Lions Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
This mushroom is one of the most exciting of the new mushrooms. It contains beta glucan polysaccharides, along with polypeptides and fatty acids that help modulate the immune system, boosting white blood cell count to help the healing process. However, the most stimulating area of interest is its ability to help combat some of the symptoms and underlying causes of dementia and Alzheimer's disease as well as other peripheral neurological dysfunctions.
From an anti-ageing perspective, Lions Mane, due to its low molecular weight, has been shown to pass through the bood/brain barrier and to;
-Induce synthesis of NGF (Nerve Growth Factor)
-Prevent nerve cell death
-Promote myelination (re-growth of myelin sheath around nerve fibre)
-Stimulate neurite outgrowth (neurite - immature neuron in the growth process)
-Exert neurotropic action and improve the myelination process in the mature myelinating fibres;and not arouse a toxic effect or nerve cell damage.
What does all this mean? Brain health; vibrancy of short-term memory and of related nerve functions!
