Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract Tincture

Cognitive Support

Lion’s Mane is well-known for its neuroprotective effects and cognitive-enhancing properties. It promotes the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), which helps improve memory, focus and overall brain function. Studies suggest that it may help slow cognitive decline in conditions such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, making it a valuable supplement for brain health.

A study involving older adults with mild Alzheimer’s disease demonstrated that participants who consumed Lion’s Mane extract over four months showed significant improvements in cognitive function tests compared to the placebo group.

Another study from 2023 concentrated on young, healthy adults and concluded that those taking a single dose of Lion’s Mane for 28 days performed better at certain tasks than those taking the placebo. A stress reducing effect was also observed after 28 days of taking Lion’s Mane. 

Reduced Anxiety and Depression

Lion’s Mane has been found to have mood-boosting effects, potentially reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. It is believed to regulate neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which play a key role in our emotional well-being.

In a recent study, 30 females took Lion’s Mane cookies for 4 weeks. Those who consumed Lion’s Mane cookies reported lower levels of anxiety and irritableness compared to the placebo group. Interestingly, these results suggest a different mechanism from NFG-enhancing action of Lion’s Mane.

Anti-Inflammatory

Lion’s Mane exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, which could help reduce inflammation throughout the body. A 2015 study on obesity indicate the possibility that Lion’s Mane prevents and helps tissue inflammation associated with obesity.

Nerve Damage Repair

Lion’s Mane contains compounds like hericenones and erinacines, which may stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) production, essential for nerve cell growth and maintenance. Research indicates that these compounds can promote nerve regeneration, suggesting potential benefits in conditions involving nerve damage.
