Neuro-Protect Px supports neuronal health and balances the neurotransmitters which have a positive effect on brain health, memory, and cognition.

The Vermont-grown, certified organic lion’s mane mushroom provides terpenoids (hericenones and erinacines), which cross the blood-brain barrier. Lion’s mane provides neuroprotection by supporting the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) activity, which is responsible for healthy nerves and supports myelin sheath generation.

Cordyceps has shown to increase neurite outgrowth that helps developing healthy neuroplasticity based on bench top studies.

Technical Advances for Lion’s Mane

Restorative Formulations has been partnering with mushroom growers to optimize the concentration of active constituents. We worked with the US Botanical Safety Labs to develop a testing method which enabled them to separate and quantify the various diterpene derivatives using HPLC chromatogram.

Why Use Mushrooms Instead of Mycelium?

Our testing shows that fruiting bodies of mushrooms contain the highest levels of active compounds such as beta glucans and terpenoids. In contrast, mycelium, which is very inexpensive to grow, has low levels of beta glucans and virtually no traceable amounts of terpenoids, because it contains mostly starches like the rice that the mycelium grows on.
