Lion's Mane for improving digestion

Stomach Issues?
Many people suffer from digestive disorders such as constipation, bloating, flatulence, and abdominal discomfort. These problems can be caused by stress, improper nutrition, a sedentary lifestyle, and other factors.

Mushrooms can become your helpers in improving digestion! A recent study conducted by scientists from Jilin University in China (Yang Y. et al., Molecules 2018, 23, 3158; PMID: 30513668) showed that polysaccharides from the edible mushroom Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) have prebiotic properties. What does this mean? Prebiotics are substances that stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines, improving digestion and strengthening immunity.

Researchers found that after passing through an artificial environment that mimics the stomach and small intestine, polysaccharides from Lion's Mane better promoted the growth of probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium compared to the original polysaccharide. This occurred because during digestion, the polysaccharides were broken down into simple sugars, which then "fed" the beneficial bacteria.

In addition, fermentation of polysaccharides by probiotic bacteria led to the formation of short-chain fatty acids such as acetic, lactic, and butyric acids. These substances have anti-inflammatory effects, improve the barrier function of the intestines, and may even reduce the risk of cancer.
