Lion’s Mane Tincture

All our tinctures go through a double-extraction process at a lab facility outfitted with equipment designed to support our good manufacturing practices in a clean and safe environment.

Our Lion’s Mane tincture is made from 100% fruit bodies (not mycellium and/or fillers) grown at our facility. To preserve all the medicinal benefits of the mushroom, the fruit bodies are freeze dried (instead of dehydrated) before undergoing the extraction process.

Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is a type of edible mushroom that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly in Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Korea. It is known for its unique appearance, resembling a lion’s mane, and has gained attention for its potential medicinal benefits. While research on Lion’s Mane is still ongoing, here are some of the potential medicinal benefits associated with this mushroom:

1. Cognitive health: Lion’s Mane is often regarded for its potential neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties. It contains bioactive compounds, including hericenones and erinacines, which may stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the brain. NGF is a protein that plays a crucial role in the growth, maintenance, and survival of nerve cells. Some studies suggest that Lion’s Mane may have the potential to enhance cognitive function, memory, and focus, and could have therapeutic applications in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
2. Nervous system support: The bioactive compounds in Lion’s Mane may have a positive impact on the central nervous system. Animal studies have shown that Lion’s Mane extracts could promote nerve regeneration and improve nerve function, potentially aiding in the recovery from nerve injuries.
3. Mood and mental health: Preliminary research suggests that Lion’s Mane may have antidepressant and anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects. It is believed that Lion’s Mane’s ability to modulate neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine in the brain could contribute to its mood-enhancing properties.
4. Digestive health: Lion’s Mane has been traditionally used to support digestive health. It contains polysaccharides and other compounds that may help protect the gastrointestinal lining and promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Some studies suggest that Lion’s Mane could have potential applications in the management of digestive disorders such as gastric ulcers and inflammatory bowel disease.
5. Immune system modulation: Lion’s Mane has been found to possess immunomodulatory properties, meaning it may help regulate and support the immune system’s function. It could potentially enhance immune response and promote the production of immune cells, aiding in the defense against infections and diseases.

It’s important to note that while there is promising research on the potential health benefits of Lion’s Mane mushroom, more studies are needed to fully understand its effects and establish optimal dosages for specific conditions. It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating Lion’s Mane or any other supplement into your healthcare routine, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medications.
