HHV-6 New York Native Flashback #7

Two extracts from shiitake mushrooms act as immune system stimulators and possess anti-viral activities, according to scientists in Japan. LEM, an extract from immature shiitakes, and lentinan, which is an extract from the mushroom's fruit body, both appear to stimulate immune responses but differ in their anti-viral properties."
