast or midday, without capsules to swallow.
