Nature’s Nootropic Nootropic is a Greek word whose literal meaning is “turning of the mind,” and a nootropic is considered to be a substance that enhances the overall functioning of the brain, including improving cognition, intelligence, memory, attention and concentration. Various constituents derived from lion’s mane mushrooms, particularly including hericenones, erinacines and amycenones, are considered to be very effective nootropics. Doctor Hirokazu Kawagishi of Shizoka University in Japan, who has done extensive research on the lion’s mane mushroom, has discovered that these compounds, which have the ability to cross the blood brain barrier, stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) and are therefore beneficial for use in the treatment of various neurological disorders including dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. Besides benefiting those suffering from the above ailments due to the triggering the synthesis of NGF, studies have also found that constituents found in lion’s mane promote the rebuilding of the myelin sheath, which is the insulating tissue surrounding nerves. - See more at: lindazurich/lions-mane-mushrooms-hericium-erinaceus/#sthash.UsrMpJrN.dpuf
