A new review explores how medicinal mushrooms may help manage multiple sclerosis by reducing inflammation, boosting immune responses, and protecting nerve cells. Compounds like polysaccharides and terpenes were linked to enhanced B and T cell activity, stronger antioxidant defenses, and better gut-liver function, all of which may contribute to slowing MS progression.
