Shiitake Extract 10:1: concentrated shiitake, simple and high quality
Shiitake Extract (10:1) 500mg from Myco Nutrition is a dietary supplement in plant-based capsules made from the fruiting body of shiitake (Lentinula edodes), a mushroom well known for its traditional use in Asian cuisine and increasingly sought after by those who want to add mushroom extracts to their daily routine.
At HSN we’ve focused on shiitake from what really matters: a selected raw material, a high concentration and a standardization that allows you to know what our extract contains. That’s why we use a 10:1 ratio, with 40% polysaccharides and 30% beta-glucans 1,3/1,6.
The difference is in the transparency: it’s not just “shiitake,” but fruiting body extract, concentrated and standardized in its most representative fractions.
What makes this shiitake different?
Not all shiitake products are the same. Some are based on mushroom powder without concentrating, others don’t specify the part used or don’t indicate the real beta-glucan content. In this case, the formula is designed for those who want a quality, clear and transparent option.
- Fruiting body: we use exclusively this part of the shiitake.
- Extract 10:1: a concentrated form compared to conventional mushroom powder.
- 40% polysaccharides: guaranteed content in one of the characteristic fractions of fungi.
- 30% beta-glucans 1,3/1,6: standardization in fungal beta-glucans specifically.
- Plant capsules: convenient format easy to integrate into daily life.
Raw material: 100% shiitake fruiting body
The fruiting body is the part of the mushroom that we normally recognize as a “mushroom.” In the shiitake case, it’s the most valued part for those seeking mushroom products with a quality composition.
That’s why at HSN we work with extract from the shiitake fruiting body of Lentinula edodes. It’s an easy way to choose quality shiitake without hassle.
10:1, polysaccharides and beta-glucans: what all this means
The 10:1 ratio indicates the extract is concentrated: you start with 10 parts of raw material to obtain 1 part of extract. This allows offering a more concentrated form than conventional shiitake powder.
Additionally, our extract is standardized to 40% polysaccharides and 30% beta-glucans 1,3/1,6. This matters because many people seeking mushroom products don’t want just “shiitake,” but want to know which fractions the extract really provides.
Beta-glucans 1,3/1,6 are compounds naturally present in mushrooms and highly valued in this type of product. We’ve stated it clearly and transparently.
Who is it recommended for
The shiitake extract fits especially well for people interested in mushrooms and concentrated extracts, seeking a simple, vegan formula with fungal beta-glucans standardized specifically.
If you’re an athlete or simply like having a wellness supplement base with well-selected ingredients, our Shiitake extract from Myco Nutrition is a practical and direct option.
How to incorporate it into your routine
Its plant-based capsule format makes it very easy to take daily following the package directions. It has no flavor, requires no preparation, and fits well into a simple supplementation routine.
As always, we recommend pairing it with a varied and balanced diet, enough rest and an active lifestyle. The idea is for it to be an easy product to maintain over time, without complicating your day-to-day.
What to combine it with
If you’re interested in mushroom extracts, you can combine it with other products from the Myco Nutrition line, depending on your routine approach:
- Reishi Complex Extract (15:1) 500mg: a formula with reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and acerola, designed for those seeking another mushroom extract with a complete composition.

- Cordyceps Extract (8:1) 500mg: an interesting alternative for active routines, with extract of Cordyceps sinensis, zinc and vitamin B3.
For sports routines or heavy daily wear, it can also go well with basic products like Evowhey Protein, if you want to complete your protein intake conveniently, or Ultra Omega-3 TG (IFOS) 1000mg, if you’re after a high-quality omega-3 option in your daily routine.
