natural memory formula

Most people occasionally suffer from short term memory loss as a normal human condition, occuring mostly past middle-age.  Memory is partly the result of how efficient the brain cells are in relaying information between neurites, the 'tentacles' growing out from astrocytes. The process is complex, but science has discovered that cerebral function is assisted by nerve growth factor (NGF).

In 2008, Japanese scientists discovered that a certain mushroom (hericium erinaceus, common name Lion’s Mane) could significantly improve cognitive function, or memory, by promoting neurite outgrowth. In their random placebo controlled clinical trial, 30 patients were given either the mushroom or a placebo and then the results were compared over a sixteen week period.  Even after four weeks, there was a significant improvement in the candidates taking the mushroom, compared with those given the placebo, and this improvement continued during the 16 week trial period. After cessation, the cognitive performance of the patients taking the mushroom slowly declined, but not back to baseline.

Lion’s Mane mushrooms have been used for centuries in China and Japan, as a food, without ill effects, and they can be openly sold within European member states and the US.

We grow the mushrooms in the UK and dry them at 25 degrees to preserve the proteins, before cold milling them at slow speed.  Our product is unique, being the only pure Lion’s Mane capsules delivering pure undenatured proteins from this amazing mushroom, without any additives, colourants or preservatives. Our Asphalia for Natural Memory formula is gluten free and not tested on animals.
