Lions Mane is the most well known of the 'functional' mushrooms due to the exciting benefits it appears to have on the brain.

There's a wealth of anecdotal evidence for the way Lions Mane supplements have improved people's mood, concentration, memory, and lifted 'brain fog' - and there's a growing body of scientific evidence too. One of the active compounds of Hericium erinaceus is Hericenones, that have been shown to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor synthesis, which is crucial for the survival of brain cells, whilst the diterpenes it contains improve brain function and stimulate cognitive performance.

There is also exciting work being undertaken to look at the potential neuroprotective effects of the Lions Mane mushroom. The University of the West of England Bristol (UWE) is currently undertaking a research project looking at the neurotoxic damage in diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease and how extracts from Lions Mane mushrooms could be used to make specific therapeutic compounds. 

This product contains 100% lions mane mushroom (fruiting bodies) that have been grown, dried and powdered by us. No fillers or anything else.
