Lion's Mane: A natural compound proven to stimulate nerve growth factor production

Hericenones (fruiting body) and erinacines (mycelium) are the only known natural compounds that cross the blood-brain barrier and directly stimulate NGF (nerve growth factor) synthesis. This makes Lion's Mane unique in the entire natural products space, no other mushroom, herb, or food has this mechanism. The neuroregeneration implications (Alzheimer's, nerve injury recovery, neuroplasticity) are profound. Yet the market is chaotic, most products don't distinguish between fruiting body (hericenones) and mycelium (erinacines), which contain different actives.Publications of interest:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5987239/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24266378/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10650066/
