50% water-alcohol extract from the Tremella fruiting body (Tremella fuciformis), DER 10:1, dual water-alcohol extraction, standardised to a minimum of 30% beta-glucans (Megazyme method); 50% powdered Tremella fruiting body. Pack: 100 g of powder. No fillers, no maltodextrin, no magnesium stearate. 100% vegan.
Serving: 1.5 g (2 scoops) daily, including 750 mg of tremella extract (including min. 225 mg beta-glucans) and 750 mg of powdered fruiting body.
Add 2 scoops (1.5 g) to water, tea, coffee, a smoothie or food, any time of day. Do not pour boiling water over it.
Serving recommended for consumption during the day: 1.5 g (2 scoops) daily. Tremella has a sweetish, neutral taste with no bitterness and dissolves in both cold and warm water, so it blends most easily of all the mushrooms: stir it into water, tea, coffee, a smoothie, yoghurt, porridge or a dessert. It works wonderfully in cold beauty drinks.
Important: the TFPS polysaccharides are stable up to around 80-85 degrees Celsius, so for hot drinks avoid boiling water and add the powder to a slightly cooled drink, do not cook it. A 10:1 extract variant is also available; use it according to the serving stated on the package label.
Tremella neither stimulates nor calms, so you can choose any time of day: morning, midday or evening, whatever suits you. Its neutral taste and creamy consistency pair nicely with cacao, plant milks and fruit smoothies. We suggest a minimum of 90 days of regular use, the minimum time we suggest to get acquainted with functional mushrooms. Consistency matters most. It is an everyday addition, not a one-off “shot”. Do not exceed the recommended daily serving.
In a tightly closed package, in a dry, cool and dark place, preferably at room temperature, away from direct light. The extract is hygroscopic, so protect it from moisture. Keep away from children. Shelf life 24-36 months in the original packaging. The TFPS polysaccharides are stable up to around 80-85 degrees Celsius, so for hot drinks avoid boiling water and add the powder to a slightly cooled drink.
Consult a doctor before use if: you take anticoagulant medicines (for example warfarin), as monitoring of clotting parameters is then advised; you take glucose-lowering medicines (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, gliptins, GLP-1 agonists), as monitoring of blood glucose is advised; you are planning surgery or a dental procedure (stop the product at least 14 days beforehand). The product is not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or people under 18.

Is it for me?
Tremella is a mushroom of the evening and the kitchen. It is most often chosen by people building a calm, everyday ritual around a small habit, not a one-off "shot".
In the evening you stir the powder into a warm (not boiling) drink or a dessert. Its sweetish, neutral taste does not change the drink’s flavour.
It dissolves in cold and warm water, so it works in a morning drink, a smoothie, yoghurt or a beauty latte, whatever suits you.
The fruiting body, a 10:1 extract and testing of every batch matter to you, not the shortcut "natural hyaluronic acid".

They absorb and hold water, which is why the drink feels smooth and why Tremella has a traditional place in Asian cuisine.
Proszek · LONGEVITY
For water, tea, coffee, a smoothie, yoghurt or a dessert. Dissolves cold and warm.
Day 1
You stir 2 scoops of powder (1.5 g) into water, a smoothie, yoghurt or a dessert. Its sweetish, neutral, non-bitter taste means tremella disappears into the drink without changing its flavour. It also dissolves in cold water, so it works wonderfully in cold beauty drinks.
Weeks 2-3
You reach for the package before you think it is time. The powder becomes part of a morning drink or an evening ritual. In Eastern tradition tremella is a mushroom of long, soft work, not an explosion. It is an everyday tonic.
Day 90
A full ninety days, the minimum that Eastern medicine gives for assessing a protocol. Tremella is a classic shang yao mushroom, for long, daily supplementation. After the cycle you decide: continue, take a break or return seasonally, for example during the heating season.
Why Aloha?
You can check each of them on the label and in the batch tests.
The Tremella fruiting body has a lacy, jelly-like structure and contains TFPS polysaccharides and beta-glucans. We work only with the mature fruiting body, never mycelium grown on grain.
Tremella needs warmth and humidity, so we grow it in the Fujian and Sichuan regions, in a two-species system with a host fungus. Every batch is tested in an independent, accredited laboratory.
TFPS are hydrophilic compounds that require a long, hot water extraction. Dual water-and-alcohol extraction and low-temperature drying protect the structure of the polysaccharides.
An honest measurement. Beta-glucans are measured with the enzymatic Megazyme method, which tells them apart from starch and does not inflate the result.
Heavy metals and pesticide residues. We publish batch results on the Research page.
The cheaper extract is usually the most expensive: you pay less and get more filler or an empty slogan. Compare for yourself.

„Tremella is my way to slow down in the evening. Gentle, sweetish, unhurried.”
In the classical texts of Chinese medicine, tremella was the highest-prized Yin tonic, linked to supporting the dryness of mucous membranes and long-term care. I treat it as a steady part of the evening, not a quick fix. With natural supplementation, consistency and regularity are key.
Give the ritual time. The first pack (100 g) lasts approximately 66 days, a full cycle is 90 days of regular use. I recommend the powder for an evening drink or a dessert, when you want to slow down before sleep.
A question about tremella? Write to me, I answer personally.
Write to meReviews of Aloha Fungi: The rating next to the price covers the whole shop. Reviews of Tremella itself are shown below, verified only.
No. These are two different molecules of different chemical structure. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, while tremella polysaccharides (TFPS) are glucuronoxylomannan. What connects them is physical function: both bind water and form a humectant network. This is why tremella is spoken of as a non-animal source with a similar function, but not as “natural hyaluronic acid”, because that would be chemically untrue.
It is a traditional, cultural name. In China tremella has for centuries been an ingredient of court cuisine and a tonic used long-term, and today it is valued in Asian traditions as an ingredient in care rituals and Far-Eastern cuisine, among other things because of tremella polysaccharides, which bind water. The name refers to this tradition, not to any specific, proven cosmetic effect. Tremella is a food supplement, not a medicinal cosmetic.
Serving recommended for consumption during the day: 1.5 g (2 scoops). Tremella has a sweetish, neutral taste with no bitterness and dissolves in cold and warm water, so you can add it to water, a smoothie, yoghurt, porridge, a dessert or a beauty drink. For hot drinks add it to slightly cooled ones, because the polysaccharides are sensitive to boiling water. We suggest a minimum of 90 days of regularity.
No. It is one of the most pleasant-tasting functional mushrooms: sweetish, neutral, with no bitterness. Thanks to this it dissolves in drinks and desserts without changing their taste, unlike the somewhat bitter chaga or the forest-umami shiitake.
From controlled cultivation in southern China (Fujian, Sichuan). Tremella needs a tropical climate and does not grow in Europe, so wild harvesting in Poland is impossible. It is grown in a two-species system with a host fungus of the genus Annulohypoxylon, because tremella is a parasite of wood-decaying fungi.
90 days as a full cycle. As a classic shang yao mushroom, tremella works well in a long, daily routine. It is a mushroom of soft, long work, not a quick effect. After a full cycle you decide: continue, return seasonally or stop.
Tremella is one of the best-tolerated functional mushrooms and has been safely eaten in Chinese cuisine for over a thousand years. Even so, if you take anticoagulant medicines or glucose-lowering medicines, consult its use with a doctor (monitoring of the relevant parameters is advised). The product is not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
We will not answer. If we did, it would be an illegal health or cosmetic claim. Tremella is a food supplement, not a medicine or a medicinal cosmetic. If you have a specific dermatological problem, consult it with a doctor.
Tremella neither stimulates nor calms, so you can pick any time of day: morning, midday or evening, whatever suits you. Many customers add it to an evening ritual, because its neutral, sweetish taste pairs well with a warm drink before bed, but that is a matter of routine, not a requirement.
The serving is 1.5 g (2 scoops) daily: 750 mg of tremella extract (including min. 225 mg beta-glucans) and 750 mg of powdered fruiting body. A 100 g pack lasts approximately 66 days at this serving. Do not exceed the recommended daily serving.
If you take anticoagulant medicines (for example warfarin) or glucose-lowering medicines (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, gliptins, GLP-1 agonists), consult a doctor before starting, as monitoring of the relevant parameters is then advised. Stop the product at least 14 days before a planned surgical or dental procedure.
The product is not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people under 18, or people with a mushroom allergy. People taking prescription medication or with chronic conditions should consult a doctor before supplementing.
In a tightly closed package, in a dry, cool and dark place, preferably at room temperature, away from direct light. The extract is hygroscopic, so protect it from moisture and keep it away from children. Shelf life is 24-36 months in the original, sealed package.
The deeper layer
Research, tradition and the chemistry of the fruiting body in one place. Open what interests you.
These studies looked at Tremella polysaccharides, not our product. We show them so you know where the reputation of this mushroom comes from.
Tremella polysaccharides (TFPS) are studied for their structure and water-binding capacity.
A 2019 review describes TFPS as polysaccharides built mainly of glucuronoxylomannan, responsible for the fruiting body’s jelly-like, water-binding structure, and summarises their chemical properties studied across numerous papers.
Wu et al., International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 2019 ↗Extraction methods and structural characterisation of Tremella polysaccharides are the subject of ongoing scientific reviews.
A 2026 review summarises advances in the extraction, structural characterisation and quality control of polysaccharides from Tremella fuciformis.
Liao et al., Carbohydrate Research 2026 ↗A high-molecular-weight fraction of Tremella polysaccharides is studied for its structural similarity to hyaluronic acid.
In a 2025 chemical and physical analysis, the TFPS fraction above 2000 kDa accounted for about 87.76% of the extract and showed a structural profile close to hyaluronic acid (NMR, FTIR, MALDI-TOF). This is a study of the raw material, not of our product or its effect on skin.
Galla et al., Foods 2025 ↗Cultural context, not a scientific claim or promise of effect.
In the tropical and subtropical forests of southern China, on the wood of deciduous trees, grows a white, jelly-like mushroom with a lacy, wrinkled structure resembling a sea sponge or a snowflake. This is Tremella (Tremella fuciformis), in Polish trzęsak morszczynowaty. In China it is called Yin Er (银耳, “silver ear”), in Japan shiro kikurage, and in English snow fungus or silver ear.
In Chinese tradition tremella has a long history. Li Shizhen described it in the famous work Ben Cao Gang Mu of 1578 as the most highly prized Yin tonic. Its most famous consumer was said to be the concubine Yang Guifei from the court of Emperor Xuanzong in the eighth century. This is a historical anecdote, not a recommendation. Today tremella has become a valued ingredient in Asian care traditions, and cosmetic brands use it as a premium ingredient. This is the tradition that Mateusz, the founder of Aloha Fungi and a Doctor of Acupuncture (WFAS), works with day to day.
The description below is an account of tremella within the conceptual system of Traditional Chinese Medicine, developed over more than two millennia. It is not a scientific claim or a promise of any health effect. Concepts such as Yin or the Lung meridian do not correspond one-to-one to Western anatomy or physiology. Treat this section as cultural context. In classical TCM, tremella is the highest Yin tonic, associated with Lung Yin and Stomach Yin. It was traditionally linked to supporting the dryness of mucous membranes, body fluids and long-term care. As an ingredient of court cuisine it was a tonic used for centuries. In the clinic I describe it briefly: a mushroom of dryness and of long, soft work. The URODA signature refers to this old culinary and cosmetic reputation of the mushroom, not to any proven action.
The tremella fruiting body contains mainly TFPS, the Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides, built of mannose, xylose, fucose and glucuronic acid. These account for the mushroom’s jelly-like, water-binding structure, alongside beta-1,3/1,6-glucans, uridine, mannitol and ergosterol.
TFPS is not hyaluronic acid. These are two different molecules of different chemical structure, connected by physical function: both bind water through hydrogen bonds. That is why we honestly describe tremella as a plant-based source with a similar function, not as "natural hyaluronic acid".
What does the tremella fruiting body contain? Above all TFPS, the Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides, whose main component is glucuronoxylomannan, a large molecule built of mannose, xylose, fucose and glucuronic acid. Plus beta-1,3/1,6-glucans, uridine (a nucleoside), mannitol and ergosterol, a precursor of vitamin D2. It is precisely the TFPS that account for the mushroom’s jelly-like, water-binding structure.
The most common mental shortcut about tremella is: “it is natural hyaluronic acid”. And it is untrue. It is worth understanding why, because this is the difference between marketing and biochemistry.
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan built of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. Tremella TFPS is glucuronoxylomannan built of mannose, xylose, fucose and glucuronic acid.
These are two different molecules, of different structure and different biosynthetic pathway. Tremella does not contain hyaluronic acid and does not produce it.
What connects them? Physical function. Both compounds bind water through hydrogen bonds and form a three-dimensional, humectant network.
In the analysis by Mendes and colleagues from 2025, the TFPS fraction with a mass above 2000 kDa was described as a structural equivalent of hyaluronic acid at 87.76 percent.
This is why tremella can honestly be spoken of as a plant-based, non-animal source with a function similar to hyaluronic acid (in English a “non-animal hyaluronic acid source”). It cannot, however, be called “natural hyaluronic acid”, because chemically that is untrue. We watch this line.
Let us be honest: these are studies of the raw material and its molecules, most often conducted in the laboratory, not of our supplement.
They do not show that tremella is a medicine or that it resolves any health problem on its own; they show what this mushroom is at the chemical level and how its polysaccharides are built.
Standardising the composition (raw material at a minimum of 30% total polysaccharides) is, for us, a reason to care about extract quality, not a basis for health promises. Bibliographic data: PubMed.
The cited papers concern the raw material and its compounds, not our product. They are not claims about treatment.
A food supplement does not replace a varied diet or a healthy lifestyle. This product is not a medicinal product. Do not exceed the recommended daily serving. Not for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or by children. If in doubt, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
