As we age, the rate of neurogenesis naturally declines, which can contribute to decreased cognitive abilities and a higher risk of neurodegenerative diseases. This reduction in brain cell regeneration is a significant factor in the aging process, highlighting the importance of finding ways to support and maintain neurogenesis in older adults.
The unique compounds in Lion’s Mane Mushroom, particularly hericenones and erinacines, play a critical role in its effects on the brain. They have been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier, a significant feat for any compound, allowing them to directly interact with brain cells.
Once in the brain, they stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein crucial for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons. NGF production is essential for neurogenesis and the repair of damaged neural cells. This ability to directly influence brain health at a cellular level is what sets Lion’s Mane apart.
