Lionsmane 10cc Liquid Culture Syringe- GOURMET/MEDICINAL (Non active)

You can find lion’s mane mushrooms in grocery stores, restaurants, and supplement shops.

Lion’s mane mushrooms have a flavor that many describe as similar to seafood. They can be eaten raw, dried, or cooked. As a supplement, the mushroom comes in powders, liquids, and capsules.

Lion’s mane mushrooms are rich in vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin. They are also a good source of essential minerals such as manganese, zinc, and potassium.

Research suggests that lion’s mane may have several health benefits.

Lion’s Mane Benefits

Lion’s mane mushrooms have been used for centuries in Chinese medicine. Lab and animal studies suggest this traditional medicine may help with many conditions. But there’s limited research in humans, and no product made from the mushrooms has been approved for the treatment of any condition.

The preliminary evidence suggests lion’s mane mushrooms might help in these ways.

Fighting inflammation and free radicals 

Many health conditions, including heart disease, arthritis, and cancer, involve chronic inflammation and the effects of unstable molecules in our bodies called free radicals. Lion’s mane mushrooms contain potentially potent antioxidants, which are substances that limit the damage of free radicals. They also contain anti-inflammatory substances that show promise in animal studies.

Fighting dementia and other brain diseases

Some studies in animals and small, preliminary studies in people suggest lion’s mane mushrooms might have a role in the prevention or treatment of cognitive decline, including Alzheimer’s disease.

For example, in one study of 30 older adults with mild cognitive impairment, those who took tablets containing Hericium erinaceus powder for 4 months showed a temporary improvement on cognitive tests. The mushrooms have also been shown to slow Alzheimer’s symptoms and brain changes linked to the disease in mice.

Reducing anxiety and depression

Lion’s mane extracts could help treat some mental health conditions. To test this possibility, a study was carried out on Japanese women with many health conditions, including menopausal symptoms and poor sleep. Some were given cookies made with lion’s mane extracts while others were given placebo cookies for 4 weeks.

The women who got the lion’s mane cookies reported lower levels of depressive symptoms and stress compared to the placebo group.

Hericenones and erinacines, two kinds of chemicals in lion’s mane mushrooms, may be responsible for any antidepressant effect, researchers believe. These chemicals affect the release of nerve growth factor (NGF), a substance that regulates the growth and survival of brain cells. Conventional antidepressant drugs may work by changing NGF levels.
