What the evidence says

Also called Meshima or Sanghuang; a polypore mushroom used in Korean/Japanese traditional medicine. Human evidence is limited to a couple of small trials on NK-cell activity and immune markers (e.g., ~3g/day mycelial biomass in women with infertility-associated immune dysregulation); no RCTs establish clinical efficacy for a general population.

Preclinical and small pilot human studies only; no meta-analyses or large RCTs support clinical efficacy claims.

About Mesima Mushroom

Also called Meshima or Sanghuang; a polypore mushroom used in Korean/Japanese traditional medicine. Human evidence is limited to a couple of small trials on NK-cell activity and immune markers (e.g., ~3g/day mycelial biomass in women with infertility-associated immune dysregulation); no RCTs establish clinical efficacy for a general population. Preclinical/animal data suggest anti-inflammatory and antitumor mechanisms not yet confirmed in humans.

What Mesima Mushroom supports

  • May modestly increase natural killer (NK) cell activity — based on limited small human trials, not confirmed by larger RCTs

Clinical evidence

Limited clinical evidence. Preclinical and small pilot human studies only; no meta-analyses or large RCTs support clinical efficacy claims.
