What Is Lion’s Mane?
Lion’s mane mushroom is a unique species of fungi found growing on evergreen trees in cooler climates around the world.
The characteristic furry appearance of the fruiting body resembles the mane of a lion (hence the name).
This fungi is used as a health supplement for supporting cognitive function and immune health and is considered by many to be one of the best gourmet edible mushrooms – having a flavor similar to lobster.
How Does Lion’s Mane Work?
Lion’s mane has the unique ability to support the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) – the brain’s primary chemical messenger for stimulating the regeneration of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
As we age, or following exposure to certain chemicals or head injuries, nerve cells may become damaged – negatively affecting processes like concentration, focus, memory, and mental energy levels.
Lion’s mane supports the recovery of nerve cells in the brain and may enhance cognitive function in healthy individuals. It’s become a popular nootropic for supporting brain function in students, freelance creatives, and entrepreneurs alike.
Additionally, lion’s mane is a potent anti inflammatory – reducing the negative side-effects associated with inflammation and reduced integrity of the blood-brain barrier.
