The Hericium Erinaceus mushroom or Yamabushitake has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years. According to historical medical records, this supplement was prescribed for stomach disorders, ulcers, and gastrointestinal ailments. In North America, Native Americans used Hericium Erinaceus as a styptic, applied as a dried powder to cuts and scratches to stop them from bleeding. The mushroom was commonly found in Native Americans’ medicine bags. Recent studies have found that compounds in Hericium Erinaceus (hericenons C, D, E, F, G, H) may encourage the production of a protein called nerve growth factor (NGF), which is required in the brain for developing and maintaining important sensory neurons. Given the mechanism of action for Hericium Erinaceus, it seems natural that it offers benefits for a number of nerve disorders. This includes dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, neuronal degeneration, autism, and a few more. There is continuing research into its effects on obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. With long-term use, Hericium Erinaceus may improve memory function and lead to an increase in basal intelligence. Hericium Erinaceus has a number of immune-boosting, restorative, and organ protecting effects. The supplement stimulates the induction of interferons and helps to boost the white blood cell count. This is a key factor in supporting the body’s natural healing process. Hericium Erinaceus is also a culinary mushroom. To some, it gives a hint of seafood, crab, or lobster flavor.

INSTRUCTION

Dry powder:  One full measuring spoon of each extract daily dissolved in hot water. You can add honey or syrup for better taste. 

One 60-gram bottle per month.

Additional recommendations:

Dissolve 500-1000 mg of vitamin C in a big glass of water and take it together with mushrooms. In case of stomach problem with vitamin C (hyperacidity) - exclude vitamin and take mushrooms 30 minutes before a meal.

Try to eliminate legumes and dairy products for an hour before and after taking the mushrooms. These products bind with polysaccharides in mushrooms and prevent their absorption of the body.
