May Help Fight Cancer

When DNA is damaged, uncontrolled cell division and replication result, which leads to cancer. According to certain studies, the lion's mane mushroom's special components may have the ability to fight cancer. In fact, lion's mane extract has been shown to accelerate the death of human cancer cells when combined with the cells in a test tube. This has been proven with a variety of cancer cell types, including those from the stomach, liver, colon, and blood.

More research is required because at least one study was unable to duplicate these findings. Lion's mane extract has also been demonstrated to stop the spread of cancer in addition to destroying cancer cells. A lion's mane extract supplementation prevented the progression of colon cancer to the lungs in mice by 69 percent, according to one research. In a different research, tumor development in mice was found to be slowed down more effectively and with fewer side effects by lion's mane extract than by conventional cancer medicines. More investigation is required since the lion's mane mushroom's anti-cancer properties have never been proven in people.
