The lion's mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) repairs and regenerates neurons in your body, improving cognitive processes.
It is used to prevent and combat the effects of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and dementia, among others.

HOW IT WORKS
Lion's mane mushroom helps your brain produce NGF (nerve growth factor proteins), which stimulate the growth of new neurons and protect existing ones.
NGF keeps your nervous system healthy.
Lion's mane mushroom contains hericenone, a molecular compound that stimulates NGF creation in your brain.

RESEARCH
Scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini and her colleague Stanley Cohen won the Nobel Prize in psychology and medicine in 1986 for the discovery of NGF proteins.
Rita is the first person awarded the Nobel Prize to have lived over 100 years. Rita died at the age of 103 and credited her longevity and sharpness to the use of NGF proteins.
