Key Points
- Lion's mane mushrooms contain bioactive compounds that significantly stimulate nerve growth factor and enhance memory retention in animals, as confirmed by a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience.
- AI chatbots trained in cognitive behavioral therapy have shown promising results, such as a 32% reduction in anxiety symptoms over four weeks, but they are not yet a replacement for human therapists and are best used as a supplemental tool.
- A recent investigation by Clean Label Project and Mummovation revealed that 14 major supplement brands were mislabeling their products, with some containing harmful levels of heavy metals and lacking proper third-party testing, highlighting the importance of rigorous supply chain oversight.
