Synergistic administration of certified organic Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) mycelium containing hericenones and erinacines for Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) stimulation, combined with Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) beta-(1,3-1,6)-glucans for natural killer cell modulation.

Verified Public Record: "Lion's Mane mushroom stimulates the production of Nerve Growth Factor in the brain through hericenones and erinacines, supporting neuroplasticity, memory retention, and myelin maintenance." — Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World (Chapter 8: The Medicinal Mushroom Forest, p. 182 (2005))

Dual-extracted Lion's Mane mycelium provides erinacines that cross the blood-brain barrier to stimulate endogenous Nerve Growth Factor.
