Forget your afternoon coffee slump, Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is taking the spotlight as one of nature’s most exciting cognitive enhancers.
What’s New?
Recent studies have revealed Lion’s Mane’s powerful ability to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein essential for memory, cognition, and overall brain health. A July 2025 review highlighted that Lion’s Mane may improve memory and focus almost immediately, with benefits extending to mood and immune support (NutraIngredients).
Even more impressively, researchers have suggested Lion’s Mane may help protect against neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s by promoting brain cell regeneration (Times of India).
