Description
Description:
Lion’s mane mushrooms (Hericium erinaceus) are made up of numerous long, white, fleshy spines that grow in a shaggy, pom-pom-like shape on dead hardwood trees like oak.
They can be eaten raw, dried or cooked and taken in capsule form. They are rich in thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and minerals like manganese, zinc, and potassium.
They have been used in Chinese and East Asian medicine for 2000 years.
The active ingredients in Lion’s Mane are found in the fruiting body of the mushroom. This provides the beta-glucans which are specific for the beneficial effects of Lion’s Mane.
The active ingredients in Lion’s Mane include polysaccharides (the beta-glucans specific to mushrooms), erinacines hericerins, steroids, alkaloids and lactones. These ingredients all assist in helping protect the body from damage caused by free radicals and inflammation while promoting the growth and regeneration of nerve cells.
