Medicinal Uses Of Lion’s Mane
Lion’s Mane mushrooms are a unique natural medicine that can help treat and prevent a variety of illnesses. What makes it truly stand out from other medicinal mushrooms/herbs is the way it interacts with your nervous system and enhances brain function. While this is an attractive and potent effect that Lion’s Mane has on our bodies, its health benefits don’t stop there.
While Lion’s Mane is a great supplement to incorporate into a daily health routine, it is most effective when combined with healthy lifestyle choices. This includes a healthy diet, exercise, and avoiding unhealthy habits.
How does Lion’s Mane interact with the body?
Lion’s Mane mushrooms contain many different unique compounds that positively influence your health. Below we outline the most important and researched of these compounds.
Hericenones and Erinacines
The most famous compounds found within Lion’s Mane are called hericenones and erinacines respectively. These compounds unique to Lion’s Mane mushrooms have been shown to stimulate the production of the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) (Kawagishi, 2009). This is a compound important in many bodily functions but particularly for the process of neurogenesis.
Furthermore, these compounds help with the regeneration of an important component of your nervous system called the myelin sheath (Cheng, 2016). This is a substance that wraps around the axons (space between your neurons) in your nerves and allows for more efficient neurotransmission. When the myelin sheath is degraded it becomes filled with a material known as amyloid plaque which interferes with neurotransmission. High quantities of amyloid plaque are commonly seen in severe Alzheimers and dementia patients. Hericenones and Erinacines have been shown to reduce amyloid plaque and regenerate the myelin sheath. There is also ongoing studies for the use of Lion’s mane for neuropathy and nerve damage.
Beta-glucans
Beta Glucans are polysaccharides with medicinal properties found within all mushrooms. They are one of the primary medicinal components found within medicinal mushrooms and are highly regarded for their immunomodulating properties. They are ubiquitous to fungi as they form an important component of their cellular structure. Lion’s Mane is no exception to this and known to contain high quantities of beta-glucans (Dong, 2006).
Research Highlights
Lion’s Mane for improved cognitive function
- A trial conducted with adult mice fed a diet of Lion’s Mane mushrooms showed it may be useful in the prevention of cognitive dysfunction. It successfully prevented impairments to short-term memory and visual recognition that were caused by amyloid beta-plaques. (Mori, 2011)
- Lion Mane improved learning and memory while delaying degenerative aging in mice brains. (Ratto, 2019)
- Lion’s Mane significantly improved cognitive function in 50- to 80-year-old Japanese men and women diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment after 16 weeks of consuming 250mg of Lion’s Mane 3x a day. Effects were shown to wear off after 4 weeks of stopping the regiment. (More, 2008)
- Improvement of cognitive functions of healthy adults was seen by oral intake of Hericium erinaceus after 12 weeks. (Saitsu, 2019)
- Studies conducted on mice suggest Lion’s Mane could have neuroprotective effects that could help in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers. (Zhang, 2016)

- Lion’s mane polysaccharides may exert gastroprotective effects and were shown to prevent duodenum ulcers while promoting colonic health in rats (Wang, 2018)
- Extracts from Lion’s Mane relieves inflammatory bowel diseasein adult rats. It was shown to do this by regulating immunity and gut microbiota. (Diling, 2017)
Lion’s Mane may improve immune function
- Polysaccharides from Lion’s Mane were shown to have immunomodulatory effects mediated by intestinal immunology. (Sheng, 2017)
- Lion’s Mane extracts protected infected mice from Salmonella-induced liver damage and mortality via stimulation of immune cells. (Kim, 2012)
Other uses for Lion’s Mane
- Lion’s Mane shows significant anti-fatigue properties in adult mice and has potential for athletic support. (Liu, 2014)
