FUKKEN with Ascophyllan
The main ingredient, Shiitake mushroom mycelium used in Fukken is extracted from the most active shiitake mushroom from among the thousands of types of fungi. In addition, ascophyllan, extracted from the Longevity seaweed, is added to further enhance the synergistic effect and support the immune system.
The Power of Shiitake Mycelium L.E.M.
Shiitake mushrooms have spores (seeds) on the underside of the cap (fruiting body) that we eat, and by releasing these spores, it produces offspring. A typical single spore a monokaryotic germinates into mycelium, which cannot reproduce sexually; when two compatible monokaryotic mycelia join and form a dikaryotic mycelium, that mycelium may form fruiting bodies such as mushrooms. In other words, the shiitake mushroom mycelium is the mother, and the shiitake mushroom (umbrella part) is like the baby. Just as a mother stores a lot of nutrients to give birth to a baby, the mycelium just before producing shiitake mushrooms contains more nutrients than shiitake mushrooms. L. E M. (Lentinula Edodes Mycelium) is the most potent nutrient in shiitake.
Lentinan, Xylose and arabinose
Lentinan, an ingredient found in shiitake mushrooms is said to act as a selective immune protector. Chemicals harm both bad and healthy cells, but lentinan does not harm healthy cells*
Xylose, Arabinose In addition to lentinan, shiitake mycelium contains components such as Xylose and Arabinose. These ingredients support interferon and interleukin in the body. It is an immune modulator that uses a self-defense function to protect us from bacteria and viruses. Immunotherapy medicines derived from these amazing mushrooms are being developed worldwide.*.
Interferon
Interferons belong to the large class of proteins known as cytokines, molecules used for communication between cells to trigger the protective defenses of the immune system that help eradicate pathogens. It was found that the double stranded RNA (ribonucleic acid) contained in shiitake mushrooms has the function of stimulating interferon production in our body. *
The power of seaweed Ascophyllum Nodosum
Ascophyllan is a kind of polysaccharide, and its raw material is Ascophyllum nodosum, which grows in the Norwegian coast of Northern Europe, northern Canada, and the Arctic Ocean coastal areas where there is no marine pollution. It is a seaweed that grows in severe cold weather and has a strong vitality. While Okinawa mozuku and wakame seaweed live only for one year, this seaweed has a long lifespan of up to 16 years.
The polysaccharide Ascophyllan
The polysaccharide ascophyllan is a component that is very useful in supporting the immune system, and has attracted attention for its many studies and clinical trials. Ascophyllan supports the eradication of pathogens and it was also noted to play a role as a protective shield against toxins.*
Supports already healthy blood sugar levels
It has been reported that it supports not only immune cells but also intestinal cells to produce intestinal hormones. Researches also show that it has the effect of suppressing blood sugar spikes.*
