The Science Behind Lion's Mane

Lion's Mane mushroom contains unique compounds called hericenones and erinacines, which research suggests may stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF is essential for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons in the brain. While more research is needed, preliminary studies show promising results for cognitive support, focus, and overall brain health.*
