Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract (Hericium erinaceus) – 100g
Lion’s Mane mushroom extract (Hericium erinaceus), also known as Yamabushitake in Japan and Hou Tou in China, is a powerful medicinal mushroom gaining significant attention for its diverse health benefits. This 100g extract offers a convenient way to incorporate this potent fungus into your wellness routine.
Digestive Health & Cancer Support
Lion’s Mane extract is traditionally used to support digestive health. It may help neutralize stomach acid, protecting the stomach lining from damage and promoting the repair of ulcers. It can improve circulation in digestive organs, enhance nutrient absorption, and stimulate healthy bowel movements. While not a cure for cancer, some studies suggest its potential role as a supportive therapy in various cancers, including those of the stomach, esophagus, liver, and skin, often used alongside conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. It’s crucial to consult with your oncologist before using Lion’s Mane as a complementary therapy for cancer treatment.
Immune & Neurological Support
Lion’s Mane extract exhibits potent immunomodulatory properties, boosting the immune system and helping to fight off infections. Further, it’s gaining recognition for its potential to support nerve regeneration and cognitive function. This makes it a promising natural remedy for neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and even aiding in stroke recovery. It may also help improve sleep quality and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Other potential benefits:
- Reduce inflammation
- Lower blood lipid levels
- Improve overall well-being
- Act as an antioxidant
- Promote healthy aging
Usage
Take 1 teaspoon (5ml) before meals three times daily. Dissolve in 50-60°C (122-140°F) hot water and let steep for 15-20 minutes before consuming.
