Lion’s mane is a non-toxic adaptogen that can be taken daily without producing any side effects.
  1. Recent evidence shows that Lion’s Mane Mushroom May be helpful for a multitude of health issues and diseases including PTSD, CPTSD, Concussions, Alzheimer’s, Dementia and many forms of Cancer. It is also suggested that it helps with immunoregulation through the nervous system, digestive system, circulatory system and the immune system. If taken regularly it can help with restoring the body, brain, liver and other organs to functioning properly.
  2. It is believed to be an immune booster and modulator that helps to fine tune and regulate your immune system.
  3. Lion’s Mane is being studied for helping with Depression and Anxiety. It contains erinacine and hericenones which can help fight depression and anxiety by increasing dopamine levels. Erinacine is form of an opiod peptide that can activate the Mu-type opioid receptors in your brain, resulting in an improved mood by inducing anti-depressant effects. Hericenones are a substance that can increase serotonin levels. Erinacines and Hericenones has the ability to cross the blood brain barrier to help induce your brain to reduce anxiety and depression as well as reduce stress levels.
  4. It is being studied for treating Neurodegenerative Diseases. It has been shown to be effective in preventing and treating Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Dementia. Lion’s Mane has the ability to cross the blood brain barrier because it has high levels of Hericenones which are shown to activate NGF production which slows the Neurodegenerative diseases and reduce beta-amyloid proteins found in Alzheimer’s patients (which can cause brain cell damage).
  5. It is used to Reduce Stress. It is an effective adaptogen and has been shown to reduce stress-related damage in the hippocampus of the brain. It helps to promote healthy brain function and prevent dopamine re-uptake helping to increase motivation.
  6. Helps aid in blood pressure. Lion’s Mane appears to be an ACE inhibitor (which helps reduce blood pressure).
  7. Lion’s mane is known for it anti-inflammatory properties. In a study involving rats that were induced with a stroke, Lion’s mane reduced levels of acute inflammatory cytokines: IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-alpha, while downregulating iNOS.
  8. Known to improve Glucose and Lipid Metabolism, In one study Lion’s mane was able to improve HDL-C by 31.1% and reduce LDL by 45.5% Lion’s mane has compounds like palmatic acid, threitol and D-arabinitol which may have antioxidant effects and help regulate blood lipid levels and reduce blood glucose levels.
  9. Believed to help speed up recovery from Nervous System Injuries. The nervous system is the largest system in our body and includes our brain, spinal cord and all the nerves that travel extensively throughout the whole body. They all work together to transmit signals that control almost every function of the body. Injuries to the brain (Concussions, Trauma, etc.) or spinal cord can cause loss of mental functions and even paralysis and take years to heal if they do. Recent research is finding that Lion’s mane mushrooms may help speed recovery of these types of injuries. It is found to stimulate growth and repair of nerve cells and the extract may also reduce the severity of brain damage from a stroke.
