Lion's mane is known to support healthy brain function. It is rich in a multitude of important compounds: beta-glucans, which are responsible for antitumor growth, immunomodulatory antioxidants, and neuroprotective chemicals.
Oxidative stress, against which these compounds protect, is closely linked to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) in nerve cells can be induced by certain compounds (hericenes and erinacines) present in Hericium erinaceus, making lion's mane an amazing aid to nerve development and function due to its neurotrophic factors.
Lion's mane is a species of mushroom that is beautiful in appearance, with long, shaggy cascading spines resembling a waterfall. Lion's berry grows on the trunks of hardwood trees in northern forests and has been used in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) for millennia, becoming a well-established candidate for promoting positive cognitive function.
Adults: Take 1/2 teaspoon daily for an extended period of time to notice effects or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
