Lion's Mane 101 | Brain Health & Cognitive Benefits

The Lion's Mane ( Hericium erinaceus) mushroom, is widely recognized as one of the most remarkable medicinal mushrooms and superfoods with exceptional benefits.

Known for its "nootropic" properties, Lion's Mane possesses its remarkable ability to boost brain function and stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the brain.

NGF plays a crucial role in various activities that promote brain development and protection, including the regeneration of brain and nerve cells, the formation of new neural pathways, as well as the maintenance of the nervous and immune systems and aiding in mood regulation.

Imagine experiencing improved mood, increased focus, and enhanced memory and concentration in your daily life? With the rising levels of stimuli in our society - from overexposure to media, cell phones, and video games, to the overwhelming stress and excessive workloads leading to decision fatigue, compounded by the ever-increasing pollution in our environment and the consumption of chemical-laden foods, it is evident that our attention spans are diminishing and our brain health is deteriorating rapidly.

Studies have demonstrated that Lion's Mane enhances cognitive abilities, and improves brain function, memory, recall, and concentration. Regular consumption of Lion's Mane may yield profound neurological benefits and cognitive enhancements.

Forest Finds & Lion's Mane

Lion's Mane can be found in both our AM Tonic (boasting 1000mg of Lion's Mane per serving) and our Wellbeing Tonic (334mg per serving). Our tonics are often described as earthy, or similar to the flavour of miso - just the right amount of flavour when mixed with hot water, but almost undetectable in coffee, tea or smoothies with a great boost of adaptogenic benefits.
