Lion’s Mane (Hericium Erinaceus) is a mushroom that grows on trees, with long strand-like features that look similar to a mane. They are found in North America, Europe and Asia. They are a widely known medicinal mushroom that has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese medicine. Recent studies on Lion’s Mane have shown it to be neuroprotective and have beneficial properties on the nervous system. †
The polysaccharides found in the cell walls of Lion’s Mane are the bioactive compounds responsible for the medicinal benefits. These compounds help to increase cognition, providing mental focus and clarity, as well as help to manage anxiety and depression. This balance helps the brain regulate and function properly and more efficiently. Studies show that along with helping to increase cognition, the polysaccharides in Lion’s Mane also help stimulate the expression of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which supports the regrowth of neurons and the overall health of the nervous system (eg: protect developing neurons and improve the general health and function of the brain).†
The polysaccharides in the Lion’s Mane Mushroom are the main antioxidants which scavenge free radicals preventing oxidative damage to DNA, proteins and fats. Studies have found that the bioactive compounds in the mushrooms have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other useful properties. This has caused an increased interest in mushroom extracts in the past few years.†
