Shiitake Mushroom Extract 30% Polysaccharides (Comext) is a standardized mushroom-derived ingredient produced from Lentinula edodes (shiitake). It is supplied as a concentrated extract with a 30% polysaccharide assay, commonly used by nutraceutical, functional food, and cosmetic formulators seeking a consistent shiitake profile in a convenient, manufacturing-ready powder format.
In B2B applications, shiitake extracts are commonly used in wellness-positioned formulations where mushroom polysaccharides are desired as part of an “adaptogenic/mushroom blend” concept. From a technical standpoint, this ingredient is valued for standardization, batch-to-batch consistency, and compatibility with typical solid-dose and powdered mix manufacturing.
