Shaman’s Sharp Mind

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a relatively rare mushroom that grows mainly on damaged trunks of deciduous trees, most commonly oak and beech. It received its name due to its characteristic “hairy” appearance, which resembles a sea coral more than a typical mushroom. Because of its look, it is also known as Lion’s Mane, Hedgehog Mushroom, or Old Man’s Beard. In Japan, it is referred to as Yamabushitake.

It naturally occurs primarily in Asia and North America, but it can also be found in Europe, although much less frequently. In China, it has even found its place in cuisine, especially in vegetarian dishes where it is used as a meat alternative. In the past, this mushroom was considered so valuable that it was reserved mainly for nobility and royal families.

What makes Lion’s Mane interesting? It stands out mainly for its content of polysaccharides, such as beta-glucans, and it also contains amino acids, proteins, vitamins B and D, as well as important minerals including potassium, zinc, and iron.

Usage and Dosage

During the first week, we recommend taking 1 capsule of the extract daily, after which the dose can be increased to 2 capsules per day. Take the capsule with a sufficient amount of water, ideally on an empty stomach approximately 20 minutes before breakfast.
