Lion's Mane encourages the formation of nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), compounds that are essential for the maintenance of the cholinergic system. Here they stimulate new cellular growth while also offering nourishment and strength to the existing cells. NGF assists the creation of the myelin sheath, the insulation that encapsulates the neuronal cell, allowing it to send and receive information with speed and precision. BDNF helps the brain stay plastic (adaptable, youthful and able to expand in function), increasing resilience in this area against trauma and age-related decline.
Lion's Mane helps to fortify the gut-brain connection via its anti inflammatory and antioxidant actions. Reducing inflammation enhances circulation, allowing more oxygen to reach the brain. This supports healthy brain activity, focus, and mood stabilisation. We absolutely love the regenerative qualities of this herb, a true superstar nootropic.
I’ve been hearing some serious love from folks lately about this mushie, especially from students who need their brains firing on all levels. @chef_shine came to the Byron shop yesterday and said it has been a game changer for her studies and noticed a BIG difference when she ran out before an exam.
I made it a key ingredient for the Neural Nectar for this reasons and it’s one of my all time favourite mushies (I actually brought it into the range years ago so I could give high doses to my mum after a traumatic brain injury, not as treatment, just as a supportive herbal food). Would love to hear how many other people out there find this to be a game changer! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
