The composition of Lion's Mane contains substances that activate the synthesis of the NGF protein: gericenones, beta-D-glucans, cyanide derivatives, provitamin D, and erynacins. Moreover, substances such as arabitinol, D-threitol, and palmitic acid have an antioxidant effect.
Interesting fact: in the late 1990s, laboratories in Germany isolated the substance erynacin E, a compound that stimulates the growth of nerve cells, from Lion's Mane. Thus, the mushroom has great potential: scientists believe that in the future, it may help in treating many diseases of the central nervous system, which were previously considered incurable.
