Science behind Lions Mane

Lions Mane contains unique groups of compounds called Hericenones and Erinacines that re-generate myelin on the axon of nerves. Discovered by Japanese researcher Dr.Kawagishi, these “special compounds are low-molecular weight compounds that easily cross the blood–brain barrier"(Ma, 2010). Lion’s mane is known as a smart mushroom preventing neurons from death and promoting neural growth through absorption within the gut and access through blood-brain barrier.
