With growing interest in natural nootropics, adaptogens, and holistic wellness, medicinal mushrooms are gaining recognition as one of the most potent functional foods for cognitive longevity. Backed by scientific research and centuries of traditional wisdom, this book unveils the powerful neuroprotective, adaptogenic, and immune-boosting properties of fungi like Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, and Chaga. This book delves deep into the bioactive compounds found in medicinal mushrooms such as beta-glucans, hericenones, erinacines, and triterpenes and explains how they work to protect neurons, reduce inflammation, enhance nerve regeneration, and balance stress hormones.
