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
Lion's Mane contains the pharmacologically active compounds hericenones and erinacines which have been shown to stimulate human nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis[3].
Depression
There is some evidence to suggest that Lion's Mane can be used in the treatment of depression.[5]
Cognitive Impairment
There is some evidence to suggest that lions mane can improve cognitive impairment in people above the age of 50[6].
Neuroprotective and Neuroregenerative
Has been found to have some neuroprotective[7] and neuroregenrative[8] effects in rat studies.
Stamets Stack
There is some evidence to suggest that by combining psilocybin, lions mane and niacin this can increase the improvement of cognitive function.[9]
