LION'S MANE
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a edible mushroom that has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine. It was coined the name 'Mountain Priest Mushroom' because it is often consumed by the monks of Japan. It has a long and very significant history of providing benefits to both the mind and the body.
Our Organic Lion's Mane is grown on logs where the fruiting body, not the mycelium, is harvested. The fruiting body is water extracted to produce a potent, 4:1 tonic powder that makes it very easy to digest. Each batch is tested for heavy metals and purity to ensure the highest quality. Consuming the fruiting body, when grown properly as nature intended, is known to have the most benefits.
