🐶🍄🦁 LION’S MANE MUSHROOM MAY DO MORE THAN SUPPORT THE BRAIN.
A new peer-reviewed laboratory study published in Veterinary World found that a Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) extract slowed the growth of canine mammary (breast) cancer cells, triggered them to self-destruct, and reduced their ability to spread. Even more encouraging, it had much less effect on healthy dog cells than on cancer cells.
Researchers discovered that Lion’s Mane appeared to fight cancer in several ways at once:
🔬 Slowed the growth of canine cancer cells
💥 Triggered apoptosis—the body’s natural process of removing damaged cells
🚫 Reduced the cancer cells’ ability to migrate, an important first step in metastasis (the spread of cancer)
🔒 Shifted cancer cells toward a less aggressive state by changing genes involved in tumor spread
🍄 Identified 17 naturally occurring bioactive compounds, including erinacines and hericenones, that may contribute to these effects.
One of the biggest surprises of the cell culture study was that the extract appeared to attack cancer cells while leaving most healthy dog cells largely unaffected. DR Karen Becker
