Shiitake Mushroom Extract by 7 Gates Apothecary promotes immune strength, cardiovascular balance, and cellular vitality, combining classical Chinese theory with modern integrative mycology.
Shiitake Mushroom: Cellular Renewal by 7 Gates Apothecary is a highly bioavailable extract made from Lentinula edodes, one of the most widely researched medicinal mushrooms for immune modulation and metabolic support. This formula is extracted using a traditional tri-extraction method (water, organic alcohol, and USP-grade vegetable glycerin) to deliver a full spectrum of active compounds.
Known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Xiang Gu (香菇), Shiitake is traditionally used to nourish Qi, strengthen the Spleen, and clear Dampness. It has been valued for its ability to promote longevity, restore vitality, and enhance immune defenses—particularly in chronic and deficiency conditions. Modern studies support its use in cardiovascular health, immune support, and detoxification protocols.
This extract may support:
- Immune resilience and recovery from chronic infections (e.g. HIV, hepatitis, herpes)
- Healthy cholesterol, blood sugar, and cardiovascular function
- Skin conditions, including eczema and fungal infections
- Cellular regeneration and antioxidant support
- Appetite, energy levels, and metabolic regulation
Each extract by 7 Gates Apothecary is selected and formulated by neuro-mycology expert Dr. Doug Wingate, using only 100% organic mushroom sources. These blends represent the harmony between ancient Chinese wisdom and modern scientific insight. GMO-free and gluten-free unless otherwise indicated.
