Lion’s Mane, also known as Hericium erinaceus or bearded tooth fungus, is an edible mushroom with a unique appearance resembling a lion’s mane. It contains natural compounds associated with neuroplasticity and the production of BDNF and NGF, proteins that play a role in supporting neurons.
What is Lion’s Mane or bearded tooth fungus?
Lion’s Mane, also known as Hericium erinaceus or bearded tooth fungus, is an edible mushroom with a striking appearance resembling a lion’s mane or a white wig. This mushroom primarily grows on hardwood in Europe, North America, and Asia.
What is lion's mane used for?
Lion’s Mane, also known as Hericium erinaceus or bearded tooth fungus, is an edible mushroom that has been used for centuries in various cuisines due to its distinctive taste and texture.
This mushroom contains natural compounds that have been the subject of scientific research. Studies have shown that Lion’s Mane has the unique ability to stimulate the production of neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These proteins support the growth of new neurons and synapses in our brain. A deficiency in these proteins has been associated with feelings of depression and anxiety.
What is neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to adapt and form new connections in response to experiences, learning processes, and environmental factors. This process allows the brain to continuously reorganize itself.
Numerous studies highlight the role of Lion’s Mane in the production of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) and NGF (Nerve Growth Factor).
Can Lion’s Mane also be taken as a supplement?
Yes, absolutely. Lion’s Mane is included in Insentials NRM3+.
