Lion's mane is known to support healthy brain function. It is rich in a multitude of important compounds: beta-glucans, which are responsible for antitumor growth, immunomodulatory antioxidants, and neuroprotective chemicals. Oxidative stress, against which these compounds protect, is closely linked to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) in nerve cells can be induced by certain compounds (hericenes and erinacines) present in Hericium erinaceus, thus making lion's mane an amazing aid in nerve development and function due to its neurotrophic factors. Lion's mane is a species of mushroom that is beautiful in appearance, it has long, shaggy cascading spines resembling a waterfall. Lion's mane grows on the trunks of hardwood trees in northern forests and has been used in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) for millennia and has become a well-established candidate in promoting positive cognitive function.
