Lentinan is a β-glucan specific to the mushroom Lentinula edodes (shiitake). It is documented as one of the most studied compounds of this mushroom in the scientific literature.
Research has observed that lentinan takes part in the modulation of immune processes, influencing the activity of cells involved in the natural defenses of the body.
This interest has positioned lentinan as a relevant component within functional nutrition, particularly in diets that seek to support immune balance.
Knowing lentinan and its presence in shiitake opens the possibility of integrating it as part of a diet oriented toward immune balance. At Simbiosis we use this mushroom in formulations that seek to accompany the natural functioning of the immune system within a serious and conscious nutritional approach.
