The benefits of shiitake mushrooms:
Shiitake is truly medicine in a mushroom. Shiitake mushrooms contain a natural source of interferon, a protein that appears to induce immune response against cancer and viral diseases. The eritadenine found in Shiitake mushooms helps to decrease fat and cholesterol in the blood, and their germanium supports cellular oxygenation and the immune response. They contain more than 50 enzymes, including pepsin, which aids digestion.
