Lion's Mane Mushroom

Cascading and spindly white icicles give Lion’s Mane its striking appearance and make it one of the coolest mushrooms out there. Buddhist monks certainly thought so as they used Lion’s Mane extensively to enhance focus and purpose in their study. Cherished for its ability to restore and refuel the mind, Lion’s Mane improves concentration, memory, and mental clarity. Here to give calm, but laser sharp focus.

Health Benefits

Often called “nature’s gift to the immune system,” Lion’s Mane has shown beneficial effects on the peripheral and central nervous system, aiding in everything from stroke recovery to dementia and other cognitive impairments. Considered a nootropic food, Lion’s Mane is notable for its ability to repair and regenerate neurons by helping the body produce nerve growth factor (NGF), and has been found in research studies to improve cognitive function.

Backed by science.

We want to know the research behind the ingredients we consume. We hope you do too. Medicinal mushrooms have been used for thousands of years in ancient eastern medicine and are now being researched in clinical studies more and more every day. Of the many unaffiliated studies that have informed our decisions about how to make our blend, the titles below are the most relevant and compelling.
