Tremella (Silver Ear Mushroom)
A Premium Medicinal Fungus
Tremella
Tremella (Tremella fuciformis), commonly known as the Silver Ear Mushroom, is renowned for its exceptional hydrating and anti-aging properties. Used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, Tremella promotes collagen production, imbroves skin health, and enhances immune function. Its potent antioxidant effects also support overall welness, making it a key ingredient in health supplements, functional foods, and beauty products. At Herbal Treasure, we cultivate Tremella in greenhouses under scientifically managed conditions to ensure consistent quality and bioactivity.
Benefits and Advantages
Skin Hydration and Anti-Aging
Promotes moisture retention and collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and reducing fine lines.
Immune System Support
Stimulates immune cells, strengthening the body’s defense against infections.
Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Protects cells from oxidative stress and reduces inflammation.
Gut Health and Digestion
Supports a healthy gut microbiome and soothes gastrointestinal discomfort.
Energy and Recovery
Boosts vitality and promotes faster recovery from physical fatigue or illness.
Liver Health and Detoxification
Aids liver function by supporting detoxification and reducing toxin buildup.
Scientific Harvesting And Rigorous Quality Control
Harvest Timing Control
Tremella is hand-harvested at peak maturity, ensuring the highest concentration of active compounds.
Processing and Storage
After harvesting, Tremella undergoes low-temperature drying (40-50°C) to preserve bioactive compounds and enhance bioavailability. Low-temperature sterilization without irradiation maintains its natural integrity. The powder can be customized to 80 to 1000 mesh based on customer needs.
Strict Quality Inspection and Certifications
Each batch is rigorously tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial content, ensuring compliance with cGMP, FSSC, EU & US Organic standards.
Advanced Extraction Process of Tremella Mushroom Extracts
At Herbal Treasure, we utilize patented jet stream cell-wall breaking technology along with advanced concentration techniques to preserve the potency of Tremella extracts. Our low-temperature and normal-pressure extraction ensures that all beneficial compounds remain intact throughout the process.
Standardized Production and Scientific Management
At Herbal Treasure, we grow Tremella mushrooms using greenhouse cultivation techniques, ensuring optimal environmental control and consistent bioactivity. Our scientific management system guarantees stable quality and uniform standards across every batch. Our trained cultivation team monitors temperature, humidity, and airflow 24/7, creating ideal conditions for the mushroom to accumulate key bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides and beta-glucans. This meticulous process ensures Tremella’s therapeutic properties are preserved and enhanced.
What Makes Our Process Unique?
Choose Herbal Treasure’s Tremella extracts to provide your customers with premium quality products, supported by precise cultivation, advanced extraction, and rigorous quality control.
Scientific Research on Tremella fuciformis (Silver Ear / Snow Fungus)
1. Immunomodulation via Polysaccharides (TFP‑F1)
Recent research isolated a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide (TFP‑F1) with unique acetylated structures.
Mechanism: Activates macrophages through TLR4, inducing TNF-α and IL-6 secretion. O-acetyl groups are essential for this immune stimulation sciencedirect.com+14mdpi.com+14mdpi.com+14.

2. Skin Protection & Anti‑Aging
TFPs act as natural moisturizers, outperforming hyaluronic acid in maintaining skin hydration, barrier repair, and collagen promotion pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
Topical or oral application significantly reduced trans-epidermal water loss, skin thickening, and inflammation in a mouse model of atopic dermatitis pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
3. Antioxidant & Anti‑Inflammatory Effects
Low-molecular-weight Tremella polysaccharides (TFLP ~3 kDa) show superior antioxidant and stress resistance in C. elegans and mice compared to higher-weight forms elicityl-oligotech.com+13pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+13mdpi.com+13.
Significant free-radical scavenging observed in DPPH and nitric oxide assays mdpi.com.
4. Hyaluronic Acid–Like Polysaccharide
A 2025 study confirmed that non-animal hyaluronic acid (~87% of total) in Tremella extract mirrors key structural and chemical properties of HA used in cosmetics mdpi.com.
Summary Table
| Function | Evidence & Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Immune activation | TFP‑F1 activates TLR4 → TNF‑α/IL‑6; acetyl groups essential |
| Skin hydration / barrier | Enhances collagen, reduces TEWL, protects from UV and inflammation |
| Antioxidant protection | Low-MW polysaccharides boost stress resilience, scavenge ROS |
| HA-like moisturization | Contains non-animal hyaluronic acid (~2000 kDa), structurally similar to skin HA |
