Of course, no high heat or radiation was used during production. What you see is what you get: Lions Mane powder in its purest form. The powder is easy to use in smoothies or juices. Or perhaps even tastiest, with some warm water as an instant tonic tea.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;"><span>Lion's Mane</span> : Traditional Mushroom from Asia</span></h4> <p>Anyone who is actively involved in health has probably heard of the mushrooms Chaga and Reishi. A mushroom that is increasingly mentioned in the same breath as these two mushrooms is the <span>Lion's Mane</span> (botanical name: Hericium erinaceus). This mushroom has been used for centuries and originates from Asia, where it was traditionally used by Buddhist monks. But the mushroom has also been found in North America and Europe for centuries, where it mainly grows on beech trees and sometimes on oak trees.</p> <p>The first thing that stands out for many people about <span>Lion's Mane</span> is the name: it does not suggest that it is a healthy mushroom. The mushroom owes its common name mainly to its appearance. The shape in which the mushroom grows is remarkable and is somewhat reminiscent of the impressive mane of male lions. In the Netherlands, the mushroom is therefore also called 'wig mushroom'.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">The Unique Properties of <span>Lion's Mane</span></span></h4> <p>Mushrooms are often used in Asia only as a tonic herbal remedy. This is not the case with <span>Lion's Mane</span> . Due to the relatively high protein content (up to 20%), it was used in Chinese cuisine as a source of protein and nowadays even as a meat substitute. But this high protein content is of course not the only thing that makes this white mushroom so incredibly unique. It is also a source of a number of special substances. For example, like many other tonic mushrooms, it contains a high level of non-linear polysaccharides. To date, no fewer than thirty-five different polysaccharides have been extracted from <span>lion's mane</span> . The most important polysaccharides fall under the beta-glucans (<span style="color:#78509a;"><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13197-015-1826-z" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>source</u></a></span>). These are also found in many other mushrooms, such as Chaga and Reishi. What makes <span>Lion's Mane</span> truly unique is the high concentration of the substances hericenones and erinacines (<span style="color:#78509a;"><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/240235316_Hericenones_and_erinacines_Stimulators_of_nerve_growth_factor_NGF_biosynthesis_in_Hericium_erinaceus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>source</u></a></span>). Scientific research suggests that these two substances have a powerful function in our body: they are able to stimulate our own production of NGF (<u><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/240235316_Hericenones_and_erinacines_Stimulators_of_nerve_growth_factor_NGF_biosynthesis_in_Hericium_erinaceus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">source</a></u>).</p> <p>Also check out our <span style="text-decoration:underline;color:#78509a;"><a style="color:#78509a;text-decoration:underline;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/products/chaga-poeder/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chaga powder</a></span>or<span style="text-decoration:underline;color:#78509a;"><a style="color:#78509a;text-decoration:underline;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/products/reishi-poeder/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reishi powder</a></span>.</p>
