Description
Detailed information about the ingredients:
Crested hedgehog
Polysaccharides of the combed hedgehog neutralize the action of gastric acid, protecting the stomach walls from its effects in the presence of an ulcerative surface, stimulate the regeneration of the gastric mucosa, promote the healing of ulcers on the inner surface of the food tract. They also improve blood circulation in the digestive organs, stimulate absorption in the stomach and intestines, enhance peristalsis, and prevent the development of tumor processes in the alimentary canal.
In addition, mushroom polysaccharides stimulate the body’s immunity, reduce fatigue and lower the lipid content in the blood.
In laboratory conditions, when studying the medicinal properties of mushroom extract, its active components were identified: cyatan derivatives, erinacins, gericenones, β-D-glucans, ergosterol. Hedgehog contains 5 different antitumor polysaccharides, as well as other antitumor substances — phenols and fatty acids, which act directly on cancer cells, as with chemotherapy.
According to the results of clinical trials, ezhovik has been shown to be effective in benign and malignant tumors: fibroids, fibroids, cysts, pituitary adenomas, prostate adenomas, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, lung cancer, liver, breast cancer. Positive dynamics was observed in oncological diseases: tumors in patients significantly decreased in size, some malignant tumors completely resolved. The most promising is the use of mushroom extract for pancreatic cancer, since this type of cancer is difficult to treat with traditional methods.
In Russia, the antitumor effect of the combed hedgehog was studied by specialists from the G.F. Gauze State Research Institute for the Study of New Antibiotics of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and the N.D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry. Laboratory mice were inoculated with two tumors — EL-4 T-lymphoma and P388 T-cell lymphocytic leukemia, and then an aqueous extract of the fungus was injected into them. It was proved that the aqueous extract of the mushroom has a pronounced statistically significant independent antitumor effect against both studied tumors. The antitumor effect consisted in inhibiting tumor growth and prolonging the life of animals.
Korean researchers have found that substances of water and alcohol extracts of the crested hedgehog activate macrophages and increase their synthesis of nitric oxide and cytokine expression.
In oncological practice, mushroom extract can be used both as monotherapy and in the combined treatment of oncological diseases, in such cases, the extract is perfectly combined with chemotherapy and radiation, removing the negative symptoms of undergoing such procedures.
Additionally, the comb hedgehog activates T- and B-lymphocytes of the immune system, increasing the growth rate of lymphocytes twice and increasing their number three times from the original.
Gericenone and erinacin E isolated from the mycelial extract proved to be powerful stimulators of the synthesis of nerve cell growth factor (NGF protein, necessary for the brain to develop and preserve important sensory neurons), which immediately made them a potential drug for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Thus, erinacin E and gericenone can restore the nervous tissue of the brain and restore the functioning of neurons. That is why the mushroom is now being increasingly used as a nootropic drug.
Aqueous and alcoholic extracts of the fungus have shown antibacterial action, suppressing the growth of pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus and Helicobacter pylori, as well as antifungal in relation to Aspergillus niger.
In oriental medicine, it is used for neurasthenia, insomnia, impotence, to restore the nervous system, as a stimulator of growth and regeneration of nerve cell processes, as an effective antiseptic and immunostimulator, sometimes used to treat atrophic gastritis, bronchitis and lung diseases. The mushroom stimulates the digestion of food, improves overall well-being and improves metabolism, is used as an antiherontological drug.
From the point of view of fungotherapy , the medicinal properties of the combed hedgehog can be reduced to the following list:
- leukemia and oncological diseases of the stomach, esophagus, pancreas, liver; effective both as part of complex therapy and separately when other methods are not acceptable; increases the effectiveness of chemical and radiation therapy from 2 to 7 times, reduces side effects;
- benign neoplasms — polyps, cysts, adenomas, etc.;
- Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, neuroses, insomnia, depressive states;
- gastritis, stomach ulcer;
- strengthening and stimulation of immunity, maintenance of homeostasis of the body;
- gynecological diseases;
- slowing down the processes of aging and cell degeneration.
Powder from dried mushrooms is usually used as an active substance for the preparation of extracts at home.
Cordyceps armed
According to its medicinal, tonic and adaptogenic properties, cordyceps armed practically does not differ from Chinese cordyceps, but is much weaker (5-10 times). This determines an impressive difference in cost. To get a similar effect, you either need to eat 5-10 times more cordyceps powder than Chinese, or use it in the form of fine powder, which significantly increases digestibility. In general, in terms of the use of “Russian” cordyceps is similar to Chinese in everything.
According to recent studies, in terms of anticancer activity, cordyceps armed is practically not inferior to cordyceps Chinese.
Ginkgo double-bladed
Ginkgo leaves contain flavonoids, bioflavonoids, diterpenoids, ginkgolides, procyanidins, lactones, bilobalide, terpenes, acids, starch, B-sitosterol.
Ginkgo extract is known as a means to improve memory, concentration, and improve brain activity. Ginkgo improves blood supply to the brain, activates thought processes, increases the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels of the brain. Ginkgo preparations are used by people of creative professions (musicians, writers, scientists, doctors), people of professions where high concentration of attention is needed (air traffic controllers, drivers, programmers), and elderly people suffering from memory loss.
Contraindications for taking ginkgo: peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum in the acute stage, acute cerebrovascular accident, acute myocardial infarction, low blood pressure, pregnancy, lactation.
Bacopa Monier
The aboveground part of the bacopa contains bacosides, luteolin, apigenin, quercetin, alkaloids, amino acids (tryptophan) and other active substances.
Bacopa extract stimulates the brain, strengthens memory, improves concentration, attention, gives clarity of mind, nourishes the brain, rejuvenates brain cells and normalizes cerebral circulation; relieves fatigue after strenuous mental activity, prevents stress, eliminates headaches. It is effective for atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, helps to establish a balance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Increases working capacity, learning ability, improves short-term and long-term memory, treats amnesia. It expands the cognitive abilities of healthy people, activates their mental activity, the ability to memorize and reproduce information. The addition of bakopa promotes the intellectual development of the child, helps to assimilate a large amount of information, develops diction, relieves anxiety.
Contraindications for taking as a monopreparation: individual intolerance, pregnancy and lactation; while taking sedatives and medications for hypertension. Increasing the dosage will not enhance the effect, but may cause side effects in the form of nausea and diarrhea.
Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica)
It contains biflavonoids, saponins, essential oils, trace elements and vitamins.
Gotu Kola has a complex effect on the body: it improves brain activity and the functioning of the nervous system, strengthens connective tissues, its antioxidants protect cells and improve metabolic processes. Gotu kola soothes, improves sleep, slows down the aging process of brain cells and helps to preserve memory.
Contraindications for taking Gotu Cola: </ strong> individual intolerance, pregnancy and lactation. If there are severe gastrointestinal diseases, schizophrenia or elevated cholesterol or sugar levels, it is absolutely impossible to take centella in its pure form.
