Lion's Mane is also interesting for athletes, report researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Physical Education in China
The researchers did an experiment with mice. They gave the animals an alcohol-extracted fruiting body supplement for a period of 28 days and then got them to swim until the point of exhaustion.
The higher the dose, the greater the endurance capacity. When the researchers then went on to study the muscles and livers of the mice, they found more glycogen than they did in the muscles of the mice that had not been given Lion's Mane. The concentration of malondialdehyde, a marker for free radical damage, also decreased as a result of supplementation.
