Research: Lion’s Mane Boosts Brain Performance

Lion’s Mane[1]  mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is rapidly gaining traction in the wellness industry as a superfood and supplement for cognitive health and overall wellbeing.

A groundbreaking study conducted by researchers Sarah Docherty, Faye L. Doughty and Ellen F. Smith at Northumbria University, published in Nutrients (November 2023), examined the effects of Lion’s Mane in a sample of 41 healthy adults aged 18–45.

This pilot research explored both the immediate (acute) and long-term (chronic) effects of Lion’s Mane supplementation over a 28-day period. Participants were given either 1.8 grams of Lion’s Mane extract or a placebo daily, with cognitive and mood assessments conducted throughout the trial.

Key Findings

1. Enhanced cognitive performance:

Participants taking Lion’s Mane demonstrated significantly faster reaction times in the Stroop task after a single dose. The Stroop task (a test that evaluates executive function by requiring individuals to identify the colour of a word while ignoring the meaning of the word itself) is a well-established measure of cognitive control and mental flexibility. This improvement highlights Lion’s Mane’s remarkable potential to enhance cognitive processing speed, focus and decision-making.

2. Stress reduction over time:

After 28 days of supplementation, participants reported noticeably lower subjective stress levels compared to the placebo group. The reduction in stress aligns with Lion’s Mane’s reputed adaptogenic properties, which help the body manage stress and maintain emotional balance. This suggests the mushroom’s potential as a natural option for enhancing mental resilience and fostering a sense of calm.

3. Improved processing speed:

Beyond the Stroop task, participants completed a range of cognitive assessments designed to measure working memory, sustained attention and mental agility. Lion’s Mane supplementation resulted in improved processing speed across these domains, reinforcing its potential to optimise cognitive efficiency and support sharper mental performance during tasks requiring sustained focus and flexibility.

Who can benefit?

Unlike synthetic supplements, Lion’s Mane offers a natural and holistic approach to enhancing brain health. It may help prevent cognitive decline and support mental clarity for individuals seeking to optimise their overall brain health and wellbeing.

The study’s findings suggest that Lion’s Mane is not only of potential benefit for those experiencing cognitive decline. Healthy individuals can also harness its benefits for improving daily performance and maintaining long-term cognitive health. The observed improvements in reaction times, stress levels and processing speed indicate its broad potential to enhance productivity and mental wellbeing across various contexts.
