Lion's Mane

Lion’s Mane: Natural Brain Support

Lion’s Mane, or Hericium erinaceus, is a remarkable edible mushroom celebrated in traditional Chinese wellness practices. Rich in unique compounds like β-glucans and hericenones, Lion's Mane is known to naturally support brain function and cognitive wellness.

Modern science now confirms Lion’s Mane’s ability to protect, optimize, and repair the nervous system.

The most exciting aspect of Lion’s Mane lies in its impact on neuron activity. Research shows that extracts of Lion's Mane can boost the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), a crucial protein for neuron growth and survival.

Neurotrophic and Nootropic Benefits :

• Stimulates Neuron Growth: Increases the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), crucial for neuron development and maintenance.

• Enhances Memory and Learning: Boosts hippocampal activity, vital for memory processing and integration.

• Promotes Synaptic Connections: Encourages the formation and growth of synapses, enhancing cognitive function and mental clarity.

• Protects Against Oxidative Stress: Contains antioxidants that shield brain cells from oxidative damage, preserving cognitive health.

• Optimizes Mitochondrial Function: Improves the efficiency of mitochondria, ensuring neurons have the energy they need to function optimally.

• Supports Axonal Growth: Promotes axonal growth and regeneration, aiding recovery from nerve damage and improving neural circuit assembly.Natural Brain Support

Brain volume and weight are observed to decrease by approximately 5% per decade after the age of 40, with the rate of decline potentially accelerating, especially after age 70.

Lion’s Mane can be a valuable addition to your wellness routine, especially if:

You’re 40+ and looking to support cognitive health as you age

You’re 20+ and interested in boosting memory and focus

You have factors associated with:

• Cognitive health considerations
• Family history of cognitive decline (Dementia, Alzheimer, Parkinson...)
• Sedentary lifestyle
• High cholesterol or hypertension
• Smoking
• Blood circulation concerns

1. Shake well before use.

2. Start with 2 drops and gradually increase to your desired dose:

• For Cognitive Enhancement: Up to 50 drops per day (2x Dropper Pipette)
• For General Brain Health: 35 drops per day (1x Dropper Pipette)

3. Add the drops to a large glass of water (24cl).

4. Wait one minute before drinking.

5. Take before or during meals, 2x to 3x times a day.
