Sirona Nutrition Lion’s Mane Mushroom

Description

Lion’s mane may help protect against dementia and Alzheimer’s because the brain’s ability to grow and form new connections typically declines with age. Lion’s mane mushrooms contain two special compounds that may stimulate the growth of brain cells: hericenones and erinacines. Lion’s mane mushroom extract has anti-inflammatory effects that may reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It may also help regenerate brain cells and improve the functioning of the hippocampus, a region of the brain that processes memories and emotional responses. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and other nerves that travel throughout the body. These components work together to send and transmit signals that control almost every bodily function. Lion’s mane mushroom extract may help speed recovery from these types of injuries by stimulating the growth and repair of nerve cells. It may also help reduce the severity of brain damage after a stroke. Lion’s mane extract may protect against the development of stomach ulcers by inhibiting the growth of H. pylori and protecting the stomach lining from damage. Because of Lion’s mane’s anti-inflammatory benefits it may help prevent tissue damage and help treat inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Lion’s mane mushroom extract may improve fat metabolism and lower triglyceride levels. It may help oxidation of cholesterols in the bloodstream. Oxidized cholesterol molecules tend to attach to artery walls, causing them to harden and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Lion’s mane mushrooms contain a compound called hericenone B, which may decrease the rate of blood clotting and may lower the risk of heart attack or stroke. Lion’s mane may help lower blood sugar levels. One way that lion’s mane lowers blood sugars is by blocking the activity of the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which breaks down carbs in the small intestine. When this enzyme is blocked, the body is unable to digest and absorb carbs as effectively, which results in lower blood sugar levels. It may also aid in diabetic nerve pain. Lion’s mane helps strengthen the immune system by protecting the body from bacteria, viruses, and other disease-causing pathogens. Lion’s mane mushroom can boost immunity by increasing the activity of the intestinal immune system, which protects the body from pathogens that enter the gut through the mouth or nose.
