Lion’s Mane and neuroprotection: what does science say about hericenone and erinacine?

You may have already heard of Lion's Mane, this fascinating mushroom with exceptional properties for our brain? Science continues to uncover its secrets, particularly two remarkable compounds: hericenone and erinacine. Let's discover together what researchers have highlighted about these promising molecules.

The bioactive compounds of Lion's Mane: a discovery that changes everything 🔬

Did you know that the Lion’s Mane, this mushroom that the Japanese affectionately call Yamabushitake and the Chinese Hou Tou Gu, is a true little natural chemical factory? Indeed, scientists have discovered more than 70 active molecules! But what particularly excites researchers are two families of compounds: hericenones and erinacines.

Imagine for a moment: it took more than 35 years of research for the Japanese scientist Hirokazu Kawagish to uncover the secrets of erinacines. And what a discovery! These molecules are the very first known natural substances capable of stimulating the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) in our brain.

  • A unique structure, like a molecular fingerprint.
  • Specific protective effects on our brain
  • A variable capacity to be absorbed by our body

The mechanism of action: a multi-faceted protection 🛡️

Are you wondering how these molecules actually act on our brain? It's fascinating! Erinacines and hericenones work together in several ways to protect and stimulate our neurons.

A powerful antioxidant action ⚡

Erinacines and hericenones act as true protective shields for your brain cells. They neutralize free radicals, those unstable molecules that can damage our neurons over time. This protection is particularly important, as our brain is very sensitive to oxidative stress.

A targeted anti-inflammatory effect 🎯

Erinacines are remarkable natural regulators that modulate the inflammatory pathways of our brain. By reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, they help keep our neurons healthy.

A stimulation of neuronal growth 🌱

The most remarkable feature of these compounds is their ability to stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF). This stimulation is essential for maintaining good cognitive health and protecting our memory. Scientific studies show that this triple action makes Lion's Mane a valuable ally in preventing cognitive aging.

What does science say? 🔬
