Helps accelerate the growth of brain cells. A chemical called NGF nerve growth factor. Studies have shown that NGF enables prolonged acetylcholine release, and chemicals such as hericenones and erinacines help induce NGF production in nerve cells.

Lion’s mane is also a very good source of neurotrophic compounds, a family of biomolecules (most of which are protein-based) that promote the growth, survival, and several physiological functions of both new and mature neurons. These neurotrophic compounds have a positive impact on human nerve cells that may help overcome many neurodegenerative conditions such as:

Parkinson’s disease
Huntington’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease
Motor neuron disease
Prion disease
Spinal muscular atrophy
