This isn’t your average fungi. Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a shaggy, white mushroom known for its uncanny ability to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) — a compound crucial for neurogenesis and brain repair.
Used in traditional Chinese medicine and now a darling of modern neurohackers, Lion’s Mane may support:
- Memory formation and retention
- Neuroplasticity and long-term brain resilience
- Potential nerve regeneration in cognitive decline contexts
It won’t give you instant superpowers, but take it daily and you might just grow a better brain — one synapse at a time.
