For mental focus, well-being and a nootropic. 120 capsules x 1500mg

The mighty mushroom is becoming an increasingly popular nootropic supplement. Regally named, the lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) is one of the most well-known and widely used edible mushrooms you’ll find.

And it deserves a proper introduction. Native to North America, Europe and Asia, the beautifully formed head of a lion’s mane mushroom has been enjoyed as a food for decades. It’s also been used in traditional Chinese medicine and more recently as a supplement in Western culture. When you see a cluster growing in all its glory, the name becomes clear.

Time for some science. When taking mushrooms as supplements, here’s what to look out for. First are the active components called polysaccharides, which are found in the cell walls of fungi. Beta-glucans, the most well-known fungal polysaccharide, are a soluble fibre broken down in the intestines.

Our Lions Mane capsules provide the equivalent of 1500mg Lions Mane Mushroom alongside acerola vitamin C on a bed of alfalfa. Black pepper is added to aid absorption in the body.

Lions Mane mushroom capsules provide 30% Polysaccharides and are used commonly to support mental wellness.

Acerola Cherry provides 12.75mg of vitamin C in each one capsule serving to enable the use of the following EFSA Health Claims available:
