According to experts, 100g of dried Grifola frondosa are packed with 22.75g of protein, 23.58g of amino acid, and other micro elements. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Grifola frondosa and its extracts evidently play the role of warding off cancer and virus, enhancing the immune system, lowering the blood pressure, blood sugar and blood fat, thus helping support healthy energy.
