Hey people, the mushrooms will fix most everything, we need more forest to help them grow more! Lions mane mushrooms are increasingly studied for their neuroprotective effects. Two novel classes of Nerve Growth Factors (NGFs) -- molecules stimulating the differentiation and re-myelination of neurons -- have been discovered in this mushroom so far. These cyathane derivatives are termed hericenones and erinacines. The levels of these compounds can vary substantially between strains, based on the measurements our team has conducted. About a dozen studies have been published on the neuroregenerative properties of lions mane mushrooms since 1991, when Dr. Kawagishi first identified NGFs in Japanese samples. Since his original discovery, in vitro and in vivo tests have confirmed that hericenones and erinacines stimulate nerve regeneration. In 2009, researchers at the Hokuto Corporation and the Isogo Central and Neurosurgical Hospital published a small clinical study. Giving lions mane to 30 Japanese patients with mild cognitive impairment resulted in significant benefits for as long as they consumed the mushrooms: huffingtonpost/paul-stamets/mushroom-memory_b_1725583.html
