About

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a medicinal mushroom containing bioactive hericenones and erinacines that stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis. Research suggests it may support neurogenesis, myelination, and hippocampal function. A landmark RCT in older adults with mild cognitive impairment showed significant cognitive improvement after 16 weeks.

How It Works

Contains bioactive hericenones and erinacines that stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis; promotes neurogenesis and myelination; supports hippocampal function and neuroplasticity.
