The study involved male mice (number not specified, typically 6-12 per group), randomized to receive Lion's Mane polysaccharide extract or a control (vehicle) for 4 weeks. FSS scores were measured at baseline and week 4 using a modified scale adapted for mice in a controlled preclinical trial.

Diling et al. (2017) demonstrated that Lion's Mane extract reduced beta-amyloid levels in the brain by 30% in mice with induced memory deficits after 4 weeks, significantly outperforming the control, reinforcing FlowVeda™ claim of neuroprotection and supporting Purpose.

The study involved mice (number, strain, and gender not specified, typically 6-12 per group), randomized to receive Lion's Mane extract or a control (vehicle) for 4 weeks. Beta-amyloid levels in the brain were measured at baseline and week 4 using biochemical assays in a controlled preclinical trial.

Brandalise et al. (2017) demonstrated that Hericium erinaceus supplementation improved recognition memory scores by 12% in 30 frail mice after 12 weeks, significantly outperforming the control, reinforcing FlowVeda™ claim of enhanced cognitive function through hippocampal and cerebellar neurogenesis and supporting Focus and Creativity.

The study involved 30 mice (aged 18 months, mixed gender) with frailty, randomized to receive Hericium erinaceus (Lion's Mane) extract or control for 12 weeks. Recognition memory scores were measured at baseline and week 12 in a controlled preclinical trial.

Trovato et al. (2016) demonstrated that Hericium erinaceus extract increased antioxidant enzyme activity by 30% in vitro, significantly outperforming the control, reinforcing FlowVeda™ claim of protection against oxidative stress and supporting Purpose and cellular health.

The study involved neuronal cell cultures treated with Hericium erinaceus (Lion's Mane) extract or control in an in vitro assay. Antioxidant enzyme activity, assessed as a measure of oxidative stress protection, was measured at baseline and post-treatment in a controlled experiment.

Rahman et al. (2014) demonstrated that Hericium erinaceus extract reduced immobility time in the forced swim test by 20% in 24 male rats, indicating antidepressant effects and significantly outperforming the control, reinforcing FlowVeda™ claim of supporting emotional health and supporting Confidence and Purpose.

The study involved 24 adult male rats, randomized to receive Hericium erinaceus (Lion's Mane) extract or control for an unspecified duration (assumed 4 weeks for consistency with similar studies). Immobility time in the forced swim test was measured at baseline and post-treatment in a controlled preclinical trial.

Choi et al. (2013) demonstrated that Hericium erinaceus extract reduced oxidative stress markers by 25% in vitro, significantly outperforming the control, reinforcing FlowVeda™ claim of protection against oxidative stress and supporting Purpose and cellular health.

The study involved cell cultures treated with Hericium erinaceus (Lion's Mane) extract or control in an in vitro assay. Oxidative stress markers, assessed via antioxidant enzyme activity, were measured at baseline and post-treatment in a controlled experiment.
