Research context
A small randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adults with mild cognitive impairment reported higher cognitive-function scores during 8–16 weeks of Hericium erinaceus intake; a later pilot study in healthy young adults also found mixed task-specific results. These studies used specific preparations and doses, so they cannot be treated as evidence for the NeuroPrime formula itself.
