Benefits of Lion's Mane

What is Lion's Mane?

Lion's Mane is a medicinal and edible Holarctic mushroom ( Hericium erinaceus ) that is considered one of nature's best compounds for cell regeneration. It has been used for centuries by Chinese culture as a superfood thanks to its medicinal and neuroprotective effects.

The Lion's Mane mushroom is recognized worldwide for its effectiveness in the regeneration of new neurons since it stimulates Nerve Growth Factor (NGF).

What is Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)?

Discovered in 1956, it is a protein found mainly in the nervous system whose main function is the regulation, maintenance, survival and creation of new neurons and nerve endings.

In 1986 the Nobel Prize was awarded for this great discovery and it was not until 1991 that it was discovered that the Lion's Mane mushroom contained this protein, which is produced in the hippocampus throughout our lives and modulates cholinergic receptors to promote neuroplasticity and learning.

These special proteins that function to regenerate neurons. The Lion's Mane mushroom contains two unique classes of NGF: hericenones and erinacins that easily cross the blood-brain barrier.

Nerve regeneration helps relieve symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's disease.

What is it for?

Hundreds of studies conclude that the Lion's Mane mushroom stimulates the repair and creation of neurons. Additionally, it boosts neurotransmitters and signals that affect memory, learning, and mood.

The Lion's Mane mushroom also helps produce myelin, the covering of neurons, which facilitates neuronal communication and the transmission of nerve impulses.

Scientific studies show that:

It helps produce new neurons and keep existing ones healthy.
It has anticancer, antihypertensive, immunomodulatory, hypolipidemic, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.
Reduces anxiety and depression.
When there is a low Nerve Growth Factor, long-term memory is affected ; Lion's Mane increases Nerve Growth Factor , thus improving memory and neuroplasticity.
In people with a mild cognitive defect, the fungus significantly increases their cognition.
It helps prevent and treat cognitive dysfunctions such as Dementia , Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Helps regenerate damaged or injured nerves .
It may be useful for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

How does the ingredient work in the brain?

The medicinal mushroom Lion's Mane contains several polysaccharides such as FI-1a and FIII 2b, Herinacin Ie, Herinacin H and others such as A, B, C, D and E that induce the production of Nerve Growth Factor, which is responsible for stimulating the generation of both new neurons and the protective myelin layer of the brain.

In summary, the Lion's Mane mushroom contains components and ingredients that stimulate the growth of new neurons and protect our brain from possible damage.

Why do we need it?

As we age we face the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Dementia, etc. Our neurons and brain cells tend to die over time and are not replaced by new ones. The neuroplasticity of our brain decreases and we damage the neurotransmitters in our brain due to anxiety, depression or a low mood.

Lion's Mane helps us counteract all the changes that come with old age by helping us with neuronal and cellular regeneration, helping to improve our mood, learning capacity, neuroplasticity and significantly increasing the health of our brain.

How does it help you?

Previously, scientists concluded that the brain could not produce new neurons. Today it is known that the brain can generate new neurons, but that it does not necessarily do so naturally.

The Lion's Mane mushroom increases Nerve Growth Factor, which is responsible for the generation of new neurons and nerve regeneration. In this way it helps neuroplasticity, learning, memory and prevents neurodegenerative diseases.

It feels?

The Lion's Mane mushroom does not have any stimulating effects. Most users do not experience any abnormalities immediately after consuming the product, however as the weeks go by they confirm having a better mood and greater mental clarity.

Users have reported having greater depth perception and awareness, as well as an improvement in the sense of smell, other testimonials mention the ability to solve problems and a superior ease of learning.

Feelings and perceptions are subjective and personal, however, the fact that an ingredient does not immediately show an effect on our individual perception does not nullify its effectiveness or the results discovered in scientific studies.

What do scientific studies say?

There are a wide variety of studies that indicate that the Lion's Mane mushroom increases the number of neurons, long-term memory, and brain health.

A double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study was conducted in Japan in people aged 50 to 80 years who were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. The volunteers received the Lion's Mane mushroom 3 times a day for 16 weeks, and underwent exams at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks. In each exam, the volunteers who were ingesting this mushroom showed significant advances in their cognition.

Being a relatively new medicinal mushroom in the world of science, at the moment there are no studies that analyze the effects of Lion's Mane on Alzheimer's in humans, however, studies carried out in animals have been consistent in their results; It reduces symptoms of memory loss and prevents neuronal damage caused by beta-amyloid plaques, which accumulate in the brain during Alzheimer's disease.

In conclusion, Lion's Mane shows evidence of preventing Dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's in animals, showing faith and hope for those of us who are at risk of contracting any of these diseases.

Side effects

Likewise, we remind you that this product is not a medicine, so we recommend consulting your doctor in case of pregnancy, breastfeeding or for children under 6 years of age.

The Lion's Mane mushroom is non-toxic and considered safe. The few reported cases mention only itching when high doses are consumed.

Because it is an immunomodulatory ingredient, it should not be consumed if immunosuppressive compounds are taken.

In animals, up to 5 grams of mushroom per kilogram of weight has been tested and no side effects have been shown, making the Lion's Mane Mushroom one of the best and safest ingredients in our formula.
