Mechanism

Most of Shitake’s health benefits stem from its potent immune enhancing abilities. This effect is mostly attributed to complex carbohydrates called polysaccharides that fortify the immune system. The specific effect of these polysaccharides is the activation of macrophages and T-lymphocytes, stimulation of interferon (a cellular protein produced in response to infection which acts to inhibit viral growth), and the overall enhancement of cell-mediated immune response.
