Description

Tremella mushroom tincture 50ml

Tremella is a relatively strange mushroom and perhaps the only fungus valued for its “beauty-enhancing” properties. It has been consumed in China for centuries and is a familiar food item in East Asia, despite it lacking any value in occidental cultures. Its slimy and gooey consistency makes it different from other medicinal mushrooms, but this doesn’t make it less medicinal. Tremella has been shown to have many promising properties that may be able to help in the treatment of various illnesses. It is also quickly becoming popularized as a natural moisturizing agent in skincare products.

It’s important to note that Tremella fuciformis is also biologically unique in its form, ecology, and composition. While it exhibits many of the same properties as other medicinal mushrooms, it’s no doubt that this mushroom is unlike its counterparts.

When to Take Snow Mushroom:

For optimal benefits, we recommend daily use as part of your morning or evening routine. While true skin health begins from within, you can also apply our liquid extract topically or incorporate it into your skincare regimen by mixing it with facemasks etc.Dosage:

A single 50 ml bottle of our triple-extract tincture should last approximately 50 days, with a recommended daily dosage of 20 drops (1 ml). For individuals with alcohol sensitivities, we suggest dropping your dosage into warm water to evaporate the alcohol before consumption.

Medicinal Properties Of Tremella

Scientific studies conducted on Tremella and its constituents are showing many parallels with the traditional uses in addition to new applications. While much of the scientific research has only emerged in the past 10-15 years, it is showing many potential health benefits. In particular, the polysaccharides and polyphenols present in this mushroom are shown to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and cognitive enhancing properties. Its use in cosmetics has also received attention due to its protective and moisturizing effects.

It must be noted that there is still a great need for further research on Tremella mushrooms. No human clinical trials have been conducted on the bioactivity of this mushroom and thus all suggested health benefits require further testing. Also, it must be noted that some studies have been conducted on closely related species Tremella mesenterica and Tremella aurantia, which are less common but still known to be consumed traditionally in East Asian cultures.

Certain studies have also been conducted on exopolysaccharides of Tremella mycelium grown in submerged culture. These are polysaccharides that are released by mycelium when grown in liquid broth-like culture. Instead of harvesting the mycelium itself, exopolysaccharides are harvested from the broth. Also, some studies have been conducted on artificially altered and modified polysaccharides.

Active Constituents

Polysaccharides: These are generally considered the most active components found within Tremella and have been a focus of a majority of studies. More than 50% of the dry weight of tremella is composed of Polysaccharides, with the most abundant being uronic acid. Beta-glucans are also highly present in polysaccharide extracts.

Polysaccharide extracts of Tremella have been shown to have several interesting properties including being anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, anti-radiation, antiulcer, and immunomodulation. These polysaccharides have also been shown to have a very high water-holding capacity and for this purpose, they are used in many creams and cosmetic products as a moisturizing ingredient.

Polyphenols: These are largely non-water soluble molecules that exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Specifically in Tremella, these are hydroxybenzoic acid, gentisic acid, and 4-coumaric acid. Together these only make up a very small percentage of the fungal biomass, but they have been shown to have potent effects.

Other bioactive substances: Bioactive fatty acids, proteins, enzymes, flavonoids, dietary fiber, and trace elements are also found in Tremella. These are not considered the main contributors to the medicinal properties of Tremella.
