Nerve Growth Factor 60 X 500mg
Nerve Growth Factor 60 X 500mg
NGF is a high-strength dual extraction, full-spectrum Lion's Mane extract from the fruiting body of the mushroom. Each serving includes the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) compounds, 1% Hericenones and 4% Erinacines which can cross the blood-brain barrier, and also the immune-modulating Beta-glucans tested to be over >30%.
What is Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)?
Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) is a naturally occurring protein in the body that plays a critical role in the growth, maintenance, and survival of nerve cells (neurons). It is especially important during early development, but it also helps repair damaged nerves and supports brain health throughout life.
NGF works by binding to specific receptors on the surface of nerve cells, triggering signals that promote cell survival, growth, and regeneration. It’s a key player in the nervous system's ability to heal and adapt—known as neuroplasticity.
Why is NGF important?
- Nerve Repair: Supports the regeneration of damaged nerves, especially after injury or trauma.
- Brain Health: Involved in learning, memory, and protecting brain cells from degeneration.
- Anti-Aging: Low NGF levels have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s; boosting NGF may support cognitive function.
- Pain Modulation: NGF levels can also influence pain sensitivity, which is why NGF is being studied in chronic pain conditions.
How can NGF be supported naturally?
While direct NGF therapy is still in research stages, certain activities and nutrients may support its natural production:
- Physical exercise
- Meditation and deep breathing
- Curcumin (from turmeric)
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- Lion’s Mane mushroom
