Introduction:

Tremella Mushroom is rich in dietary fiber. Tremella Mushroom is also very rich in Dietary Fiber. Water insoluble fiber helps promote soft, bulky stools. Water soluble fiber forms a gel-like material which coats the gastric tract, delays glucose absorption and lowers cholesterol. Four tablets of Tremella Mushroom contain about 1 gram of both kinds of dietary fiber to supplement your dietary fiber intake from daily meals.
Tremella Mushroom as a beauty aid in Chinese tradition. Traditionally Chinese women, including the legendary beauty Yang Guifei, have been taking Tremella Mushroom to make the skin moist, soft and pliable. According to traditional Chinese medicine Tremella Mushroom nourishes the lung, stomach and kidney, strengthens the bones, helps maintain ideal weight and provides proper moisturization to the skin which belongs to the lung network.
Tremella Mushroom's water holding capacity is more than hyaluronic acid! Hyaluronic acid is a carbohydrate that occurs naturally in various parts of human body. In the skin tissue it helps retain the skin's natural moisture, hence it is used in skin-care products as a good water-binding agent. A polysaccharide contained in Tremella Mushroom has an excellent water holding capacity. It can hold water equivalent to nearly 500 times its weight, which is greater than hyaluronic acid. When the polysaccharide from Tremella Mushroom was applied to skin topically for 4 weeks, the water holding capacity of the skin and horny layer was greatly improved. The effect of oral administration of Tremella Mushroom to skin is yet to be studied. However, it has a long tradition of dietary use by the Chinese people for this purpose.
