Natures Root Lion's Mane Mushroom Powder 100g

Product Information

Research shows that lion’s mane mushrooms contain powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that may help reduce the impact of these illnesses ( 48). of these vendors can't even provide a single, valid certificate of analysis for their extracts. Not only do they source their mushroom extracts from highly questionable sources, but they then claim to offer independent tests while providing Chinese manufacturer-issued 'certificates', which are as unreliable as it gets. In fact, when lion’s mane extract is mixed with human cancer cells in a test tube, they cause the cancer cells to die faster. This has been demonstrated with several types of cancer cells, including liver, colon, stomach, and blood cancer cells ( 37, 38, 39, 40). However, at least one older study has failed to replicate these results ( 41).

Several animal studies have found that lion’s mane extract reduced markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in rodents and may be especially useful in managing inflammatory bowel disease, liver damage, and stroke ( 22, 50, 51). You’d be wise not to expect instant results with lion’s mane supplements. Clinical studies done with lion’s mane are typically done over at least two months of use. How much Lion’s Mane should you take? This rebuilding of nerve cells and thus improvement of nervous system function, could mean that Lion’s mane could play a vital role in the treatment of nerve related conditions as well as possibly repairing neurological trauma and increasing cognitive abilities. These points are crucial to the issue. Without a valid reference standard, every analytical report you will find online will have been based on proprietary methodologies that cannot be verified by a third party because their methods are not open for review, and no one knows what kind of standards are being used. There is no way of knowing how the numbers have been reached, and it is impossible to rely on the results if you have any interest in being accurate. This is equivalent to "trust me, bro".

How is it made?

The type of extraction process that has been used will typically be reflected by how it looks. A high quality hot water Lions Mane extract will undergo 1:1 extraction and the powder will typically be light tan in colour (below, right). Lion’s mane mushrooms appear to benefit the heart and blood vessels in multiple ways, but studies involving humans are needed to support this. Summary Used for centuries as a general tonic and health treatment, the Lion’s Mane Mushroom (also known as Hericium Erinaceus, Yamabushitake or Satyr’s Beard) is native to China, Japan, North America and Europe. Though it was traditionally prescribed as a general restorative, its effect on the brain has always been recognized. The ability of lion’s mane mushroom to promote nerve growth and protect the brain from Alzheimer’s-related damage may explain some of its beneficial effects on brain health.

Savour it all day, every day - Mix 3 grams in hot or cold water, tea, or coffee to ignite your full potential and reap its enduring benefits. Disinformation about Lions Mane Mushroom is so wide-spread that even we have been mislead about these extracts in the past. So let's clear a few things up.

Our high-quality Lion’s mane powder is made only from the fruiting body of the mushroom and is freeze-dried within hours of being harvested. Lion’s mane is considered an endangered species in most of Europe due to over-harvesting in the wild. All our lion’s mane is grown on sustainable, organic materials. The total amount of polysaccharides should not exceed the Beta-Glucan content by more than 5%. The less the better. High levels of polysaccharides are a sign of adulteration, especially when the Beta-Glucan content is not stated. This is the most common tactic used to mislead people into buying low-quality extracts. The sign of this will be the taste and appearance - extracts with added starch tend to be sweet in taste, and a lot lighter in colour than high-quality dual extracts.
