Hericium erinaceus is a particular mushroom popular in China and Japan with a very distinctive appearance. Because of its original appearance - a thick blanket of white hair-like filaments - it has earned several nicknames, including Lion's Mane, Monkey's Head, Monkey's Mushroom, Old Man's beard and Yamabushitake (those who sleep on mountains, referring to the appearance of monks).
A mushroom that is very rare to find and well absorbed in terms of bioavailability, it has been used for thousands of years in many traditional medicines, from Traditional Chinese Medicine to Japanese Medicine, but was apparently also exploited for its properties by Native Americans.
These properties have allowed Hericium to establish itself, be used and studied by modern medicine as well: today, for example, it is used as a powerful nootropic, to support cognitive functions, memory, and as a concentration aid.
What is Hericium
Yamamoto Research Cordyceps is a dietary supplement for supporting immune function, normal neural system function and protecting cells from oxidative stress.
Like all medicinal mushrooms whose use is derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hericium has been studied to verify the numerous properties it boasts. Its immunomodulatory action, antioxidant, hypolipidemic and support of the gastrointestinal and nervous systems has been confirmed.
The high amounts of beta-glucosilane and other polysaccharides and polypeptides present in this mushroom have a significant impact on strengthening the immune system, due in part to the antioxidant properties of these substances.
The neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory actions can be attributed to the presence of erinacrine H, a substance that stimulates the synthesis of NGF (Neuronal Growth Factor) and myelin by nerve cells. This mushroom is also prized for its ability to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia and concentration deficits, and for these reasons it is considered an adaptogenic substance for all intents and purposes. Its use can therefore help not only people with reduced cognitive abilities, but also students and professionals during periods of high stress.
Precisely because the gut turns out to be our second brain, Hericum can be used in the prevention of various gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease, reflux, digestive difficulties, gastritis and chronic and acute inflammation of the gastrointestinal muscularis.
