Pictured to the right is one species of Lion’s Mane mushroom, it is as beautiful as it is powerful for it's medicinal qualities. It is an ancient Chinese Mushroom that has been revered for centuries and is now developing quite a stir in the natural health world.

When ingested, Lion’s Mane increases the amount of NGF in the brain, enhancing cognitive capabilities via the reduction of inflammation, aiding neural growth, and the improvement of complete brain health.
But it has even greater potentials as it is also a neuroprotectant that is useful in the treatment many varied conditions from cardiovascular health to obesity and even some types of cancer.

As such ingestion of Lions Mane can enhance nerve regeneration with great impacts in managing current conditions such as alzheimer’s, dementia, senility, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s Disease, and several other neurological problems. It even has impact on depression, anxiety and stomach issues, but that's not all... other properties are antibacterial and anti-inflammatory affects, blood sugar regulation and even boosting the immune system.
