Lion's Mane Benefits

Lion’s Mane mushrooms are well known for their ability to enhance cognitive function. Lion's Mane produces a nerve growth factor (NGF) and helps with myelin production. Myelin is an insulating layer that forms around nerve fibres.

Both NGF and myelin are critical for brain health. An imbalance in them can contribute to Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis*
