Shiitake

Shiitake mushroom extract strengthens the skin's defense and repair mechanisms, promoting enduring vitality and radiance. Djusie uses a titrated shiitake extract standardized for lentinan and beta-glucan content, ensuring consistent bioactivity. As skin ages or faces UV and environmental stress, its immune system weakens. Lentinan, a natural polysaccharide, reactivates Langerhans cells, keratinocytes, and macrophages, triggering natural immune defense and stimulating interleukin-1 production to enhance cell communication and protect against inflammation and premature aging. The extract contains 2% lentinan, 0.5-4.5% beta-glucans, 38% essential amino acids, and trace elements including copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc. It provides natural sources of vitamins B1 and B2, plus provitamin D2 supporting skin metabolism. This multi-active composition reinforces the skin's natural defense system, protecting against premature aging and oxidative stress while calming sensitivity and promoting regeneration.
