ABOUT

Combination capsules intended to help boost mood and cognitive function whilst supporting overall health.

Lion’s Mane is a medicinal mushroom that has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to its extensive vitamin and mineral content, this mushroom also contains highly beneficial compounds such as erinacines, erinaceolactones, and specific glycoproteins and polysaccharides.

This mushroom has been clinically proven to help with a variety of health issues, including Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, depression, high cholesterol, and chronic inflammation. Lion’s mane is also said to strengthen the immune system, stimulate digestion, and protect against cancer. (source)

Lion’s Mane is a nootropic known to assist with NGF (nerve growth factor) production. Coined as the “smart mushroom” by mycologist Paul Stamets, the fruiting body of Lion’s Mane contains a molecule called hericenones which when consumed pass through the brain-barrier and stimulate the release of NGF, having a potential protective and regenerative effect on the central and peripheral nervous system. NGF is known to decline as we age, and keeping levels of NGF up has important implications for neuron health and cognitive function.

Most Lion’s Mane supplements are grown in China and low in fruiting body content, but ours is organically homegrown here in Norfolk and contains 100% organic high quality fruiting body.

 

Maca root is a highly nutritious root filled with a rare blend of vitamins and minerals including vitamin c, copper, iron, potassium and manganese. It is also high in iodine, an essential trace mineral that supports thyroid health and can be lacking in plantbased diets.

As an adaptogen, Maca is believed to bring balance, support endocrine function, and help the body deal with stressors. It is also thought to boost energy and exercise performance, act as an aphrodisiac and improve male sperm quality, ease symptoms of menopause (including hot flashes and disrupted sleep), and enhance mood by reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

This ancient superfood has been used by the people of the high altitude Andes regions of Peru and Bolivia for centuries, thought to have been the first to domesticate it over 2000 years ago. As well as a food source, it was used as a ceremonial offering in traditional sacred rites, as currency, and as medicine to improve overall health in both animals and people.
