“Bearded Tooth” Fungus Regrows Brain Cells?!
There’s a rare mushroom that goes by MANY names…
But we should add the nickname “Smart Mushroom” to the list because of its ability to support cognitive health and brain function.
Previous studies have shown this fungus can help improve cognitive function, protect against memory loss, and reduce symptoms of depression.
In a recent study, researchers took a closer look at how these mushrooms manage to produce such incredible benefits.
Bearded tooth fungus, mountain priest, monkey head, pom pom…
It has many nicknames. But this potent medicinal mushroom’s official name is lion’s mane because of its resemblance to the fluff of hair surrounding male lion’s heads.
And the research team behind the new study soon discovered that these unique mushrooms may have the ability to give you a “new and improved” brain.
In a lab study they tested a compound from lion’s mane called NDPIH on neurons from the hippocampus area of the brain. When the brain cells were exposed to the NDPIH compound, they GREW.
They also had larger growth cones. This indicates that the neurons were growing more efficiently and forming more connections.
The benefits of these new and improved connections soon became obvious when mice were brought into the picture.
Critters given this same mushroom compound became masters of the mazes they were placed in, demonstrating improved special memory.
The implications here are HUGE. Lion’s mane mushrooms have the potential to prevent, treat, or even REVERSE the effects of brain damage.
You can eat lion’s mane themselves or try them in supplement form.
They’re not a cure-all, of course. But they can add another proven layer of brain protection that could help stave off those senior moments… or worse.
P.S. THIS unique Asian tree spice is particularly good for reducing cognitive impairment as you age. If you’re looking for a tasty way to boost your brain power as you get older I’ve got all the details RIGHT HERE.
