Lion’s Mane: (Hericium erinaceus) 

Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is a medicinal mushroom which has been used in Asia for centuries because of its incredible neuroprotective powers. In Japan it was discovered that the mushroom stimulates the synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). This is the primary protein nutrient responsible for enhancing and repairing neurological disorders. 

Also Lion’s mane has also been shown to reduce beta-​-amyloid plaques. These plaques are thought to play a role in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's.

In a 16 week Human Study the lion’s mane group scored significantly higher on the cognitive function scale compared with placebo group with no adverse effects. Prompting scientists to believe it may be possible benefits against dementia.
