The lion's mane mushroom Bientuits (Hericium erinaceus, Hydne Hérisson, Pom Poms Blancs, mane of lions), is a large white shaggy fungus that resembles the mane of a lion during growth.
They are used both in cooking and medicine traditional in Asian countries such as China, India, Japan and Korea
Lion mane mushrooms can be consumed raw, boiled, dried or infused in the form of tea.
Their extracts are often used in over -the -counter supplements.
Many describe their taste as "resembling seafood", often comparing it with crab or lobster.
Lion's mane benefits:
Lion mane mushrooms (Lion's Mane) contain bioactive substances that have a beneficial effect on the body, especially on the brain, the heart and the intestines.
1. could protect against dementia
Lion's mane mushrooms, according to a Pubmed study Can protect against dementia and promote brain ability to develop and form new connections that generally decreases with age, which may explain why mental operation is deteriorating in many elderly people.
Studies have shown that lion's mane mushrooms contain two special compounds that can stimulate the growth of brain cells: Hericones and Erinacins.
In addition, animal studies have shown that the lion mane can help prevent Alzheimer's disease, a degenerative brain disease that causes progressive memory loss.
In fact, it has been shown that the lion's mane fungus and its extracts reduce According to a study symptoms of memory loss in mice, as well as prevent Neuronal damage caused by amyloid-bêta plates that accumulate in the brain during Alzheimer's disease. The properties neuroprotectors D 'Hericium Erinaceus (Lion's Mane) Different Pubmed studies (reliable source).
Although there are no studies to analyze whether the mushroom of the lion mane is beneficial for Alzheimer's disease in humans, it seems to improve mental functioning.
A study conducted with the elderly with a light cognitive impairment revealed that the Consumption of 3 grams of (lion's mane) lion mane or powdered hericium per day for four months considerably improved mental operation, but these advantages have disappeared when the supplement was interrupted.
Lion's mane can promote nerve growth and protect the brain from damage linked to Alzheimer's disease, which may explain some of its beneficial effects on brain health.
However, it is important to note that most of the studies have been carried out on animals or in test tubes. Therefore, more research on humans is necessary.
SUMMARY Lion's mane mushrooms (Lion's Mane) contain ingredients that activate the growth of brain cells and protect them from damage caused by Alzheimer's disease. What is good for mental health, more studies on humans are necessary.
2. Helps relieve mild symptoms of depression and anxiety
Up to a third of people living in developed countries have symptoms ofAnxiety and depression.
Although there are many causes of anxiety and depression, chronic inflammation can be a major contributory factor.
New animal studies have shown that lion mane mushroom extract has anti-inflammatory effects that can Reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in mice (reliable source pub med).
Other animal studies have shown that lion mane extract can also help regenerate brain cells And to improve the functioning of the hippocampus, the brain area responsible for the treatment of memories and emotional reactions.
A small study on menopausal women revealed that the daily consumption of cookies containing lion mane for a month contributed to Reduce defense, irritability and anxiety.
SUMMARY : Studies show that lion's mane mushrooms can help relieve mild symptoms of anxiety and depression, but additional research is necessary on humans to better understand the link.
3. Can accelerate the recovery of injuries from the nervous system
The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord and other nerves that is located throughout the body.
These elements work together to communicate and transmit signals that harmonize almost all body functions.
Brain or spinal cord injuries often lead to paralysis or loss of mental function and can take a long time to heal.
Of the studies Reliable Pubmed sources have shown that lion's mane fungus extract can help speed up the recovery of these types of injury by stimulating growth and recovery of nerve cells.
Lion mane extract can also help reduce the severity of brain damage after a stroke.
In a study, high doses of lion's mane extract administered to rats immediately after a stroke helped reduce inflammation and reduce the quantity of stroke -related brain damage by 44 %.
Although these results are promising, no human study was carried out to determine whether the lion mane would have the same therapeutic effect on the lesions of the nervous system.
SUMMARY
Studies on rats have shown that lion's mane extract can accelerate recovery time after injury to the nervous system, but there are no studies in humans.
4. Protects against the ulcers of the digestive tract
Ulcers can form anywhere in the digestive tract, including the stomach, the small intestine and the large intestine.
Gastric ulcers are often caused by two main factors : the proliferation of a bacteria called H. pylori and lesions of the stomach mucosa, often due to long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
The extract of Hericium erinaceus (Lion mane) can prevent the development of stomach ulcers by inhibiting H. pylori growth and protecting the mucosa from the stomach from damage. According to a PubMed study.
Hericium extract (Lion's Mane) can also reduce inflammation And avoid tissue lesions in other areas of the intestine. In fact, they can help treat inflammatory diseases intestine such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. According to serious and reliable pubmed studies.
A study Led with people with ulcerative colitis revealed that taking a fungus supplement containing 14 % lion mane extract considerably reduced signs of the disease and allowed a better quality of life after three weeks.
However, when the same study Was repeated in patients with Crohn's disease, the advantages were not better than those of the placebo.
Overall, research shows that lion's mane extract can help prevent the development of ulcers, but additional research is necessary on humans.
SUMMARY
Lion mane extract has been shown to protect against gastric and intestinal ulcers in rodents, but human studies have shown controversy.
5. Reduces the risk of heart disease
The main risk factors for heart disease include obesity, high levels of triglycerides, high oxidized cholesterol levels and an increased trend to form blood clots.
Studies show that lion's mane extract can affect some of these factors and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Of the studies On rats and mice have shown that lion mane mushroom extract improves fat metabolism and lowers triglyceride levels.
In a study On rats fed with a diet rich in fat and receiving daily doses of lion's mane extract, levels of 27 % lower triglycerides and 42 % weight gain was observed after 28 days.
Because high obesity and triglycerides are considered risk factors for heart disease, this is one of the ways in which lion mane fungi contribute to heart health.
In vitro studies have also shown that lion's mane extract can help prevent oxidation of blood cholesterol.
Oxidized cholesterol molecules tend to settle in the walls of the arteries, resulting in harvesting and increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Therefore, reduction of oxidation is good for heart health.
In addition, lion mane mushrooms contain a compound called Hericenone B, which can reduce blood clotting and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Lion mane mushrooms seem to have a beneficial effect on the heart and blood vessels in many ways, but human research is necessary to confirm it.
SUMMARY
Animal and in vitro studies have shown that lion's mane extract can reduce the risk of heart disease in several ways, but human studies are necessary to confirm these results.
6. Help managing health problems due to diabetes
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the body loses its ability to control blood sugar. As a result, the levels are constantly increasing.
Chronically high blood sugar levels lead to complications such as kidney disease, damage to the nerves of the arms and legs and a loss of vision.
The lion mane fungus can be useful in the treatment of diabetes by improving control of blood sugar and reducing some of these side effects.
Several animal studies have shown that the lion mane can lead to a significant reduction in blood sugar in normal and diabetic mice, even in daily doses of 6 mg per kg of body weight.
One of the ways whose lion's mane lowers blood sugar is to block the activity of the alpha-glucosidase enzyme, which breaks the carbohydrates in the small intestine. According to a Pubmed study.
When the enzyme is blocked, the body is incapable of digesting and absorbing carbohydrates as effectively, which leads to a drop in blood sugar levels.
In addition to lowering blood sugar, lion's mane extract can reduce diabetic nervous pain in the arms and legs.
SUMMARY
Lion mane fungus can help reduce blood sugar and reduce diabetic nerve pain in mice, but additional research is necessary to determine if it can be good therapeutic option in humans.
7. He can help fight cancer
Cancer occurs when DNA is damaged and causes uncontrolled division and reproduction of cells.
Some studies show that the lion mane fungus has the ability to fight cancer, thanks to several of its unique compounds
In fact, when the lion mane extract is mixed with human cancer cells in a test tube, cancer cells die more quickly.
According to some studies, this has been demonstrated in several types of cancer cells, including the cancer cells of the liver, of the colon, stomach and blood
However, at least one study Has failed to reproduce these results, additional research is therefore necessary.
In addition to killing cancer cells, the lion mane extract has been shown to slow down cancer.
However, the anticancer effects of the lion's mane mushroom have never been tested in humans, additional research is therefore necessary.
SUMMARY
Animal studies and test tubes have shown that lion's mane extract can kill cancer cells and slow down the spread of tumors, but human studies are still necessary.
8. Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress
We think that theChronic inflammation And oxidative stress is the cause of many modern diseases, including heart disease, cancer and autoimmune disorders.
Studies show that lion's mane mushrooms contain powerful anti-inflammatory compounds and antioxidants which can help reduce the impact of these diseases.
In fact, a study examining the antioxidant capacities of 14 different species of fungi revealed that the lion mane had the fourth activity antioxidant the highest and recommended that it be considered a good Food source of antioxidants.
Several animal studies have shown that lion mane extract reduces inflammation and oxidative stress markers in rodents and can be particularly useful in the treatment of inflammatory intestine pathologies, liver damage and brain vascular accidents.
Additional research is necessary to determine the potential benefits for human health, but the results of laboratory studies and on animals are promising.
SUMMARY
The Lion's Mane fungus contains powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce the impact of chronic diseases.
9. Strengthens the immune system
A strong immune system protects the body from bacteria, viruses and other pathogens.
On the other hand, a weakened immune system exposes the body to a higher risk of developing infectious diseases.
Animal studies show that the mushroom of the lion mane can strengthen immunity by stimulating the intestine immune system, which protects the body from pathogens who penetrate the intestine through the mouth or nose.
These effects may be due in part to changes beneficial to intestinal bacteria that stimulate the immune system.
A study Even revealed that the daily consumption of lion's mane extract quadruped almost the lifespan of the mice injected with a deadly dose of salmonella bacteria.
The immunosuppressive effects of lion's mane mushrooms are very promising, but this field of research is still evolving.
SUMMARY
Lion mane mushrooms have been shown to have stimulating effects on the immune system in rodents, but many research is necessary.
Safety and side effects
No human study was carried out on the side effects of the mane fungus of the lion or its extract, but they seem to be very safe.
No side effects has not been observed in rats, even to doses up to 5 grams per kg of body weight per day for a month or at lower doses for three months.
However, any allergic or sensitive to fungi must avoid the lion mane, as it is a type of fungus.
There are documented cases of people experiencing respiratory difficulties or rashes after exposure to the lion mane mushroom, possibly linked to allergies.
SUMMARY
Animal studies show that the lion's mane fungus and its extracts are very safe, even in high doses. However, allergic reactions have been reported in humans, so anyone with a known allergy to mushrooms should avoid them.
In conclusion:
Lion mane fungus has been shown and its extract has different health benefits.
Studies have shown that the lion mane can prevent dementia, reduce mild symptoms of anxiety and depression and help repair nerve damage.
It also has strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and stimulating properties of the immune system and has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, ulcers and diabetes in animals.
Although current research is promising, more human research is necessary to develop practical health applications of the lion's mane mushroom.
