Potential Benefits of Lion's Mane Mushroom Capsules

Like other functional mushrooms, Lion’s Mane mushroom supplements carry a mix of naturally occurring compounds. Among them are beta-glucans, widely studied for their role in general wellbeing. It also contains rarer groups of compounds, hericenones and erinacines, which have drawn attention from researchers curious about how this mushroom might be connected with cognitive function.
