Yamabushitake Might Boost Nerve Growth Factor and Enhance Cognitive Function
Hericium erinaceus has neurotrophic properties, which can be valuable for protecting nerves and preventing neurodegenerative disorders.
Over the last three decades, I reviewed extensive research into several medicinal mushrooms like the Agaricus bisporus, Ganoderma lucidum, Grifolia frondosa, and Lentinula edodes. They are all exciting and promising mushrooms for various health conditions.
However, in this post, I specifically focus on Hericium erinaceus (Yamabushitake), also known as Lion’s Mane, due to its impact on cognitive function and neurological health to give some perspectives to my readers. Hericium erinaceus has become one of the most promising candidates for biomedical research for medicinal mushrooms.
I wrote many articles about valuable nutrients and molecules. You can find the stories from this list. The last one was about the cognitive benefits of Bacopa Monnieri (Brahmi), which is another plant-based molecule, so I am hoping my vegan and vegetarian readers will find them valuable.
