Due to its pleasant flavor and aroma, the tremella mushroom is used as an ingredient in various dishes and desserts. However, from the perspective of the dietary and pharmaceutical industries, the most important component is the polysaccharide fraction obtained from it, consisting of xylose, mannose, and glucuronic acid linked by an α-1,3-glycosidic bond, with side chains composed of galactose, arabinose, and small amounts of fucose.

The macerate obtained from it is known in cosmetics as a natural substitute for hyaluronic acid , as it has strong moisturizing and anti-aging properties.

In medicines and dietary supplements, Tremella fucus’s adaptogenic properties are valued – it protects the body from the negative effects of stress and supports concentration and memory. Its broad activity is also known as beneficial in preventing lifestyle diseases. Substances contained in the extract lower blood glucose and cholesterol levels, support body detoxification, and support healthy intestinal function.
