A pilot study conducted in Barcelona by Hifas da Terra and OAFI analyses the effects of the use of mushroom extracts in cases of osteoarthritis, also known as arthrosis. The complementary treatment with mushrooms has reduced the pain and inflammation as well as the patient´s mobility problems.
The key to the prevention of cognitive impairment could be in the unique antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substances that mushrooms contain. The conclusions of this research indicate a regular consumption could prevent by 50% the problems associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) such as memory loss, speech or attention difficulties, etc.
The regular consumption of fibre-containing foods and taking of prebiotics are two of the techniques that can address dysbiosis, or, the imbalance, of the intestinal microbiota.

erpenes are bioactive compounds present on Reishi extract with proven therapeutic actions. Among these actions, we highlight the following: anti-tumour, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antioxidants.
The superior fungi are composed of a myriad of molecules with proven therapeutic qualities such as polysaccharides, dietary fibre, and terpenes. Within the group of polysaccharides are the β-glucans (beta-glucans); bioactive compounds which have been shown to act on the immune system, regulating our immune response. They also affect the functioning of the cardiovascular system […]
The Neurofood objective includes the development of products from selected compounds with activity on memory, attention and learning.
According to a recent article published in the International Journal of Medical Sciences, extracts rich in polysaccharides of certain fungi inhibit the proliferation of tumour cells and their oncogenic potential, as well as the ability to migrate and invade other tissues.
