A vast body of science backs Lion's Mane's medicinal properties. It’s been used in Eastern Medicine for millennia, and more recently, a growing body of scientific evidence has been confirming that it protects neurons, enhances cognitive function and generally supports the nervous system. Studies show that it can help uplift the mood, support memory and concentration, and ease symptoms associated with depression and degenerative brain diseases.

Lion’s mane is a potent nootropic (a substance that enhances mental abilities) and can support the body against a host of conditions, potentially including Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, anxiety and depression. It also helps modulate inflammation, balances cholesterol levels and eases ulcers and acidity. Scientific studies also suggest that this mystical-looking mushroom stimulates digestion, reduces the risk of cancer, and boosts the immune system.

Over time, your brain naturally slows down due to wear and tear on a cellular level. One of the ways that Lion's mane achieves its protective and regenerative effects is by stimulating your body to naturally produce two compounds: nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These substances are essential in creating new cells and strengthening the ones you already have. They keep your brain resilient against stress and ageing.
