What is A Lion’s Mane Mushroom?

Lion's Mane mushrooms are white, globe-shaped fungi identified by their long, shaggy spines, which is where the mushroom gets its name from. People eat mushrooms or take them in the form of supplements.

Lion's Mane can be found in North America and Canada. It grows on dead logs, especially in late summer and fall. The mushroom is known for its high levels of antioxidants and beta-glucans.

Benefits of Lion’s Mane Mushrooms

Although rare, the Lion’s Mane mushroom is highly sought-after because it is thought to have various health benefits that include;

Inflammation and oxidation

The Lion’s mane mushroom is rich in antioxidants which can help in fighting both inflammation and oxidation in the body. Inflammation is associated with various conditions in the body, including heart disease, autoimmune diseases and diabetes. Lion's Mane mushroom is thought to have an incredibly high antioxidant level, which makes it perfect for fighting inflammation and oxidation.

Enhanced immune function

The high amount of antioxidants may also enhance the performance and function of the immune system by reducing inflammation and preventing oxidation. The mushroom is also thought to have a protein that encourages the growth of beneficial bacterial in the gut that strengthens immunity and enhances gut health.

Cognitive health

Lion's mane mushrooms have two compounds that are thought to be behind the mushroom's ability to improve cognitive health. These compounds are hericenones and erinacines. The mushrooms are thought to protect against dementia, relieve mild symptoms of depression and anxiety, and age-related conditions like dementia.

Although existing research is mainly on animals, there is a lot of promise based on the composition of the mushroom.
