The mechanism of action for supplements like Lion's Mane may involve decreased neural inflammation, synaptic transmission effects, neuroplasticity, nerve growth factor, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

“I wonder I would love to look into the mechanism do you know the mechanism of how they're working in the brain like what are they doing I know I know there's some element of decreased neural inflammation I know there is there's a synaptic transmission effect there's an effect on neuroplasticity on nerve growth factor on brain-derived neurotropic factor like I'm pretty sure it's multimodal kind of similar some like lions being or like there's like ten different mechanisms of action of lions me yeah yeah I beta glucans in that on cognitive function and it's hard to really pinpoint what the real thing is what the major thing is yeah yeah yeah”
