What It Is
Lions Mane is a species of edible mushroom, forming part of the tooth fungus family. It has a long history of traditional use, originally gaining popularity as a traditional Chinese medicine. Historically it has been used for a variety of bodily and cognitive ailments. Many are not aware that lions mane mushroom has culinary uses too - and you will find that the powder adds a unique, umami taste to tea, coffee and smoothies.
How It Works
Lions mane contains a diverse range of natural chemicals which work together to achieve its effects. Most important of these are hericenones, erinacines, and beta-glucans.
Hericenones and erinacines are unique to Lions Mane. They raise levels of BDNF (Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor) and NGF (Nerve Growth Factor); two proteins which regulate neuroplasticity and promote neuronal survival. BDNF encourages neurons to form new connections within the brain, while NGF does this in both the brain and body tissues. Enhanced neuroplasticity has a beneficial effect on mood, cognitive function, memory and creativity. Similarly, it can aid recovery from damage to the nervous system, whether inside or outside of the brain.
Beta-glucans are a class of carbohydrate found in the cell walls of fungi, and certain plants such as barley. They have potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, and also act as prebiotics - improving gut health and increasing bacterial SFCA production. These compounds are primarily responsible for Lions Mane's immune and gut benefits, but also have a positive effect on the brain in a supporting role.
What To Expect
Like many natural supplements, Lions Mane takes time to achieve its full effect. Some experience benefits after just a few days, but for many it can take several months to reach peak effectiveness. Mild side effects like drowsiness may be felt especially in the first week/s. We recommend you stop using Lions Mane if you experience uncomfortable side effects such as brain-fog or paraesthesia.
