Lion's Mane

Lion's Mane Mushroom has a long history of usage in traditional Chinese medicine for its positive effects on cognitive health [1]. This mushroom is rich in bioactive components, such as beta-glucans, which are responsible for some important physiological activities [2], this includes antioxidant, anti- inflammatory activities [3, 4] and neural growth [5], improving memory and focus as well as enhancing your dreams and mood [6].

Ingredients: Lion’s Mane mushroom 10:1 Dual extract powder.

Cordyceps

Cordyceps mushroom is an extraordinary mushroom, which has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat fatigue, low libido and kidney disease [7]. More recent research of the bioactive compounds, in particular cordycepin, show to promote anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-oxidative (anti-ageing) activities [8], as well as having beneficial effects on lipid metabolism [9] and improving your endurance to prolonged and high intensity exercise [10, 11].

Ingredients: Cordyceps Militaris 10:1 Dual extract powder.

Reishi

For many millennia the Reishi mushroom has been used to treat a variety of diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and insomnia, mainly in Asian culture [12].  The Lanostane-type triterpinoids are a key constituent of the mushroom that help to enhance anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and immunomodulating activities [12, 13, 14, 15]. The mushroom is also well known for its beneficial effects on sleep and relaxation as it shows to have hypnotic/sedative type effects [16, 17].

Serving Size: 1tsp (3g) per serve, once or twice daily.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place
