About Kikurage Essence
Kikurage is a treasure chest of nutrition!
The kikurage mushroom has been prized in Asia for its ectiveness in promoting youth and longevity — and treated as a precious source of high quality nutrition — for over 2,000 years. In its dried state, kikurage is rich
in vitamins and minerals, and is recommended by doctors, pharmacists, and dietitians. Kikurage Essence is a dietary supplement that captures the nutritional benetits of this superfood in a safe and convenient form. The
supplement is made in Japan, and was recently reformulated with matcha green tea for additional vitamin C.
Kikurage Essence is designed to be an essential part of any healthy lifestyle.
