LION'S MANE EXTRACT

#nootropic supplement in the form of lion's mane extract. From mycelial development, mushroom cultivation to herbal preparation.

What does nootropic mean? Nootropic is the name for a group of supplements, drugs and other substances that are said to play a role in improving cognitive functions, especially focus, memory, creativity and motivation in healthy people. For what purposes is the Lion's Mane used? Research is being done on the effects of the lion's mane in the area of ​​various diseases such as MS, Alzheimer's. Namely, NFG or "nerve growth factor" is associated with the lion's mane, which means "nerve growth factor", which refers to the renewal and growth of nerve cells. In addition, this fungus is in the field of "nootropics" because it has a positive effect on cognitive abilities such as memory, focus, etc. There is also motivation and generally better mood that can be influenced. Of course, due to its immunomodulatory effect, as with other fungi, it is good for balancing the body's work and preventing some diseases such as gastritis, blood pressure, digestion, etc. Since the fungus is less researched in a scientific sense, more time is needed to crystallize all its benefits and effects. You can see something more in the work of Paul Stamets. Many patients suffering from nervous problems and diseases of the nervous system find help in lion's mane extracts as a supplement or dietary supplement. Not to forget that the basic therapy must not be replaced without an agreement with the doctor. What exactly is lion mane extract? The difference between mushroom powder and extract is that the latter is made by a decoction / boiling process, so it is called an aqueous extract, and then reduced to powder by dehydration. Its bioavailability is higher, i.e. what is released from the solid structures of the fungus by extraction is more easily absorbed in our digestive tract, for example beta glucans. Unlike the powder of only dried mushrooms, the extract on the other hand is a concentrated powder and is dosed in smaller quantities. What many herbalists point out is that we must not neglect the importance of indigestible substances (solid 'chitini' structures that we fail to break down) that are not absorbed in the digestive tract but end up as food for 'good' bacteria in the gut flora because they improve digestion. The fact is that a healthy intestinal flora has a positive effect on the brain. (See vagus nerve for more) For this reason, we have 100% fungus present in the extract, which remains part of the powder after extraction. Namely, we wanted to avoid putting other agents and get the full potential of this mushroom. #nootropics #lionsmane #medicinskegljive
