Higher neurogenesis rates could essentially indicate to be equivalent to higher happiness rates.

Hericium erinaceus or Lion’s mane mushroom is a food with many medicinal benefits and it has been used since ancient times. It has now proved to be a powerful natural remedy for anxiety and depression.

Thirty female patients were participating in a human clinical study that was placebo-controlled. It was made in order to examine the benefits of lion’s mane on sleep quality, menopause, anxiety, and depression.

Of those who completed the research, the placebo was given to 14. However, 12 of them took an extract from the mane mushroom that was put into baked cookies. Every day, they took 2 grams of lion’s mane mushroom. Therefore, after 4 weeks of consuming it, a decrease in anxiety and depression was shown by the mane mushroom participants.

This analysis gives rise to the increasing assumption between scientists; that anxiety and depression have very little to do with the “serotonin theory”. In fact, it maybe has more to do with the “neurogenic theory of depression and anxiety”.

Higher neurogenesis rates could essentially indicate to be equivalent to higher happiness rates.

In addition, people also use lion’s mane mushroom as a food and supplement; it promotes brain function, focus, recall, memory, and clarity. The way it does this is by giving help to the brain to generate NGF. That is a compound known as Nerve Growth Factor. It is a protein that helps to restore neurons that are damaged and also produce new neurons.
