One package contains 90 capsules and is intended for 1 month of regular use.
What is lion’s mane
Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus), also known as Lion’s Mane, is one of the most extensively studied medicinal mushrooms used to support cognitive function and psycho-emotional stability.
Its value is associated with a unique complex of bioactive compounds studied in the context of brain function, neuroplasticity, and adaptation to stress.
Active components of lion’s mane
- Erinacines — support of neuroplasticity and neural connections, stimulation of nerve growth factor (NGF)
- β-glucans — immune and adaptive support, modulation of immune response
- Polysaccharides — antioxidant protection and digestion, support of cellular balance
Benefits of lion’s mane extract
Regular course use of the extract may contribute to:
☘️ support of the nervous system and psycho-emotional stability
☘️ improvement of concentration and mental clarity
☘️ support of memory and cognitive functions
☘️ adaptation to stress and mental workload
☘️ support of cardiovascular health and lipid metabolism
☘️ immune and antioxidant support
☘️ support of digestion and liver function
☘️ support of glucose levels within physiological norms
☘️ support of neurotransmitter balance (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine)
☘️ support of energy metabolism and reduction of fatigue during physical and mental exertion
The effect develops gradually with regular use.
Advantages of a standardized extract
🍀 Higher bioavailability — active compounds are already extracted and ready for absorption
🍀 Stable composition — controlled content of active components
🍀 Absence of chitin — does not burden digestion
🍀 Fewer capsules — more benefits
🍀 Laboratory purification and standardization
That is why extracts are used in modern mycology and nutrition science much more often than powders or dried fruiting bodies.
Who lion’s mane extract is suitable for
- for people engaged in intensive mental work
- for entrepreneurs, analysts, IT specialists, students
- in cases of chronic stress and fatigue
- in cases of reduced concentration and mental exhaustion
- for supporting cognitive functions with age
✅ Best combination
With red fly agaric
Suitable for situations where, against a background of stress or tension, it is important to gently calm the nervous system and reduce internal excitation.
With Cordyceps militaris
Combines well for supporting immune function and physical endurance, especially during periods of increased workload.
