Polysaccharides and a compound called eritadenine are responsible for its effects. Shiitake possesses several potent immunoactive constituents. These substances stimulate the body's own immune cells to mount an attack against disease. The immune stimulating properties of shiitake has proven effective in cancer treatment. The mushroom has been used for hundreds of years in China to treat various forms of cancer. Recent research has shown that extracts from the shiitake can indeed inhibit cancer growth. The shiitake extract, lentinan, has demonstrated the ability to cure cancer in lab mice and is approved for the treatment of gastric cancer in Japan. Unlike chemotherapy or radiation which attack the cancer cells directly, lentinan stimulates the body's own defenses to mount an attack against the cancer.
