Fungi, such as Hericium coralloides (Scop.) Pers., are promising raw materials for extracting bioactive substances with preventative potential. Materials and Methods: This review covered review and research articles published over the last 42 years and indexed in the databases of the eLIBRARY.RU, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, and Scopus. Results and Discussion: It has been established that H. coralloides is valued for its nutritional properties due to its rich protein, fat, and mineral composition. It is in demand for pharmaceutical purposes due to its content of bioactive metabolites. The most studied metabolites are lovastatin and ergothioneine. The activity of these biologically active substances against NAFLD has been confirmed by studies in vitro and in vivo. Market analysis revealed that most dietary supplements contain fungal mycelium or its extract. It is preferable to use pure metabolites of H. coralloides as nutrients in dietary supplements and functional foods, since it allows the scientists to standardize their doses, target the therapeutic effect (immunity, neuroprotection, or antitumor), and reduce the required intake of the product. Since this fungus is a rare species in nature, its biomass should be grown in vitro for industrial use. Conclusions: Further research will focus on developing methods for extracting H. coralloides metabolites and assessing their biopotential in vivo and clinical studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu18030418","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,27]],"date-time":"2026-01-27T15:41:56Z","timestamp":1769528516000},"page":"418","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dietary Use of Hericium coralloides for NAFLD Prevention"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3826-8048","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Darya","family":"Chekushkina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Genomics and DNA Sequencing Laboratory, Kemerovo State University, Kemerovo 650043, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2960-0216","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oksana","family":"Kozlova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food Technology Institute, Kemerovo State University, Kemerovo 650043, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6842-4537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Vechtomova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food Technology Institute, Kemerovo State University, Kemerovo 650043, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5630-3196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Prosekov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biocatalysis, Kemerovo State University, Kemerovo 650043, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.17116\/profmed202528071127","article-title":"Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: A view formation on the problem and its significance for the clinical practice","volume":"28","author":"Cheremukhina","year":"2025","journal-title":"Russ.
