Focus & Memory

Affectionately dubbed the “smart mushroom,” Lion's Mane contains powerful compounds such as hericenones and erinacines that may enhance nerve and brain health. These compounds may encourage the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain, a crucial protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair of neurons. This is particularly significant for the hippocampus, the brain region associated with thinking, learning, and emotions.
