Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus), also known as the “Brain Mushroom”, is a functional mushroom known for its bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides like beta-glucans, which support overall well-being. It is an excellent source of antioxidants that help strengthen the immune system, and Lion’s Mane has been tested to stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) and myelin, which are essential for maintaining good brain health.

Among their many benefits, Lion’s Mane mushrooms are recognized for their ability to:

• Support cognitive health and mental clarity
• Help reduce stress and promote relaxation
• Assist in supporting nervous system recovery
• Support digestive system health
• Contribute to cardiovascular health
• Support healthy glucose metabolism
• Helping maintain age-related brain function

Historically, Lion’s Mane was used for centuries in traditional medicine as a general tonic and health treatment. It is native to North America, China, Japan and Europe. While it was traditionally prescribed as a general restorative food, ancient health practitioners used it to aid in healing what we now know as neurodegenerative diseases. Monks would use Lion’s Mane powder in their tea, claiming it helped them focus on their meditation and increase overall brain power. Modern science has investigated the validity of these claims and found promising results, though research into health benefits continues.

Recent studies have highlighted the remarkable abilities of the Lion’s Mane mushroom, largely due to its connection to the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a protein that plays a vital role in the survival and function of nerve cells. Lion’s Mane mushroom has been shown in clinical trials to increase the amount of NGF in the brain, which in turn can boost cognitive function by reducing inflammation, promoting neural growth, and improving overall brain health. Interestingly, the same compounds found in Lion’s Mane have been found to counteract oxidative stress on the brain.

Lion’s Mane also works by advancing the sleep-wake cycle and decreasing wakefulness during the active phase of sleep (REM). Therefore, Lion’s Mane before bed could be helpful for delayed sleep phase syndrome. In addition, Lion’s Mane has further immune-modulating properties that help us deal with external stressors. This, in turn, helps us achieve more restful sleep.

While ongoing research continues to explore the potential of this fascinating mushroom, Lion’s Mane offers an exciting opportunity to support overall well-being naturally, highlighting the remarkable possibilities that nature provides in promoting health.
