Hericium erinaceus action on the nervous system:
Hericium erinaceus has bioactive compounds that significantly induce the synthesis of NGF in vivo and in vitro, showing that in patients with dementia it greatly improves the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). It provides protection against stress-dependent neuronal death at the endothelial reticulum level, as well as oxidative stress.

Hericium erinaceus extract promotes the normal development of cerebellar cells, in turn showing a regulatory effect in the process of myelin genesis in in vitro processes. It offers neuroprotection against focal cerebral ischemia and can be clinically useful for the prevention of cerebral infarction.
The research group led by Dr. Moldavan showed that Hericium erinaceus extract exerts a neurotropic action and improves the myelination process of mature myelinating fibers, not affecting the growth of nerve cells in vitro, avoiding any toxic effect or damage. in nerve cells.
Through double-blind studies, it was observed that the patients who were administered Hericium erinaceus had significantly higher scores on the Hasegawa Dementia Scale (HDS) compared to the patients who were administered placebo, concluding that Hericium erinaceus is an efficient compound as a treatment in case of Mild Cognitive Impairment.
Currently represents one of the hopes to combat the Alzeheimer.
