What is Shitagen α (シタゲンα)

Shitagen α is a patented Japanese functional ingredient that is most often used in dietary supplements to support immunity, reduce fatigue and improve overall tone.

In most products, it belongs to the category of fermented or processed natural ingredients (often based on microorganisms or plant extracts). It is not a vitamin or hormone, but a functional complex.

How Shitagen α is beneficial

• Immune system support — helps activate the body’s natural defence mechanisms and is used during periods of increased stress and seasonal changes
• Fatigue reduction — promotes recovery from physical and mental fatigue and maintains energy levels without stimulants
• Anti-inflammatory support (mild) — may help the body better cope with background inflammatory processes
• General well-being and stress adaptation — often added to anti-stress, anti-aging and wellness formulas, acts gently and cumulatively
