Forest Superfoods Lions Mane Mushroom

It's no surprise that Lion's Mane medicinal mushrooms have become so popular in Australia; they have so many benefits for the immune system and the brain. Yet did you know that virtually all are imported from China and can contain dangerously high levels of lead and other toxins?

More than ever, people are starting to really pay attention to not only what goes into their bodies - but where it comes from.

Eating locally, seasonally and as organic as possible is what we focus on. And it's easy when you've got great transparent companies that produce wonderful superfoods!

So what is Lions Mane?

Lion’s Mane is reputed to be of benefit for:

• Relieving mild depression and anxiety
• Helping the body fight brain-related diseases such as Alzheimer's
• Repair nerve damage
• Protect against tumours

Some Scientific Research

Lion’s Mane for nerve damage: Research shows that rats who were given Lion’s Mane daily recovered significantly faster from nerve damage than those that weren’t given Lion’s Mane (read the study).

Another study also found that Lion’s Mane was effective in repairing nerve damage in rats (read the study)

Lion’s Mane for tumors: A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that extracts made from Lion’s Mane had a significant effect in reducing the size of cancerous tumors (read the study).

Lion’s Mane, is capable of fortifying the spleen and nourishing the stomach, tranquilizing the mind, and fighting cancer.

– Quote from a scientific study published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules

The dried Lion’s Mane can be brewed into tea, used in cooking or eaten as is.
