Core Tip

Core Tip: Hericium erinaceus, a medicinal fungus in traditional Chinese medicine, has shown potential in chronic atrophic gastritis. Evidence suggests its anti-inflammatory, anti-Helicobacter pylori, and antineoplastic effects against gastric cancer, underlining its possible role as a complementary therapeutic option for gastrointestinal disorders, including gastric cancer prevention.
