Pharmaceutical-Grade Flower Mushroom Extract (Premium Shiitake)
Manufactured by Xi'an Tihealth Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
Xi'an Tihealth is a premier global B2B supplier of highly purified Flower Mushroom Extract (Lentinula edodes). The "Flower Mushroom" (Hua-Gu) is internationally recognized as the highest tier of Shiitake mushrooms. Cultivated under strict temperature and humidity stress, the fruiting body develops its signature cracked canopy, a process that naturally concentrates its bioactive polysaccharides and endogenous enzymes far beyond standard Shiitake varieties.
Through our advanced dual hot-water and ethanol extraction protocols, coupled with enzymatic cell-wall degradation, we successfully isolate the mushroom's most critical therapeutic compounds: Lentinan (β-1,3-glucans) and Eritadenine. Standardized to rigorous purity specifications (ranging from 10% to 50% Polysaccharides), our fine brown powder exhibits exceptional water solubility and stability. It serves as a foundational Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for premium immune-modulating supplements, cardiovascular-support nutraceuticals, and high-end functional foods.

Manufacturing & Processing Excellence
Targeted Lentinan Enrichment
Standard extracts often contain non-active starches. Tihealth utilizes sequential hot-water extraction and ethanol precipitation to specifically isolate the triple-helix structure of Lentinan (β-1,3-D-glucans), ensuring maximal immunological potency compared to generic mushroom powders.
Enzymatic Chitin Degradation
Shiitake cells are protected by a tough chitin wall that the human gut cannot digest. We deploy advanced biological enzymatic hydrolysis prior to extraction. This breaks down the chitin matrix, increasing the bioavailability of core compounds (like Eritadenine) by up to 300%.
Strict Heavy Metal Abatement
Fungi are notorious bio-accumulators. By utilizing strict GAP-certified hardwood log cultivation substrates rather than wild-harvesting, we proactively eliminate the risks of soil-borne heavy metals, yielding a flawless ingredient compliant with EU and California Prop 65 standards.
Evidence-Based Physiological Benefits
Profound Immunomodulatory Efficacy (Lentinan)
Lentinan is a clinically documented biological response modifier. It actively binds to macrophage receptors, significantly stimulating the production of T-lymphocytes, Natural Killer (NK) cells, and interleukins to establish robust systemic defense against pathogens.
Cardiovascular Health & Lipid Regulation
Contains Eritadenine, a unique compound clinically proven to reduce blood cholesterol levels. It promotes the excretion of ingested cholesterol and shifts the lipid profile towards cardiovascular homeostasis, mitigating risks of atherosclerosis.
Antioxidant & Hepatoprotective Support
Rich in endogenous polyphenols and Ergothioneine (L-EGT). The extract acts as a powerful free-radical scavenger, shielding hepatic (liver) cells from oxidative damage induced by toxins and supporting optimal liver enzyme function.
Prebiotic Gut Microbiome Optimization
The non-digestible oligosaccharide fractions resist gastric digestion, arriving intact in the colon. They function as high-grade prebiotics, selectively promoting the proliferation of beneficial flora (e.g., Bifidobacterium) to reinforce the intestinal barrier.
Industrial Formulation Applications
Immune-Support Nutraceuticals
The foundational API for formulating premium immune-defense capsules, post-recovery clinical nutrition, and AHCC-alternative functional blends.
Cardiovascular Supplements
Utilized in lipid-lowering tablets and metabolic wellness complexes to leverage its high Eritadenine concentration for cholesterol management.
Functional Foods & Medicinal Coffees
Engineered with exceptional solubility, it integrates seamlessly into medicinal mushroom coffees, RTD botanical elixirs, and adaptogenic energy bars.
Premium Pet Healthcare
Increasingly added to advanced veterinary supplements to boost innate immunity and combat cellular aging in companion animals (canine/feline).

Formulator & Procurement FAQ
01. What is the difference between standard Shiitake and your "Flower Mushroom" extract?
The "Flower Mushroom" (Hua-Gu) is a premium grade of Lentinula edodes cultivated under specific temperature/humidity stress. This environmental stress causes the cap to crack, naturally forcing the mushroom to synthesize significantly higher concentrations of therapeutic Lentinan and antioxidants compared to standard, fast-grown shiitake.
02. Do you test specifically for Lentinan (β-Glucan)?
Yes. While generic "polysaccharide" testing can detect inactive starches (alpha-glucans), we utilize specialized analytical methods to ensure that the core bioactive components-the immuno-stimulating fungal β-glucans (Lentinan)-are preserved and quantified in our COA.
03. Is the extract completely water-soluble for beverage applications?
Absolutely. Through advanced enzymatic hydrolysis and macroporous resin purification, we completely remove heavy insoluble fungal chitins. The resulting micro-powder disperses rapidly and clearly in cold water, making it perfect for functional RTD drinks and medicinal coffees without sedimentation.
04. Does the extraction process use toxic chemical solvents?
No. We strictly abandon harsh chemical solvents. Relying on a highly controlled water and food-grade ethanol extraction system, combined with vacuum evaporation, we ensure solvent residues remain strictly <5000 ppm, conforming to global pharmaceutical safety standards.
05. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and lead time?
MOQ for commercial mass production is 25kg (standard double-lined cardboard drum). Standard extracts are dispatched within 7-10 days. Samples (10g-1kg) are readily available for your R&D formulation trials upon request.
