A sister extract to AHCC also from the shiitake mushroom. Sounds really interesting in its effects on cancer. Not as easy to source as AHCC, but it's out there.
The wiki page cites a bunch of human trials happening in Japan (no surprise given their adoption of AHCC in clinical settings), but of course uncertain efficacy and results so far. Question of whether oral administration works, suggestion it must be done intravenously.
