Hericium erinaceus (lion’s mane mushroom)

Hericium erinaceus, or lion’s mane mushroom, is an exceptionally tasty and highly prized edible and medicinal mushroom. It grows on the wood of fallen trees, primarily in the northern hemisphere (Europe, East Asia, North America). It has a distinctive shape and texture, reminiscent of a beard or even a lion’s mane. In traditional culture, it is highly prized for its properties and is referred to as “Natural food for neurons”.

The lion’s mane mushroom has a long-standing tradition in traditional Chinese medicine and is an extremely valued mushroom.

In powder form, Hericium erinaceus contains many nutrients. In this form, our body can utilise them effectively. Its beneficial effects have also been scientifically proven.

The cultivation of our Hericium erinaceus is strictly monitored, free from chemicals or pesticides, and 100% organic.

What does it contain and who is it intended for?

The active components of the Hericium erinaceus mushroom include beta-glucans, which are typical of mushrooms. The so-called HEP3 is one of the more pharmacologically interesting 1-3D-beta-glucans. The mushroom also contains polysaccharides and polypeptides, as well as phytosterols such as beta-sitosterol and ergosterol, essential minerals and trace elements (Zn, Fe, Se, Ge, etc.), niacin, biotin and vitamin D.

Due to its high-quality amino acid composition, the lion’s mane mushroom has the highest biological value compared to other edible mushrooms (button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and shiitake) and is therefore a high-quality meat substitute in a vegetarian diet.

All the elements in the mushroom are present in large quantities and have a very positive effect on our bodies.

And what is extremely important here is that Hericium erinaceus is a 100% natural product.

Why mushrooms in particular?

Mushrooms are very interesting. They are neither plants nor animals; what they are, however, are certainly incredible organisms that have managed to survive practically since the beginning of the world. They have developed a unique survival strategy that has sustained them to this day. We humans can also benefit from their unique properties by incorporating them into our diet. They bring balance to our bodies, contribute to our general well-being and protect us from numerous health issues.

As certain natural active compounds are indigestible or difficult for us to digest, it is very important that we consume only the very best powdered mushrooms. The mushrooms must be properly cultivated, dried and prepared. They must be ground into a fine powder without any lumps. The colour of the powder is lighter, though this also depends on the type of mushroom being used. As mushrooms are so effective precisely because they have the ability to absorb everything – both good and bad – from their environment, it is important to choose organically grown ones.
