Lions Mane AKA “The Student Mushroom”, is believed to work with the central nervous system and support healthy brain functions, like mental clarity, memory and cognitive focus. Some studies have identified a Nerve Growth Factor in Lion's Mane leading to an interest in its potential for promoting neurogenesis.

Our farm partners have been growing and extracting mushrooms for 40+ years and mushroom powders simply do not get any better then this. In addition to taking steps to ensure purity and a high constituent content, we are also concerned about providing mushroom products in which the constituents are in a bioavailable form. The main constituents of mushrooms, the 1,3-Beta Glucans, are tightly bound to the cell walls and have a low degree of bioavailability in raw mushrooms.

To overcome this and increase the bioavailability of the constituents, all of our mushrooms undergo a steam activation process that breaks down the cell walls and frees the 1,3-Beta Glucans from the chitin.
