Anyone heard of this? Had a patient who is taking it and wanted to know what I thought about it. Of course I stared at him blankly. Was a great ice breaker for the appointment...

Looked it up later and it's a mushroom that supposively helps with cognition? Seems like hooplah.

BTW I'm primary care.

Cheers.

Never seen it personally, but a quick pubmed search yielded this brief review:

Neurohealth Properties of Hericium erinaceus Mycelia Enriched with Erinacines

Like most supplements, the level of science here is pretty comical, but this should give you an idea of what they are talking about.
