Amyloid is a protein that deposits in the body's cells and may accumulate between the nerve cells (neurons) in the brain as we age. Recently, we have successfully isolated a substance (amyloban) from a mushroom called Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceum) that has been shown to support the survival of nerve cells in the circumstance that modeled after the toxicity of amyloid (Japanese patent 394,3399)*. Also, research indicates that other active compounds (hericenones) from the same mushroom may stimulate the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain.

Amyloban 3399 is an advanced dietary supplement based on an innovative extract containing both of the above active substances which is developed by our research team with a collaboration of inventors in Japan, China and USA (US patent pending).
