what is Shiitake Extract Alpha Glucan AHCC?
Shiitake Extract Alpha Glucan AHCC is a linear polysaccharide unique to Lentinus edodes cell walls, and its glucose units are mainly connected by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Different from the commonly reported Lentinus edodes β-glucan, the α-configuration has better water solubility and a relatively flexible molecular chain. After entering the human body, it can bind to the surface receptors of intestinal immune cells and activate signal pathways, thereby playing a role in "training immunity". Simply put, Lentinus edodes alpha glucan is a set of natural sugar chain codes in Lentinus edodes that can both provide energy and "educate" the immune system.

How much glucan can be extracted from shiitake mushrooms?
The laboratory used the three-step method of "hot water extraction-ultrasonic wall breaking-alcohol precipitation" to separate and purify the commercially available dried shiitake mushroom fruiting bodies. The results showed that:
The crude polysaccharide yield accounted for about 5% to 6% of the weight of the dried mushrooms;In the crude polysaccharides, β-glucan accounted for about 27%, and shiitake alpha glucan accounted for about 8% to 10%.
In other words, about 0.4 to 0.6 g of shiitake alpha glucan can be obtained for every 100 g of dried shiitake mushrooms. If fresh mushrooms are used, the amount of extraction will decrease in proportion because the water content is 90%. Therefore, it is not realistic to rely solely on fresh mushrooms to achieve an effective dose in daily diet, and concentrated powders or capsules have become a more feasible form of supplementation.
How can Shiitake Extract Alpha Glucan be used?
Functional food: Compounding shiitake alpha glucan with bread, biscuits, and meal replacement powder can reduce the rate of starch digestion and help stabilize postprandial blood sugar.
Immunomodulator: As the core active ingredient of oral liquid or capsule, it is used to improve the upper respiratory tract defense and shorten the course of colds.
Medical beauty excipients: Its high water retention and biocompatibility make it a new type of polysaccharide moisturizer in facial masks and repair essences. Shiitake Extract Alpha Glucan AHCC can form a breathable film on the skin surface to reduce water loss.
