Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.

An edible fungus long used in Chinese cooking and traditional medicine, valued for its gelatinous texture, which comes from its high polysaccharide content.

Why it’s used

Taken by some for skin hydration, general immune support, or as a source of dietary polysaccharides.

What the evidence says

Human clinical evidence for oral tremella supplementation is very limited; most existing research is preclinical, examining its polysaccharides in cell or animal models rather than in people, so effects from oral use in humans remain unestablished.
