Where do we start...
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine as a tonic, often linked with digestive/gut support and overall vitality, long before it became a modern “focus” staple.
Today, it’s studied for its unique bioactive compounds (like hericenones + erinacines) that support nerve growth factor (NGF) pathways tied to brain and nerve function.
In one double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 30 adults with mild cognitive impairment, the Lion’s Mane group saw significant improvements in cognitive scores at weeks 8, 12, and 16, which dropped again after stopping, a reminder that consistency matters.
It's time to level up.
