May Lower Cholesterol

A 2015 study found evidence that the dietary fiber component of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) may be useful in reducing triglyceride accumulation in the liver.4

Promotes Heart Health

Research shows that whole foods with fiber, such as mushrooms, provide several health effects with few calories, making them a good choice for a healthy eating pattern. Several studies have associated a higher intake of fiber with better heart health.

Authors of one study specifically said that fiber in vegetables and other foods "makes them attractive targets for disease prevention and reduction of risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease."5

Supports Better Immune Function

Oyster mushrooms may enhance immune function, according to a small study published in 2016.6 For the study, participants ingested an oyster mushroom extract for eight weeks. At the study's end, researchers found evidence that the extract might have immune-enhancing effects.

Another study reported that oyster mushrooms contain compounds that act as immunomodulators to help to regulate the immune system.2

May Reduce Risk of Cancer

Some preliminary research indicates that oyster mushrooms may possess cancer-fighting properties.7 A 2012 study demonstrated that an oyster mushroom extract might suppress breast cancer and colon cancer growth and spread in human cells. Research is ongoing, with scientists suggesting that more studies are needed to understand the relationship fully.8

Improves Metabolic Health

Consuming a diet that includes plenty of fiber-rich vegetables is often recommended by health professionals as a method to reach and maintain a healthy weight. But mushrooms may offer an additional benefit to help you maintain better metabolic health.

One published study examined the effects of edible mushrooms on obesity. Researchers concluded that "regular consumption of mushrooms is effective in treating metabolic syndrome, including obesity." However, they advised that the practice needs to be combined with regular physical exercise and dietary and lifestyle alterations

Lion's mane mushrooms have a mild, sweet, and earthy flavor, and some say they taste like seafood or crab meat. They can be eaten raw, dried, or cooked, and when cooked they become tender, juicy, and slightly chewy. Because they have a mild taste, you can add other ingredients to enhance the flavor, such as black tea bags, cinnamon, cardamom, ground ginger, honey, or lemon

A 100 g serving of lions mane provides around 35 calories and 7 g of carbohydrates with a decent amount of potassium and iron. Lion's mane is also high in protein, having an average of 22 g of protein per 100 g of dry mushrooms. It is also an incredible non animal source of essential amino acids.

Lion's mane health benefits

In our busy society, we honour those who work to the point of burnout. With constant social pressures to consistently perform and "always be on,” it’s no surprise that lion’s mane mushroom has attracted the attention of many elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and hard working students to help lower inflammation and boost performance, mental acuity and focus.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Studies show that consuming lion's mane mushroom powder helps to reduce stress, promotes brain function, and improves memory. The brain enhancing and mental performance benefits of lion’s mane are the main reason why we take this powerful medicinal mushroom. With its powerful anti inflammatory benefits and the ability to boost antioxidant activity and activate brainpower (with no known side effects), use lion's mane mushrooms to smash your daily goals, perform at a high level and stay on top of your game every day.

However, most people are unaware that the brain boosting compounds in lion’s mane are fat-soluble and therefore, need to be extracted in alcohol to be bioavailable and have any effect in the body. Most lion’s mane products on the market are only hot water extracts which means you’re getting more of the immune supportive benefits but very little (if any) of the brain enhancing qualities.

This powerful tonic (food for brain health) is one of the best and only natural nootropics on the market. Lion's mane has the remarkable ability to promote the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) within the brain. This helps boost cognition by reducing inflammation, stimulating neural development, and enhancing all around brain health. NGF is also the primary protein nutrient responsible for enhancing and repairing neurological disorders.

Lion's mane has been described as the "smart mushroom.” Research has shown that consuming lion’s mane regularly, can offer profound neurological benefits and cognitive enhancements including enhanced memory and recall. If you're struggling to get back to school and/or work and can't seem to focus or concentrate, lion's mane mushroom can help you. This provides long term  benefits to improve memory, focus, concentration and help eliminate brain fog and mental fatigue.

However, lion’s mane is also a profound tonic for calming the nervous system and relieving stress in the body. It’s for this reason that monks and spiritual sages over centuries have used lion’s mane to enhance meditation and other spiritual practices.

Key benefits of lion’s mane include:

Elevates mood

Reduces stress

Increases energy

Improves memory

Improves gut health

Enhances immunity

Boosts antioxidants

Supports nervous system
