Shiitake is one of the most widely cultivated culinary mushrooms in the world, with a long history of traditional use in East Asian cooking and herbalism. Its fruiting body is naturally rich in beta-glucan polysaccharides, notably lentinan, which the extract is standardised to deliver. The capsule contains only the extract, an anticaking agent and the vegetable shell.

New Roots Herbal was founded in Canada in 1985 and has grown into one of North America's most respected natural health manufacturers, with its European range produced for the EU and UK market under the same quality programme. The company operates its own ISO 17025-accredited analytical laboratory, manufactures to GMP standards and tests raw materials and finished products for identity, potency and contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides and microbial content. Its catalogue favours non-GMO ingredients, standardised botanical extracts and bioavailable nutrient forms, with clear labelling of what each capsule or scoop delivers. This transparent, evidence-led approach aligns closely with Welzo's commitment to clear, quality-led nutrition, and Welzo's healthcare professionals assessed the brand for alignment with our standards before adding its range to our catalogue. Shiitake 300 mg demonstrates the brand's approach to medicinal mushrooms: rather than a simple mushroom powder, it uses a validated 8:1 hot-water extraction and standardises the finished extract to 40% polysaccharides, so each capsule delivers a defined, repeatable amount of the compounds the mushroom is known for. Greenhouse cultivation under controlled conditions and screening for heavy metals, herbicides and pesticides address the contamination concerns that often affect wild or imported mushroom material. Presented in clean vegetable capsules with no unnecessary excipients, and suitable for vegans and people avoiding gluten and dairy, it is a transparent, well-documented extract that reinforces our trust in their quality philosophy.
