Both A. auricula and A. polytricha are considered as species of Mu Er in Chinese medicine and today are used interchangeably. It is a jelly fungus which often resembles an ear; originally known as Judas's ear, the name has become shortened over many years to be known as the "Jews' Ear" fungus in English.
This interesting fungus has had its traditional benefits become better known to the West in recent years; mainly its positive effects on the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, making it particularly beneficial when suffering the effects of a cough, cold or flu-like virus - especially one with a runny nose!
In common with other jelly fungi, Auricularia Auricula fruiting bodies contain high levels of polysaccharides and these are the main bioactive component, although phenols have also been shown to contribute to the total antioxidant capacity.
Our Auricularia Auricula (Wood Ear / Jews Ear) 30% Polysaccharide Extract standardised to guarantee by volume 30% pure polysaccharides.
5-HTP The Wood Ear has a number of interesting proven health benefits.
