LION'S MANE MUSHROOMS

Lion’s mane helps increase Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) levels, which protects us  against degenerative brain diseases that contribute to memory loss.  While lion’s mane is best known for improving memory and concentration,  studies show it can reduce irritability and anxiety.  Lion’s mane is often referred to as “the smart mushroom” because of its ability to improve memory, focus, and clarity. This mushroom’s potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties increase blood flow to the brain, leading to improved cognitive performance and a reduction of brain fog. In one study, taking lion’s mane extract led to improvements in humans diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. 

Chaga has been used to help boost immunity. White blood cells are the immune  system’s first line of defense. This antioxidant-rich mushroom contains  high amounts of zinc, which helps the immune system combat bacteria and  viruses. For centuries, chaga has been used as a traditional medicine in Russia and other Northern European countries, mainly to boost immunity and overall health.

Tremella mushrooms (Tremella fuciformis), also known as white fungus or snow ear, are edible mushrooms that grow in tropical and subtropical regions around the world.  They have been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for disease prevention, boosting immunity, and improving skin appearance. Today, the tremella mushroom is still used for medicinal purposes.

Most of the health benefits associated with tremella mushrooms are linked to their high polysaccharide (a type of carbohydrate) content, which may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
