Description
“The science doesn’t have to believe in you; you have to believe in the science”.
Hericium erinaceus is not just a culinary delicacy; it is a biological powerhouse. Modern research focuses on two specific groups of compounds found in this species: hericenones (found in the fruiting body) and erinacines (found primarily in the mycelium).
Hericenones and erinacines are unique in their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and stimulate the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). NGF is a protein that is vital for growth, maintenance and survival of neurons. By supporting NGF, Lion’s Mane facilitates the “rewriting” of cognitive pathways, supporting memory, clarity, and overall neurological health.
