Mild cognitive impairment and the importance of nutrition

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a condition that occurs as an intermediate stage between normal aging and dementia. It is a decline in cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and decision-making that does not yet significantly affect daily functioning. As the population ages, scientists are increasingly focusing on factors that might slow or prevent the development of MCI. Diet is one of the key factors that influence brain health, and recent research has specifically highlighted the potential protective role of mushrooms.

How have scientists studied the effect of mushrooms?

In one large study, researchers analyzed the dietary habits of older adults and assessed their cognitive status. They paid particular attention to the frequency and amount of mushroom consumption. Participants also completed extensive cognitive tests that assessed their memory, attention, and other cognitive functions. The aim of the study was to determine whether there was a link between regular mushroom consumption and a lower risk of developing MCI.

Remarkable results of a six-year research

In a fascinating six-year study, from 2011 to 2017, researchers made an interesting discovery about the potential benefits of mushrooms for seniors. The study involved 663 participants who were 60 years old and older at the start. The results were striking: those who ate more than 300 grams of cooked mushrooms per week had half the chance of developing mild cognitive impairmentResearchers have attributed this positive effect to bioactive compounds in mushrooms, such as ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant, and other anti-inflammatory substances that help protect neurons from damage and oxidative stress. This is a testament to the power of nature and the wonders that can be discovered through scientific research.

Why are tinctures more effective?

While consuming mushrooms in their natural form is incredibly beneficial, medicinal mushroom tinctures have an added advantage. By using extractions that extract the therapeutic components of mushrooms, such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and antioxidants, we can include concentrated substances that are otherwise more difficult to absorb in their natural form into a single drop of tincture. This means that consuming tinctures can achieve a stronger and faster therapeutic effect.

Bioactive compounds for better absorption

Tinctures are prepared using special extraction processes that allow for better bioavailability of key compounds. This means that the body can utilize the therapeutic properties of the mushrooms more quickly and effectively, which helps improve brain function and protect against neurodegenerative processes.
