Shiitake mushroom tincture | Lentinula edodes | KÄÄPÄ Health

Shiitake mushroom tincture by KÄÄPÄ Health is crafted from organic Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies, cultivated in Finland on hardwood substrate. Every batch is dual-extracted using a combination of alcohol and water to capture the natural compounds present in the fruiting bodies. The result is a concentrated, traceable liquid extract bottled in protective Mironglass.

About Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)

Shiitake is one of the most widely cultivated and consumed mushrooms in the world. Native to East Asia, it has been grown on hardwood logs in Japan and China for over a thousand years and is a cornerstone of East Asian cuisine and herbal tradition. KÄÄPÄ Health continues this tradition by growing shiitake on hardwood in Finland.

Active compounds

Shiitake fruiting bodies naturally contain a range of bioactive compounds, including:

• Beta-glucans (including lentinan)
• Eritadenine
• Sterols (including ergosterol)
• Polysaccharides

Extraction process

KÄÄPÄ Biotech uses dual extraction on dried shiitake fruiting bodies at a ratio of 1:20. The dual process — alcohol followed by hot-water extraction — ensures both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds are captured in a single concentrated tincture. Every batch is fully traceable via a QR code printed on the bottle.

How to use

Shiitake has been part of East Asian culinary and wellness traditions for over a thousand years, where it was often taken as a daily tonic. This versatile food supplement fits easily into a modern daily routine. Take up to 2 ml per day, used sublingually by placing the drops under the tongue, or added to your morning coffee, an afternoon tea, a smoothie or any recipe of your choice. The 30 ml bottle pipette delivers approximately 0.6 ml per full pipette; the 50 ml bottle pipette delivers approximately 1 ml. We recommend taking a one-week break after every three months of continuous use.
