Tremella fuciformis (snow fungus)
What it is
A translucent mushroom used in Chinese cuisine and traditional medicine for skin beauty. Contains polysaccharides with exceptional water-holding capacity, similar to hyaluronic acid. Lab studies show strong antioxidant and immune-modulating effects. Human clinical trials for oral supplementation are essentially nonexistent. Very safe as it has been consumed as a food for centuries. Evidence is almost entirely preclinical.
Dose
1–3 g/day mushroom powder or 500 mg extract; preclinical evidence only — no human supplement trials
Time of day & tips
Mix powder into warm drinks, soups, or smoothies. Take with or without food. Very safe as a food-derived ingredient.
