Stringy, white, and lush as a lion’s crown, the Lion’s Mane mushroom is one of the most versatile in the world. Edible and full of nutrients, Lion’s Mane has been used in medicinal teas and health supplements for thousands of years. But researchers are still finding new ways to use this fascinating fungus for all of its benefits.

Of course, Lion’s Mane is a central part of our ZHROOM Hydration Immunity Mix, providing essential neurological health support. So what exactly makes Lion’s Mane such a miraculous mushroom? Let’s dig a little deeper.

Brain Boost

There’s a reason that the Buddhist monks of antiquity put Lion’s Mane in their tea to stimulate brainpower and meditation focus. Whether they knew it or not, Lion’s Mane contains compounds that stimulate brain functionality.

Travel, for a moment, inside your own brain. The body’s intelligence center is made up of countless neurons, which communicate with each other through lightning-fast impulses. These impulses jump from one nerve ending to the next over a tiny gap called a synapse. Every time you move a muscle, speak a word, or try to remember a friend’s birthday, an impulse must jump across synapses through a long line of neurons. But without good neurological nutrients, these transmissions can become slow and sloppy. That’s what causes the scary-sounding phenomenon known as cognitive decline.

So how can we ensure quick, seamless impulses are occurring in our brains? Proper nourishment is a good starting point. Compounds like hericenones and erinacines are known for protecting high neurological function. Two compounds that just so happen to be in Lion’s Mane mushrooms.

But this isn’t all hypothetical. Animal tests provide credence to the theory that the compounds in Lion’s Mane support nerve impulse transmission, which in turn boosts short and long-term memory. And a human study out of Japan prescribed adults with mild memory problems with Lion’s Mane mushroom powder. Subsequently, the subjects who took the mushroom powder scored better on a brain function test than those who did not (scores which worsened when they ended consumption of Lion’s Mane).

A Whole Mood

Lion’s Mane has also proven capable of lifting one’s mood and bolstering mental health. As animal studies have demonstrated, Lion’s Mane supports healthy neuron production in the hippocampus—the part of the brain that regulates emotion. As a result, Lion’s Mane can stimulate a positive mood and relieve stress.

In addition to its cognitive benefits, Lion’s Mane has been utilized for a variety of other health purposes. The mushroom has been used to support immunity, heart health, digestive health, blood sugar balance, and inflammation response. It’s no wonder Lion’s Mane is one of six adaptogenic mushrooms found in the ZHROOM Hydration Immunity Mix.

So go ahead, order your mix today, and start feeling the difference within your mind.
