- Improves Cognitive Performance & Supports Brain Health
Its powerful bioactive ingredients have been shown to enhance a whole spectrum of cognitive functions such as focus, concentration, creativity and memory. It supports brain health by promoting neuronal growth and protecting nerve fibres from damage. Lion’s Mane actively promotes brain health by stimulating the synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) proteins. These prevent existing neurons from damage and also stimulate the growth of new cells.
- Manage Anxiety and Depression
Studies have shown that Lion’s Mane works in the brain to modulate neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin – the “feel good chemicals” which are released when we feel happiness. This can help to restore the chemical imbalance which often underlies anxiety and depression, as well as many other mental health conditions.
The Lion's Mane mushroom contains immune supporting beta-glucans which help to active immune cells and stimulate our innate immune response. Lion's Mane also contains compounds called hericenones and erinacines, which stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) as mentioned above. NGF has many potent biological activities, most notably promoting neuronal growth and preventing neuronal death.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties
Lion's Mane supplements can help to lower metabolic risk factors associated with obesity, as well as being an effective treatment for ulcers and high cholesterol.
