Snow Mushroom- Tremella Fuciformis

Tremella, commonly known as the Snow Mushroom or Beauty Mushroom, has been used for centuries by Chinese royalty to preserve youthful, healthy skin. In recent years, Tremella has attracted growing scientific interest due to its strong antioxidant activity, immune-modulating effects, neuroprotective properties, and skin-protective benefits.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tremella has been used for over 1,600 years and is considered a “beauty food.” It is traditionally used to nourish Yin and Qi of the lungs, stomach, and kidneys.

Key Active Compounds:

• Tremella Polysaccharides (TPS): Among the most powerful natural moisturizing agents known, capable of binding up to 400 times their weight in water. Beyond hydration, they exert systemic biological activity.

• Mannoproteins: Mannose-bound proteins with antioxidant properties; support skin hydration, act as prebiotics, support intestinal mucosa, and modulate immune function.

• Tremellan: A complex polysaccharide shown to act directly as an antioxidant and to protect liver and heart cells.

• Additional compounds: Terpenoids, essential amino acids, and significant levels of minerals such as zinc, copper, manganese, magnesium, and selenium.
  

Evidence-Based Medical Properties:

• Skin hydration and anti-aging: Tremella improves skin health both when taken orally and when applied topically, supporting moisture retention and skin elasticity.

• Antioxidant activity: Tremella polysaccharides neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage to the liver and nervous system; studies also suggest a beneficial effect on blood lipid levels.

• Immune modulation and anti-inflammatory effects: Tremella gently activates immune cells while inhibiting inflammatory pathways.

• Cognitive effects: Animal studies show improvements in spatial memory and neuroprotection in models of Alzheimer’s disease.
  

Summary:

Tremella is best known for its ability to protect the skin, maintain hydration, and support collagen formation. In addition, it supports:
