A special extract of chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus), called INO10, improved memory and reduced hallmark Alzheimer’s damage in 3xTg-AD mice. After three months of treatment, the mice showed better performance in maze tests, with significant reductions in brain plaque (Aβ), tau tangles, and inflammation. The extract’s active compound, inotodiol, worked without affecting movement or causing toxicity.
