Positive effects, patients receiving Lentinan showed a tendency to increase in CD4 cells, the cells are attacked by HIV. In addition, in some patients, injection Lentinan also increased neutrophils which is the main white blood cells involved in the handling of the infection.
As with all the food we swallow, there is potential for allergic body of Shiitake. Be careful when eating raw or Shiitake Shiitake extract for the first time. Shiitake is very easy and cheap to be cultured at home. These fungi provide a healthy food choice and add additional aroma and flavor for culinary family.
