Description
Why should we take Lion’s Mane
Brain Health
Lion’s mane has long been revered for its cognitive and neurological effects. Studies have found it stimulates production of nerve growth factor (NGF) which helps to maintain the neurons, which are the brain cells responsible for helping us to process and transmit information. It is useful for learning and memory, and helps to optimise neurogenesis; the creation and growth of new brain cells, making it an ideal nootropic for supporting focus and productivity.
Immunity
Lion’s mane mushroom contains bioactive compounds, including beta-glucans, which can support and modulate the immune system. By enhancing immune response, lion’s mane can help to support overall health.
Mental Health
Studies suggest lion’s mane can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by modulating the levels of specific neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which play crucial roles in regulating mood, motivation, and stress response.
Active Ingredients:
Hericenones and Erinacines
Lion’s mane is rich in hericenones and erinacines which are believed to contribute to the mushroom’s cognitive-enhancing properties. They have strong anti-bacterial activity and help stimulate the generation of nerve growth factor (NGF) which is a neuropeptide that helps to maintain neurons and supports optimal brain functioning.
Beta-glucans
High amounts of polysaccharides including beta-glucans to support immunity.
Antioxidants
Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
