Lion's Mane
Lion's Mane
To honour the potency of Lion's Mane is to honour the importance of our brain. Lion's Mane is powerful. Think cognitive health.
The Brain & Neurons
The brain is a matrix of neurons. Strong, healthy neuron connections, including the successful growth and repair of damaged neurons, contribute to the brains capacity to function well. The stronger the matrix, the stronger the brain activity including thought processes and clarity.
A nootropic and adaptogenic mushroom, Lion's Mane has unique compounds helping the resilience of the brain and its network of neurons.
Lions Mane stimulates the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a significant protein allowing for the growth, repair, and strengthening of neurons. This leads to an observable increase in brain function. When applied to our lives, we can experience increased mental clarity and presence (and a lot more): the effectiveness of our neural network is an essential part of our reality, when our brain health is functioning well we experience great cognitive function, memory, and nerve regeneration.
Used for centuries in Traditional Chinese and Japanese Medicine, Lion’s Mane is one of nature’s most potent allies for brain health with its offering of neuro-protective benefits, mood support, and long-term mental clarity.
With some scientists describing it as a natural adderal, Lion's Mane's unique properties are due to its production of erinacines and hericenones which have strong anti-bacterial properties and are key in the stimulation and generation of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF).
Your Body's Natural Intelligence
Your brain is designed to learn, adapt, and regenerate throughout your life. Lion’s Mane supports this natural intelligence:
- Sharper focus and mental clarity
- Stronger memory and cognitive function
- Better nervous system recovery and resilience
By aligning with nature’s wisdom, you empower your mind and body to function at their highest potential.
Key Benefits
- enhance memory, focus & cognitive function
- mental clarity
- clears brain fog and improves cognitive fatigue
- supports recovery from nerve damage or neurological conditions
- naturally supports emotional well-being & stress resilience
- long-term brain health & neuro-protection
- prevents dementia by improving neuron re-generation (Mori et al., 2009)
Deeper Dive into the Benefits
- Memory & Cognitive Function: Lion’s Mane supports brain plasticity, memory recall, and focus, making it a natural ally for students, professionals, and anyone looking to optimise mental performance.
- Nerve Growth & Brain Regeneration: This mushroom stimulates NGF (Nerve Growth Factor), which helps regenerate neurons, protect against neurodegeneration, and support long-term brain health.
- Mood, Emotional Well-Being & Stress Resilience: Studies suggest Lion’s Mane can reduce anxiety and depression-like symptoms by supporting the brain’s ability to regulate mood and repair stress-related damage.
- Cognitive Decline & Neuro-degeneration: Emerging research suggests that Lion’s Mane may help protect against Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, and other neurodegenerative conditions by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain.
- Nervous System Repair & Recovery: By promoting nerve regeneration, Lion’s Mane may help accelerate healing from nerve damage, spinal injuries, or neuro-inflammation, supporting full-body resilience.
- Gut Health & Immunity: With its natural prebiotic properties, Lion’s Mane supports a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for immune function and brain health (the gut-brain connection).
- Oxidative Stress & Inflammation: Rich in antioxidants, Lion’s Mane helps protect cells from oxidative damage, supporting longevity and overall wellness.
Take notice: Lion's Mane has natural compounds that could interact with the compounds in pharmaceutical medication. Do not take Lion's Mane if you are on any pharmaceutical medication or have an allergy to mushrooms.
Tune into your body
True cognitive health isn’t just about taking a supplement—it’s about nourishing your brain with the right foods, thoughts, and habits. Lion’s Mane is a powerful ally for mental clarity and nerve regeneration, but your mind and body are the true healers. When you make intentional choices that support brain function, you unlock your full potential for focus, learning, and well-being.

The responsibility for your health choices rests with you, and we honour your role as the expert of your own body.
Elevate Your Mind
Incorporating Lion’s Mane into your daily routine can be a powerful way to support cognitive function, nerve regeneration, and long-term brain health. When you align with nature, you give your mind the tools to evolve, adapt, and thrive.

NGF has been linked to the improvement of various health issues including:
Dementia / Alzheimer's Disease
Patients with dementia have lower than normal levels of NGF. When supplemented with Lion's Mane, studies have demonstrated improvements in functional capacity (communication and memory, etc), functional independence (eating, dressing, walking), and cognitive function.
Neuropathy & Nerve Damage
Lion's Mane has been beneficial for nerve pain including helping with faster regrowth of nerves after traumatic injury.
Menopausal Syndrome
NGF has been shown to have a calming effect and has been found to contribute to significant improvements in sleep-disturbance, anxiety, and hot flushes.
