A powerful nootropic herb – Lion’s Mane is a powerful brain tonic that improves cognitive health & overall brain function. It helps regenerate brain cells & improve the function of the hippocampus, a region of the brain responsible for processing memories & emotional responses.
Protect against memory loss – Lion’s mane protects against memory problems caused by the build-up of amyloid-beta (a substance that causes brain plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease).
Stroke – Studies have shown that Lion’s mane is neuroprotective against ischemic stroke. An ischemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients.
Promote neuron growth & repair. Nootropic compounds like Erinacines & hericenones found in Lion’s mane can cross the protective blood-brain barrier to stimulate the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) & brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) that help to promote the growth, repair & normal functioning of neurons. Neurons are the building blocks of our brain & nervous system. These factors are necessary for neuroplasticity, the generation of new neuron pathways in the brain following injury or illness. It is used in cases of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS & other conditions.
Alzheimer’s & Dimensia – Lion’s mane protects against Alzheimer’s disease, dementia & other memory-related cognitive functions that we tend to lose when we get older.
Meditation, Focus & Mindfulness – Lion’s mane has been used as tea by Buddhist monks for thousands of years to enhance brain power & their ability to focus during meditation.
Anxiety & irritability – Relief irritation & anxiety, especially during menopause.
Depression – Lion’s mane may increase serotonin in a depressed person by reversing the levels of excitatory neurotransmitters like dopamine & serotonin.
Improve focus, ward off brain fog, promote alertness & a positive mood.
Spark creativity & mental clarity – It is a great brain booster for work & study.
Heart Health – High Cholesterol, high blood pressure & heart disease.
Inflammation – Anti-inflammatories promote healing & contribute to the neuroprotective benefits of Lion’s mane on the brain.
Antioxidant – Neutralize free radicals in the cells to prevent oxidative damage. Lion’s mane counteracts tissue damage that is caused by oxidative stress & inflammation throughout the body.
Immune Health – Enhance the immune system by reducing inflammation & preventing oxidation. Lion’s mane bioactive compounds modulate the immune system, supporting appropriate responses without overreaction.
Intestinal immune modulator – Lion’s mane contains diverse phytochemicals, including polysaccharides, such as beta-glucans, a prebiotic fiber, and digestive enzymes that support immune health & promote healthy gut flora. It boosts the activity of the intestinal immune system which is the body’s defense against pathogens that get into the body through the mouth & nose. It assists in alleviating colon cancer by reducing the size of cancerous colon tumors & preventing them from spreading to other parts of the body.
Fight cancer – Lion’s mane slow down cancer cell formation & prevent the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. It encourages apoptosis (Cell death) of cancer cells.
Parkinson’s disease – Parkinson’s is a disease of neural cell death. Lion’s mane promotes neurogenesis (neuron cell growth.) The neurotrophic effect of Lion’s mane is beneficial in the treatment & prevention of Parkinson’s disease. It also prevents neurotoxicity related to Parkinson’s.
Alleviate ulcers & aid digestion – It promotes good digestion, a healthy gut flora, general vigor & strength. It is recommended for gastric & duodenal ulcers, as well as chronic gastritis.
Inflammation & oxidation – Lion’s main contain antioxidants that fight both inflammation & oxidation in the body.
A nutritive to the five internal organs – Liver, lung, spleen, heart & kidney.
Improve fat metabolism & lower triglyceride levels. It may also help prevent the oxidation of cholesterol in the bloodstream.
