Lion's Mane, Reishi and Cordyceps Aided Nerve Repair in Studies

Lion's mane, Reishi, Cordyceps

What they found

Across studies in a systematic review, mushroom compounds raised nerve growth factor ~30–200% and sped nerve regrowth 25–60% in injury models.

Nerve Repair Boost

Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus), reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), and cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris) compounds increased nerve growth factor (NGF) by ~30–200% and accelerated axon regeneration by 25–60% in peripheral nerve injury models across the studies in this systematic review. Functional recovery (grip strength, conduction velocity, and sensory response) improved by ~20–50% compared to untreated injury.
