Tremella Mushroom History

Tremella has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. Today it is extensively cultivated on sawdust logs in shade-houses. Tremella is a flowery shaped mushroom with a gelatinous texture. It is a rich source of carbohydrates with an atypically low amount of protein. It has been used in skin products for its moisturizing properties and is considered to have positive effects on the skin. Research has also demonstrated immunological potentiation.

Tremella Mushroom Uses

Proudly Made in China

In 1996, CEO and Founder of Nammex, Jeff Chilton organized organic mushroom production in China. That initiative paid off and today all Nammex mushrooms are grown or wildcrafted deep in the mountains of China by our Certified Organic production partners.
