There are many bioactive compounds within the Shiitake mushroom, including the polysaccharide lentinan, which is thought to increase the activity of the immune system. Further, beta-glucans and ergosterols found within the mushroom have also been seen to prevent sclerosis (hardening of the arteries), which may support a healthy cardiovascular system.
The Shiitake mushroom may also work wonders for your hair and skin. The mushroom contains large quantities of amino acid l-Ergothioneine, which may help to reduce damage from UV light. In addition to this, the mushroom is a rich source of vitamin D and also has many polysaccharides and triterpenes that serve as antioxidants and anti-irritants, which may stimulate the natural renewal process of the skin. Therefore this mushroom can be particularly effective in skincare applications that protect against photo-aging and improve skin elasticity
