Lion’s Mane mushroom, known scientifically as Hericium Erinaceus, has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly in East Asia. Referred to as “mushroom for the mind” due the traditional belief it supported mental clarity. Ancient herbalists believed it could “awaken the spirit” and support deep, contemplative thought. Its resemblance to a lion’s mane also gave it symbolic significance, as it was thought to impart courage and strength

Traditional and Scientific Uses:

Supports healthy brain function
Supports brain fog
Supports mood

Study Insight:

Modern research on Lion’s Mane has provided scientific validation for its traditional uses, particularly in brain health. A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial suggested that supplementation with Lion’s Mane may potentially support healthy brain function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment after 8 to 16 weeks of consistent use. Another study indicated it may support mood in individuals experiencing feelings of stress and worry.
