Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is rich in β-glucan polysaccharides, which have been found to exhibit anti-cancer[1], immuno-modulating, hypolipidemic, antioxidant, and neuro-protective properties[2].
Neuroactivity
Depression
Figure 1. Lion's Mane mechanism of action in depression[3]
Lion's Mane contains the pharmacologically active compounds hericenones and erinacines which have been shown to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis. There is some evidence to suggest that Lion's Mane can be used in the treatment of depression.[4]
Cognitive Impairment
There is some evidence to suggest that lions mane can improve cognitive impairment in people above the age of 50[5].
