Part 4 of 4 Lions Mane Mushroom Enhances and Protects the Aging Brain

In this last installment of our series on mushrooms, Mark will discuss thebenefits of Lions Mane mushroom for brain health. This may be themost exciting of all of his interviews because of the important benefitsthat are being revealed through the science. There are very few productsthat have shown brain support for serious conditions like Alzheimers anddementia. WOW. There is emerging evidence that it may provide benefitfor schizophrenia. This is a powerful interview.

Lions Mane Mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) .Named for itscascading tendrils, Lions Mane mushrooms have long been used inChina and Japan to promote immune and digestive health.Recent research demonstrates that a substance in Lions Mane inhibitsthe formation of toxic peptide in brain cells.* Another substancestimulates the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain.

Bioactive constituents:

Hericenone A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H, Xylan, Heteroxylan,Heteroglucan, Proteoglycan

Bioactivities: Anti-alzheimers disease: Activates synthesis of nerve growthfactor (NGF) / Prevents and ameliorates senile dementia Anti-tumor: Enhances immune functions / Cytotoxicity Digestive tonic: Treats stomach and duodenal ulcers and chronicatrophic gastritis / Improves indigestion

Lions Mane Extract has been studied and awarded a patent inJapan. Here is an excerpt from BioResearch Update

April 3, 2013

Amycenone, a proprietary extract developed from a mushroom called Lions Mane (Hericiumerinaceus), has been awarded a patent in Japan. Its patent in the U.S. is pending.

Amyloban3399, a dietary supplement containing Amycenone as an active ingredient, has been widelyused and a number of clinical cases have also been reported for its role in certain conditions such asbenign or mild dementia, snoring, sleep apnea, low quality of sleeping, juvenile apathy syndrome andschizophrenia. Presentations on its clinical and laboratory studies have been made recently and anumbe r of articles on the original studies have been published on medical journals. The efficacy of the

extract as introduced in such presentations and papers is persuasive as the active ingredients containedin the extract are explicitly identified and quantified, and the manufacturer has established the method ofstandardization to guarantee the actual content of these ingredients in their extract product.

Amycenone has a patented ingredient that is confirmed to have an activity to increase the production ofNerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain as well as another ingredient to maintain healthy brain functionby preventing nerve cell death by toxic amyloid -peptide that is believed to be the cause ofAlzheimers-type dementia. Furthermore, researchers are focusing on its potential activity of influencingthe level of consciousness in the brain. Some promising results on the study may be coming soon.

So far, no significant adverse effects have been reported on the clinical uses of Amycenone.

When looking for a product that provides clinically studied benefits, look for trademarked and brandedraw materials. Use those products in the dosages that were used in the studies and use it consistentlyfor a long enough time to give the results. The best products are the ones that work best for you. Youmust try them in order to know how they will work for you. When looking for the best mushroomproducts, look to the companies that invest in the research and prove that their products are safe andeffective.
