Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract Capsules Bio 120

What is Lion's Mane?

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus, also called wig fungus) is naturally a parasitic fungus that grows on tree trunks of the beech and oak trees. After the tree has died, the mushroom continues to live on the rotting wood.

The Lion's Mane is quite a special mushroom. This fungus does not look like a 'standard' mushroom, but has long, creamy white stems that hang gracefully downwards. These stems resemble a lion's mane. Hence the name Lion's Mane.

The Lion's Mane is one of the most powerful and popular mushrooms. The fruit body is edible and has a mild taste reminiscent of lobster. Yet it is not so much the taste that makes this mushroom so popular. This fungus is very popular in China, Japan and various Asian countries because of its beneficial properties. The mushroom is mainly used because of its ability to stimulate our brains. In other words: this mushroom gives your brain a cognitive boost.

How does Lion's Mane mushroom work?

The Lion's Mane is rich in minerals (including zinc and potassium) and is packed with antioxidants. In addition, this mushroom also contains polysaccharides, especially beta-glucan polysaccharides. This type of polysaccharide is known for its immune-boosting properties. It also has a beneficial effect on the brain and nervous system.

Research shows that Lions Mane improves cognitive function in mice, especially memory and visual recognition. This is because this mushroom increases the production of nerve growth factor or 'Nerve Grow Factor' (NGF).

Nerve Grow Factor

NGF, or 'Nerve Grow Factor', is a protein that plays an important role in signal transmission in the brain, especially in neurons (nerve cells). Nerve cells are involved in receiving, processing and transmitting information. These nerve cells need the protein NGF to complete their task. NGF has the ability to shift functions from damaged parts of the brain to undamaged parts.

'Nerve Growth Factor' (NGF) ensures that neurons in the brain deteriorate less quickly, can produce better and are protected. As you get older, your body is less able to maintain vital brain functions. NGF helps to slow down the aging process.

What is this mushroom used for?

Lion's Mane is used to keep your brain functions vital. Even if you are young and suffer from poor concentration, you can benefit greatly from Lions Mane. Due to stress, depression, anxiety, etc., it is very possible that your brain is tired. Lions Mane boosts the brain and makes it possible to better use cognitive functions. This mushroom is mainly used as a nootropic: it supports learning and concentration.
