Hericium Erinaceus SAP is a hot water extracted mushroom. Hericium erinaceus (HE) is also known by its common name, lion's mane.
Hericium erinaceus has been called "nature's nutrient for neurons" due to its ability to stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF plays an important role in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and low levels have been linked to early stages of disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Hericium erinaceus has also been shown to have a beneficial effect on gastric mucosal lesions seen with ulcers. Hericium erinaceus has a positive impact on immune health and may support a healthy immune response.
