What is neurogenesis
The Neurogenesis (New neurons creation processes) It is a biological fact that has meant the fall of one of the great dogmas of biology, according to which nerve cells were not renewed, being the same throughout life.
In this process, compounds present in the León hair (Hericium erinaceus) They have proven to be helpful in the demonstrated renewal of neurons for their precursor activity in the production of Myelin (Protective layer of nerve connections) and the nervous growth factor - NGF, of English Nerve Growth Factor—.

For a few years, numerous studies have appeared confirming that in Our brain is constant neurogenesis.
In natural circumstances, in the absence of injury or illness, to prevent cell death from occurring, neurons are endowed with self -realization mechanisms and constant self -referee.
But in addition, if we suffer an injury (a cerebral vascular accident, a skull fracture or we suffer from some degenerative disease such as Alzheimer's), thousands of neurons are destroyed and the circuits are disconnected between them making it impossible to perform the functions they have entrusted.
Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)
To correct this, chemical substances called neurotrophins or nervous growth factors (NGF) are synthesized in specialized neurons and are the mediators of the process. In recent years, interest in promoting neurogenesis artificially increased, acting on genes, proteins and trophic factors that regulate it.
Herithen and Erinacinas
In this last section, the León hair He has a crucial role in neurogenesis. This fungus (native to our lush forests) contains Herithenas (A, B, C, D and E), as well as ERINACINAS, which help in the production of the hormone Nervous growth factor (NGF).
How do these substances help memory?
Different essays have demonstrated the action of Herithenonas as two -level renewal stimulators:
- Neuronal regeneration (stimulating NGF production). This factor plays an important role in peripheral neuropathies and especially those related to diabetes.
- Regeneration of the myelin layer Protective This is a decisive factor in the treatment of multiple sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Other studies have demonstrated their adaptogenic action against the stress, he insomnia, the recovery of the memory or the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson or the Alzheimer's.
