Brain Health

Extracts from enoki mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes) powerfully protected and supported hippocampal neurons in lab tests. The extract increased neurite length to 168% of control, doubled dendritic branching, and improved neuron survival by 40% under oxidative stress. These effects were tied to activation of neurotrophic NTRK pathways, highlighting enoki’s potential to support brain health and resilience against degeneration.
