Tremella Mushroom (Tremella fuciformis) is a beautiful fungus that can do as much for the inside of your body, as it can on the outside. Known as the ‘beauty mushroom’, this gelatinous flowering fungus is often called ‘nature’s hyaluronic acid.’
NUTRITION:
- One cup of tremella has 326 calories, less than one gram of fat, and more than 12 grams of protein.
- Tremella is extremely high in dietary fiber, offering 178% of the daily recommended intake.
- Tremella mushroom has high concentrations of vitamin D (essential for bone health), antioxidants, and minerals like potassium.
Because of its high antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and ultra-hydrating properties, it’s also a coveted ingredient in luxury skincare. Tremella behaves much like hyaluronic acid by pulling moisture to the skin, which in turn improves elasticity and can give a more youthful appearance. The gelatinous molecules of tremella make it easier to penetrate the skin. That in turn provides more hydration potential in skin care formulas.
