Stroke Recovery Gains

A mushroom blend combining tiger milk mushroom (Lignosus rhinocerus), lion’s mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), and reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) reduced stroke-damaged brain tissue by 32–58% and improved learning performance by 25–46% in rats over 28 days. Higher doses restored balance and movement, with motor scores approaching non-stroke animals and preserved hippocampal neurons. Taken together, the data suggest stacked mushroom compounds influence recovery through breadth, not intensity, reinforcing movement, memory, and brain structure in parallel.
