Health Benefits
Formulation Features
Neuro-Protect Px supports neuronal health and balances the neurotransmitters which have a positive effect on brain health, memory, and cognition.
The Vermont-grown, certified organic lion’s mane mushroom provides terpenoids (hericenones and erinacines), which cross the blood-brain barrier. Lion’s mane provides neuroprotection by supporting the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) within normal range, which supports healthy nerves and myelin sheath.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen and supports mental well-being. It has been shown to help support cognitive function and concentration. Preliminary research suggests that ashwagandha may be neuroprotective through mitigating the effects of stress and protecting the nervous system.
Technical Advances for Lion’s Mane
Restorative Formulations has been partnering with mushroom growers to optimize the concentration of active constituents. We worked with the US Botanical Safety Labs to develop a testing method which enabled them to separate and quantify the various diterpene derivatives using HPLC chromatogram.
When tested against other leading brands, Restorative Formulations’ lion’s mane was found to have the largest variety of terpenoids (12 total) as identified by HPLC chromatography. In terms of quantity, only one competing brand A had any significant amounts of diterpene derivatives.
The most popular US brand E contains only mycelium and no fruiting body. It ironically contained no identifiable trace amount of any terpenoids.
Why Use Mushrooms Instead of Mycelium?
Our testing shows that fruiting bodies of mushrooms contain the highest levels of active compounds such as beta glucans and terpenoids. In contrast, mycelium, which is very inexpensive to grow, has low levels of beta glucans and virtually no traceable amounts of terpenoids, because it contains mostly starches like the rice that the mycelium grows on.
“When we incorporate Restorative Formulations products into their health plan, our patients have more energy, and their blood work looks better. We recommend these products because they were created by a prominent doctor in the medical field and are clinically effective.”

“Three differences make Restorative Formulations stand out from other companies. First, they are bringing back herbs such as convallaria and rauwolfia that other companies have not used due to their complexity and alkaloid potency. Second, they use unique concentrations of herbs when needed. And third, Restorative Formulations leads the industry in thyroid support and cardiac support.”
