Accepted payments: BLIK, card, Apple Pay, Google PayA white, lace-like fruiting body with a gelatinous structure that recalls a sea sponge or a snowflake, mildly sweet and neutral in taste with no trace of bitterness. It grows in the tropical climate of southern China, on hardwood, in a cultivation system with a host fungus. The cycle from seeding to harvest lasts from sixty to ninety days.
How to use
Serving recommended for consumption during the day: 1 teaspoon (about 1 g of extract) once a day. 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 dosage 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.
A white, lace-like mushroom resembling a sea sponge or a snowflake, called the silver ear in Chinese tradition. Here in the form of a fine powder with a sweetish, neutral taste and no trace of bitterness. It dissolves in cold and warm water, so it works everywhere: in a morning drink, in a dessert, in a beauty latte. Our extract is made from the mature tremella fruiting body, not from mycelium on grain. It is a mushroom that, in the Chinese classics, was the highest Yin tonic, and today it is valued as an ingredient in Asian care traditions. We leave it as it is: a mushroom with a beautiful tradition and interesting chemistry, without turning it into promises a supplement may not make.
From Mateusz's clinic
Patients often come to me with one question about tremella: is it that natural hyaluronic acid. And every time I explain the same thing: no, it is a different molecule. But it has a similar function, because it binds water. It is a subtle difference, and an important one to me, because I do not want to sell a shortcut that is untrue. In Chinese tradition tremella is the highest Yin tonic, a mushroom of Lung Yin and Stomach Yin. Put simply: a mushroom of dryness. Of dry skin, dry mucous membranes, of the heating season when everything dries out. It is a mushroom of long, soft work, not a quick-hit course. I also simply like it as a kitchen product, because it is the most pleasant of all the functional mushrooms: sweet, with no bitterness, dissolving in cold water.

Ingredients
Extract from the Tremella fruiting body (Tremella fuciformis, DER 10:1, standardised to a minimum of 30% total polysaccharides, TFPS and beta-glucans). Pack: 100 g of powder. No fillers, no maltodextrin, no magnesium stearate. 100% vegan.
Storage
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.
Precautions
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.
Research
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.
Producer
We work only with the mature fruiting body (not mycelium) of tremella from controlled cultivation in southern China (Fujian, Sichuan), in a two-species system with a host fungus of the genus Annulohypoxylon. Hot water extraction and low-temperature drying, standardised to a minimum of 30% total polysaccharides (TFPS and beta-glucans), with every batch tested at EUROFINS: heavy metals by ICP-MS, pesticides by a multi-residue panel, polysaccharides by the Megazyme method and HPLC. Producer: ALOHA WEALTH AND WELLNESS Sp. z o.o. The product is notified to the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate (GIS) in accordance with Polish food law.
Who it is for
Tremella in the LONGEVITY line was designed for a calm, everyday rhythm. It is most often chosen by people who:
- value a delicate, sweetish, non-bitter taste and prefer an addition that is easy to work into a drink, a dessert or a beauty latte;
- are building a daily ritual around the URODA signature and like to mindfully celebrate small habits;
- are looking for a plant-based, non-animal source with a function similar to hyaluronic acid, but want honest communication instead of the “natural hyaluronic acid” shortcut;
- complement a varied diet with a functional-mushroom extract and value a transparent, standardised composition;
- are starting out with functional mushrooms and prefer a gentle, everyday line over an intensive protocol.
What sets us apart
Fruiting-body extract, not mycelium on grain
Most tremella on the market is mycelium grown on grain or an extract diluted with maltodextrin, sold with a slogan about “natural hyaluronic acid”. We work with an extract from the mature tremella fruiting body, no mycelium and no starch from the substrate, at a 10:1 ratio: ten kilograms of raw material yield one kilogram of extract, standardised to a minimum of 30% total polysaccharides (TFPS plus beta-glucans).
Hot water extraction and low-temperature drying
TFPS are hydrophilic compounds that require a long, hot water extraction. Short, cold extractions give only trace amounts. We harvest at full maturity, and low-temperature drying protects the structure of the polysaccharides. What the laboratory cannot measure, the body recognises anyway, which is why we do not choose between precision and wholeness. We take both.
Organic raw material, batch-tested at EUROFINS
Our supplier is a specialised producer with many years of experience; every batch is tested in the independent EUROFINS laboratory, with particular emphasis on purity. We check for heavy metals (ICP-MS) and pesticide residues (a multi-residue panel across a broad spectrum of compounds). Polysaccharides are determined by the Megazyme method and HPLC. Every batch has an individual certificate.
Where we source tremella and who stands behind it
Tremella is a mushroom of Chinese tradition that needs warmth and humidity. We grow it in southern China, in the Fujian and Sichuan regions, in a tropical climate that Europe cannot provide. The two-species system with a host fungus of the genus Annulohypoxylon makes growing tremella harder than most mushrooms; the cycle from sowing to harvest takes from sixty to ninety days. The extraction is run by our partner Yi, twenty years in the field. The source is audited once a quarter.
About the numbers we do not race over
Brands today race over who has the bigger number: a higher percentage of polysaccharides, a bigger DER, a bigger “patented” anything. We do not play that game. Standardising to a minimum of 30% total polysaccharides in the extract is our minimum, verified in the laboratory. With tremella the flashy comparison to hyaluronic acid with a big number in the background is especially tempting, but we leave such slogans to others, because they usually say more about the marketing department than about the raw material. Tremella is living matter, every batch can be slightly different. That is why we do not sell you a number, but a carefully selected extract, tested for every batch.
Transparency instead of promises
This is where the competition writes what tremella “does” to your skin. We leave it blank, not because we have nothing to say, but because the law does not allow it, and with the “beauty mushroom” the temptation to throw out promises is at its greatest. We show the composition, the process and the origin, and leave the conclusions to you.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Classification in TCM
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.

90-day ritual
Three stages of one cycle
- 1
First days
You stir a teaspoon of powder (about 1 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.
- 2
First weeks
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.
- 3
90-day cycle
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.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Is tremella natural hyaluronic acid?
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.
Why do they call it the “beauty mushroom”?
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. The name refers to this tradition, not to any specific, proven cosmetic effect. Tremella is a food supplement, not a medicinal cosmetic.
How do I use the powder?
Serving recommended for consumption during the day: 1 teaspoon (about 1 g of extract). 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.
Does tremella have a pronounced taste?
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.
Where does the raw material come from?
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.
How long should the supplementation last?
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.
Is tremella safe?
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.
Will tremella help me with a specific skin problem?
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.
