A mushroom extract studied for compounds that may influence nerve growth factor pathways.
Lion's Mane is a mushroom extract that has drawn scientific interest for compounds that may stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) production, a protein involved in the growth and maintenance of neurons.
Research on Lion's Mane and cognitive function in humans is still an active, developing area rather than a settled body of evidence.
It's the ingredient most tied to this formula's neuroplasticity and BDNF-related claims, based on independent coverage of the product.
