Lion's Mane is a very interesting and relevant mushroom for cognitive development, potentially aiding memory, concentration, and brain protection.
Research also shows that it helps with reducing ADHD hyperactivity symptoms.
- Bioavailability obtained through ultrasound-assisted water and alcohol extraction.
- Functional mushrooms do not have psychoactive properties.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Lion's Mane offers a rich profile of bioactive components, including hericenones and erinacines, which stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF). This means it enhances neurogenesis, the growth of new nervous system cells in the brain.
Additionally, Lion’s Mane promotes gut health through its prebiotic properties, anti-inflammatory effect, protective effect on the intestinal lining, and regulation of gut hormones – factors that contribute to a healthy brain-gut axis.
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF MUSHROOMS?
The Lion's Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is grown in certified organic substrates sourced from Nordic forests above the Arctic Circle. Lion's Mane is a distinctive fungus that resembles suspended white icicles. It was revered in ancient Chinese culture for its ability to strengthen the mind and nourish the brain.
WHY DO THESE EXTRACTS CONTAIN ALCOHOL?
Tinctures use alcohol as a solvent to extract a wide range of beneficial components from mushrooms, enabling superior potency and better absorption by the body, as well as improved stabilization of the components. It's one of the best ways to take your functional mushrooms.
A full 1.6 ml dropper (daily dose) contains about 0.35 ml of alcohol—about the equivalent of the alcohol in a banana! This trace amount isn't enough to be detectable in the bloodstream or raise BAC levels.
Since the flavor is strong, you can mix the full dropper into a drink. The residual alcohol doesn't alter the flavor, and the mushrooms retain their full potency!
