Lion's Mane Mushrooms

Supports brain and nerve health.

A tonic for the brain and nerves, lion’s mane stimulates the synthesis of nerve growth. Hericenones and erinacines, two compounds found in Lion’s Mane, stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein that is crucial for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons.

Research suggests lion’s mane may also protect the brain against amyloid-beta buildup, a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease.

Lion’s mane mushrooms offer a mildly sweet flavor and a tender texture that mimics shellfish like scallops, crab, or lobster. For that reason, they are often turned to as an accompaniment or alternative to seafood. Try lion’s mane in a mock Crab Louie salad or as a pan seared “steak” in your next surf and turf.
