The verified health benefits of Lion’s Mane mushrooms is one of the reasons the west needs to step up their research in medicinal mushrooms. Of the millions of varieties of wild mushrooms only a handful have been adequately studied, and most of the promising research is coming from Asia, which already has a long history of medicinal mushroom use. Lion’s mane is a neurological tonic. Helping everything from dementia to anxiety and depression, it is also edible, and so low risk that everyone should be taking it. It also is the only thing besides cardiovascular exercise that has been proven to regrow damaged neurons. I personally buy Swanson brand supplements, because they’re cheaper and just as effective, but if you live in the Northeast, you could be harvesting your own. In the west there is a similar conifer coral hedgehog that has the same benefits, and is delicious. In this era of nootropics and smart drugs do yourself a favor and pick up a 10 dollar bottle of mushroom capsules and heal your brain.
