🧠 Lion’s Mane Mushroom Boosts Brain Function in 60 Minutes

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) isn’t just gourmet—it’s brain food. A recent placebo-controlled study in healthy adults found that even a single dose improved reaction speed within 60 minutes. Over four weeks, participants also reported lower stress levels.

Scientists believe compounds in Lion’s Mane (hericenones & erinacines) stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), supporting brain plasticity and resilience. While the research is still emerging, the results are promising for focus, mood, and long-term cognitive health.
