Lions Mane Mushroom Organic -50 Capsules 650mg

Scientific Name:?Hericium erinaceus. Origin:?USA Medicinal mushrooms are types of fungi that contain compounds known to benefit health. While there is an abundance of mushrooms with medicinal properties, one of the most well-known is Hericium erinaceus, also known as?lions mane. Perhaps the most impressive qualities of the lions mane mushroom is it?s ability to?protect against dementia, reduce mild symptoms of anxiety and depression and help repair nerve damage. It also has strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune-boosting abilities and been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, ulcers and diabetes in animals.? Reduces Inflammation and Oxidative Stress Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are believed to be at the root of many modern illnesses, including heart disease, cancer and autoimmune diseases.? Research shows that lion?s mane mushrooms contain powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that may help reduce the impact of these illnesses. In fact, this?study examining the antioxidant abilities of 14 different mushroom species found that lion?s mane had the fourth highest antioxidant activity and recommended it be considered a good dietary source of antioxidants. Boosts the Immune System A strong immune system protects the body from bacteria, viruses and other disease-causing pathogens. On the other hand, a weak immune system puts the body at a higher risk of developing infectious diseases. This study?shows that lion?s mane mushroom can boost immunity by increasing the activity of the intestinal immune system, which protects the body from pathogens that enter the gut through the mouth or nose?. Nerve damage due to Diabetes Lion?s mane may offer pain relief for diabetic neuropathy, a type of diabetic nerve damage that can cause pain and numbness in the legs and feet. Taking lion's mane mushroom may be able to improve symptoms of diabetes, such as nerve pain. In addition to lowering blood sugars, lion's mane extract may reduce diabetic nerve pain in the hands and feet. However, people with diabetes who are taking medication to control their blood sugar levels should approach lion's mane with caution. Lion?s mane may interact with diabetes treatment, causing blood sugar levels to drop too low. So?monitor your blood sugar.? Slows Dementia The brain?s ability to grow and form new connections typically declines with age, which may explain why mental functioning gets worse in many older adults. Studies have found that lion?s mane mushrooms contain two special compounds that can stimulate the growth of brain cells: hericenones and erinacines. Additionally, animal studies have found that lion?s mane may help protect against Alzheimer?s disease, a degenerative brain disease that causes progressive memory loss. In fact, lion?s mane mushroom and its extracts have been shown to reduce symptoms of memory loss in mice, as well as prevent neuronal damage caused by amyloid-beta plaques, which accumulate in the brain during Alzheimer?s disease. While no studies have analyzed whether lion?s mane mushroom is beneficial for Alzheimer?s disease in humans, it appears to boost mental functioning. A study in older adults with mild cognitive impairment found that consuming 3 grams of powdered lion?s mane mushroom daily for four months significantly improved mental functioning, but these benefits disappeared when supplementation stopped. Memory Enhancer Active compounds in Lion's Mane mushroom can help promote neurogenesis and enhance memory, a new study reports. Preclinical trials report the compound had a significant impact on neural growth and improved memory formation. Helps Relieve Mild Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety While there are many causes of anxiety and depression, chronic inflammation could be a major contributing factor. New animal research has found that lion?s mane mushroom extract has anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in mice. Other studies, here and here?have found that lion?s mane extract can also help regenerate brain cells and improve the functioning of the hippocampus, a region of the brain responsible for processing memories and emotional responses. Researchers believe that improved functioning of the hippocampus may explain the reductions in anxious and depressive behaviors. Speed Recovery from Nervous System Injuries The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord and other nerves that travel throughout the body. These components work together to send and transmit signals that control almost every bodily function. Injuries to the brain or spinal cord can be devastating. They often cause paralysis or loss of mental functions and can take a long time to heal. However, research has found that lion?s mane mushroom extract may help speed recovery from these types of injuries by stimulating the growth and repair of nerve cells. In fact, in this study, lion?s mane mushroom extract has been shown to reduce recovery time by 23?41% when given to rats with nervous system injuries. Lion?s mane extract may also help reduce the severity of brain damage after a stroke. Protects Against Ulcers?and Gut Health Ulcers are capable of forming anywhere along the digestive tract, including the stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Stomach ulcers are often caused by two major factors: overgrowth of a bacteria called H. pylori and damage to the mucous layer of the stomach that?s often due to long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Lion?s mane extract may protect against the development of stomach ulcers by inhibiting the growth of H. pylori and protecting the stomach lining from damage. Lion?s mane extract can also reduce inflammation and prevent tissue damage in other areas of the intestines. In fact, they may help treat inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis. This?study in people with ulcerative colitis found that taking a mushroom supplement containing 14% lion?s mane extract significantly reduced symptoms and improved quality of life after three weeks. May Help Fight Cancer Cancer occurs when DNA becomes damaged and causes cells to divide and replicate out of control. Research suggests that lion?s mane mushroom has cancer-fighting abilities, thanks to several of its unique compounds. In fact, when lion?s mane extract is mixed with human cancer cells in a test tube, they cause the cancer cells to die at a faster rate. This has been demonstrated with several types of cancer cells, including liver, colon, stomach and blood cancer cells?however,?more human studies are needed . In addition to killing cancer cells, lion?s mane extract has also been shown to slow the spread of cancer in mice. This study?found that taking lion?s mane extract reduced the spread of cancer to the lungs by 69%. Quite exciting information while more?human research is needed. ? Warning. Lion's mane contains dihydrotestosterone (DHT) blocker which lowers testosterone levels in both males and females. Lowered testosterone can decrease sex drive and libido in both genders.
