Organic Lion's Mane
Lion’s Mane mushroom can be helpful for improving focus, memory and supporting the immune system. This incredible mushroom has shown that it can help stimulate nerve cell growth and repair, which aids with physical recovery as well as enhancing cognition. It also contains high amounts of beta-glucans, which can help to up-regulate the bodies immune system to fight off pathogens and clear out damaged cells. To find out about our Lion's Mane extract, read our blog post. This is an 8:1 extract powder, which means we use 8g's of raw Lion's Mane to create 1g of powder.

Benefits include:
- Improved focus, memory and learning
- Increased mental clarity and decreased brain fog
- Protection against degenerative neural disorders
- Counteracts brain and nervous system ageing
- Boosts the immune system
How it works: Lion's Mane grows and protects neurons (information messengers for the brain and nervous system) via stimulating Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and reducing inflammation in the brain.
What makes our Lion's Mane different: Our Lion's Mane is made from 100% fruiting bodies, is certified organic and wild-crafted on sawdust substrate with natural lighting and fresh air. We then use a dual-extraction and vacuum drying process to turn the mushrooms into an 8:1 concentrated extract powder.
On completion of this process, we have our finished product lab analysed to demonstrate how our method maintains a really high level of the beneficial beta-glucans present in these mushrooms. Our latest batch contains 21.1%.
Our Lion's Mane is packaged in Miron Glass jars to provide complete protection from UV rays which can degrade the quality of the product.
This product DOES NOT contain mycelium, starch, pesticides, toxins or fillers of any kind. It's also wild-crafted and therefore not lab-grown with the use of oats.

Storage Instructions
All of our mushroom extracts are very hygroscopic (they absorb moisture out of the air very easily). Therefore, to ensure they remain as a powder and do not clump, store them in a non humid environment and re-apply the lid shortly after using. As with all our products, our goal is to provide the purist form possible and therefore chose not to mix fibres or maltodextrin with the mushrooms that are often used to prevent the powder clumping.
FAQs Questions
Do you lab test your finished products?
Of course - every batch is tested for heavy metals and beta-glucan percentage. Beta-glucans are the compounds within Lion's Mane, which give it it's immune enhancing properties.
How long will my tub last?
This all depends on dosage. However, if you take 1-2 grams per day, the tub will last 20-40 days.
What are the benefits of taking Lion's Mane?
Studies suggest Lion's Mane has the potential to: - Improve focus, memory and learning - Increase mental clarity and decrease brain fog - Protect against degenerative neural disorders - Counteract brain and nervous system ageing - Reduce depression and anxiety - Boost the immune system

Will taking your supplements break a fast?
If you are doing a water fast with zero calories, then they will break the fast, as a serving contains a very small amount of calories. However, if your fasting goals are autophagy or healing your gut microbiome, you can take the supplements without negatively impacting those goals.
