FOR THE BRAIN

Lion’s Mane or Hericium Erinaceus is a fungi, used for centuries in traditional eastern medicine, and has recently gained renewed attention. Like other functional mushrooms, Lion’s mane is high in antioxidants and believed to have a range of potential benefits.

Emerging research is investigating Lion’s Mane potential to support cognitive functions, such as memory, for older adults. A study on 50 to 80 year old men and women diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, showed better results on a cognitive function scale, for a group consuming approx 3000mg of Lion’s Mane daily vs the control, at weeks 8, 12 and 16 (Mori et al, 2008).

Other research is also reviewing the potential for Lion’s Mane to support with symptoms of depression and anxiety, where some pre-clinical and clinical studies hint at promising potential, but this research is at an early stage and specific mechanisms underlying the antidepressant-like activities require further investigation (Chong et al, 2019).
