Its scientific name is Tremella fuciformis, but the striking “beauty mushroom” is more commonly known as tremella mushroom, snow mushroom, silver ear mushroom, snow fungus, or white jelly mushroom. It has long been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for supporting the immune system, supporting normal cognitive function, reducing inflammation, and keeping the skin clear and glowing. Tremella mushroom is also known to mimic the hydrating benefits of hyaluronic acid.
One study found that oral treatment of the polysaccharide rich fruiting body of Tremella fuciformis reduced the skin water and collagen losses induced by UV radiation (1). The same study also showed that use of Tremella mushroom ameliorated the skin structure alterations caused by skin photodamage (1).
Another study indicated that T. fuciformis extracts increased the synthesis of type I procollagen and reduced mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) in the human dermal fibroblast (HDFn cells). These data indicated that T. fuciformis extracts induce repression of cellular melanogenesis and protect against wrinkles caused by UVB-stimulated damage. (2)
Our organic mushroom extracts are prepared using a hot water extraction method, to ensure bioavailability of the beneficial polysaccharide constituents, and contain only 100% pure fruiting body. We scientifically verify and ensure, via 3rd party testing, beta-D-glucan percents, and our extracts contain absolutely no grains, rice, or fillers. This is unlike many other medicinal mushroom extracts, which are actually just the mushroom root structure (mycelium) grown on grain, and do not contain the actual fruiting body. Our Tremella mushroom extract is guaranteed to contain > 14% Beta-D-glucan content.
