BEFUNGIN is a restorative and regenerative medicine based on the Chaga mushroom. This supplement stimulates metabolism, restores hematogenesis, and strengthens the immune system after long-term illnesses.

We know that nootropics are used for the enhancement of cognitive functions, including memory. Also, we know that there is a lack of studies on some of these preparations. However, some of them are discussed frequently, and there is a lot of placebo-controlled studies on these substances. We found the list with 5 most science-backed nootropics for your improving memory!

According to the article on the immunity, the human body has the so-called innate immunity, which is known to neutralize alien and potentially dangerous agents, including pathogenic bacteria and viruses. The most important component of this innate immunity is interferon protein. However, our own interferons are not always produced in sufficient quantities in the body.

Interferon alfa-2b is an antiviral or antineoplastic drug that consists of 165 amino acid residues. It is a recombinant form of the protein interferon alpha-2 that has been used for a wide range of indications, including viral infections and cancers. This drug is approved around the world for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, chronic hepatitis B, hairy cell leukemia, Behçet's disease, chronic myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, follicular lymphoma, carcinoid tumor, mastocytosis, and malignant melanoma. The medication is also being used in clinical trials to treat patients with SARS-CoV-2.

Interferons are a group of proteins that are produced in the human body. They help the body fight the agents of various diseases, primarily viral ones. Interferons have minimal side effects, relatively small concentrations and they are often prescribed for the treatment of colds, flu, and SARS for the different age groups of patients.

Nootropics are incredible! But there are some instances when one may want to avoid them. What should we know about nootropics before taking them?

We believe that if you're on our website already, there is no need to explain what are the nootropics. But some of you can ask yourself a lot of questions about using them, such as "Am I cheating?", "Is it dangerous?", "Is it ethical?", "Is it right?", etc. A very interesting article we've found at Psychology Today recently, that is devoted to attempts to answer some of such kind of questions.

The antiviral drug Arbidol (Umifenovir) was originally designated to combat seasonal influenza but it has been used in China in combination with other medications to treat patients with COVID-19 from the very outbreak of the pandemic. It has shown the potential to inhibit viruses from many different families and found to be effective for COVID-19 in vitro.

In late December 2019, an outbreak of an emerging disease (COVID-19) because of a novel coronavirus started in Wuhan, China and rapidly spread across the globe. To date, there is no medical drug for the treatment of coronavirus. The severe emergency caused by the epidemic allowed clinicians to use antiviral drugs, despite the lack of evidence.

Nowadays, it's popular not to just treat mental diseases using nootropics, but also to practice biohacking by healthy individuals. However, we should understand that there may be some risks of using nootropics, which means that we have to be as conscious as possible while applying such preparations.

Nowadays the problem of treating influenza and other viral diseases is extremely urgent because they make up an impressive share of all infectious diseases. Every year in the winter months, influenza spreads over several continents. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 5–10% of adults and 20–30% of children suffer from influenza every year, while terminal episodes amount to around 250–500 thousand people. Fortunately, the human body is equipped with the immune system, a means of protection against foreign microorganisms. The difficulty lies in the fact that it takes the system several days to develop "weapons", interferons and antibodies, in quantities sufficient to struggle with the disease. The pharmaceutical industry is attempting to help the immune system accelerate recovery, reduce the effects of infection, and prevent morbidity. The Soviet Union began the development of a broad-spectrum antiviral drug capable of suppressing influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) in the middle of the last century. In 1974 scientists of the All-Union Scientific Research Chemical-Pharmaceutical Institute, Institute of Medical Radiology of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, and the Leningrad Bacteriological and Diagnostic Institute developed an antiviral drug

You may be aware of the current unprecedented global outbreak of the coronavirus and the warnings issued by the CDC about how the virus appears to be mutating. In such an event, often the issue is overblown. We have no idea how big this current outbreak will turn out or whether the CDC will be able to stem the tide. However, there are some tools we can add to our toolbox to lessen the chances we will be affected. Here's what we're personally doing at CosmicNootropic to protect ourselves.
