What is it?

Lion’s Mane is an edible, medicinal mushroom native to North America, Europe and Asia. It is typically found growing on hardwood trees and is characterised by its distinctive dangling spines. Lion’s Mane may improve the development and function of nerves, while also protecting neurons from being damaged as we age.

The benefits

Lion’s Mane has become a well-established candidate in promoting positive brain and nerve health.

Data strongly suggests that Lion’s Mane offers much-needed neuroprotective applications. Subjects treated with a daily dose of Lion’s Mane demonstrated significantly increased scores for cognitive function and these scores continued to increase with the duration of intake.

Lion’s Mane supplementation over a period of 8 weeks was able to decrease symptoms associated with anxiety, stress and sleep disorders; while improving working memory.

Lion’s Mane has been used to promote neurotrophic factors in the brain. Neurotrophic factors support the growth and survival of both developing and mature neurons.
