7 AWESOME Things About Lion’s Mane
I used Lost Empire Herb’s 8:1 Dual Extract Lion’s Mane for about a month. It adds a pleasant earthy taste to my morning cup of steaming coffee. * It has a subtle Nootropic effect, although as far as Adaptogens go, I find Chaga or Rhodiola more stimulating. After taking it, I found myself in a productive, focused headspace. * I’m thankful to have Lion’s Mane in my war chest of immuno-fortifying natural herbs; taking it, I managed to avoid getting the sniffles during the cold, dry Eastern European winter here in Bulgaria. * I can’t speak much to its Neurogenesis effects; I suspect I’d have to take it for longer for these effects to become apparent. Summary of Lion’s Mane Science Nine scientific papers have been published about it in the past year, which I’ll summarize... The most recent published paper out of the University of Hong Kong focuses on its therapeutic potential in treating depression. Although antidepressant effects of [Lion’s Mane] have not been validated and compared to the conventional antidepressants, based on the neurotrophic and neurogenic pathophysiology of depression, [Lion’s Mane] may be a potential alternative medicine for the treatment of depression. A Malaysian study suggests that it’s a neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory agent in neuron-glia environment. A Chinese study did a genetic analysis of its bioactive metabolites that have anticancer, immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antidiabetic and neuroprotective properties. A 13-week Taiwanese animal study gave it to rats and concluded that it was highly safe and that there was an absence of toxicological effects in all the rats during the investigation period.

Natural products are sources for exploratory development of new agents to combat the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Some edible fungi, such as the lion’s mane mushroom, have been used for several thousand years to treat digestive diseases. A 2-month Italian animal study found that [Lion’s Mane] increased general locomotor activity but had no effect on spatial memory. It also notes that... We previously determined that oral supplementation with [Lion’s Mane] results in significant improvements in novelty-seeking behavior and novel object recognition in mice. So Lion’s Mane might make you a better salsa dancer, but if you want to improve your spatial memory, I would recommend Dual N-Back brain training. A German study speaks to its effects on BDNF and NGF We found that erinacines act on [Brain-derived neurotrophic factor], which is a neurotrophic factor that has been reported recently by us to be induced by the corallocins, but as well on [nerve growth factor] expression...
