Supplement Spotlight: Lions Mane Mushroom

What is Lions Mane Mushroom?
Lions Mane Mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is a white, shaggy mushroom that has been a prized component of traditional medicine in East Asia for centuries. Revered for its brain-boosting abilities, Lions Mane is often referred to as "nature’s nootropic" due to its unique ability to stimulate brain cell regeneration and support cognitive function. Its appearance is just as fascinating as its benefits, resembling a cascading mane of hair.

Fun Fact:
Lions Mane is a culinary delicacy in many cultures, with a texture often compared to lobster or crab when cooked!

The Benefits
Lions Mane Mushroom stands out for its ability to stimulate the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a protein essential for the growth, maintenance, and repair of neurons. This makes it a powerful ally for memory enhancement, learning, and overall cognitive health. Additionally, it helps protect the brain from damage caused by oxidative stress, inflammation, and ageing. Studies suggest it can even support neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to adapt and reorganise itself, crucial for learning and memory.

• Boosts Memory and Learning: By stimulating NGF production, Lions Mane supports synaptic connections, which are critical for processing and retaining information.
• Protects Brain Cells: The antioxidant compounds in Lions Mane protect neurons from damage caused by free radicals.
• Reduces Brain Inflammation: Its anti-inflammatory properties create a more conducive environment for neural communication, improving mental clarity.

Other Benefits:

• Mood Support: Lions Mane regulates the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which are critical for mood stability and motivation.
• Nerve Repair: By promoting NGF, it aids in the repair of damaged nerves, potentially offering benefits for conditions linked to neural degeneration.
• Gut-Brain Axis Support: Lions Mane’s polysaccharides benefit gut health, which is intricately connected to brain health and emotional wellbeing.

Active Ingredients and Why They Work

• Hericenones and Erinacines: Unique to Lions Mane, these compounds stimulate NGF production, which is essential for neural growth and repair.
• Beta-glucans: Potent antioxidants that protect neurons from oxidative damage and improve immune response.
• Polysaccharides: These compounds support gut health and immune modulation, indirectly benefiting mental clarity and resilience.

Why We Use a High-Quality Extract
Our Lions Mane uses a 10:1 extract to ensure a concentrated dose of active compounds, allowing you to experience maximum benefits without needing to consume large amounts of raw mushroom. This ensures consistency and potency with every dose.

Why an Oral Spray?
Oral sprays bypass the digestive system, delivering the active compounds directly into the bloodstream. This results in faster absorption and more immediate benefits for cognitive enhancement.

Stacks Great With:
Ginkgo Biloba: Enhances blood flow to the brain for improved oxygen and nutrient delivery.
N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine: Amplifies neurotransmitter production for better focus and mental stamina.
