REISHI + LION’S MANE formula properties

Both Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) and Hericium erinaceus (Lion’s mane) have been used for centuries in traditional medicine of Asia and South America. The properties of Reishi were so highly valued that it became an attribute of the Indian goddess of mercy and the Chinese goddess of healers. Sometimes, it was even called “the mushroom of immortality”! Indeed, results of modern research have shown that Ganoderma lucidum contains more active compounds than any other herb or mushroom. Most of them are polysaccharides that strengthen the immune system, but it is also worth mentioning amino acids, mineral salts and active triterpenoids that support the work of the liver and the nervous system.

It is actually the nervous system where this synergistic composition brings the most valuable effects. Lion’s mane, combined with Reishi, shields neurons from harmful factors and promotes the process of new neural cells development. What is more, it stimulates the activity of neurotransmitters responsible for efficient information processing and memory – acetylcholine and GABA. In this way, it positively influences our learning capacity. Additionally, it protects the brain from the build-up of harmful beta-amyloid deposits that could damage the delicate structures of neurons. Noteworthy, Reishi might even increase resilience towards chronic stress by regulating the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and its specific hormones.

The synergistic composition REISHI + LION’S MANE works best as a support for the proper functioning of the nervous system. It has a multidirectional, beneficial influence on the condition of the brain. On one hand, it supports the development of new neural cells while simultaneously enhancing regenerative processes within neurons. On top of these effects, it stimulates the production of acetylcholine – a neurotransmitter which directly affects the quality of our cognitive performance. Last but not least, Lion’s Mane in combination with Reishi protects both the body and the entire nervous system from factors that could disturb their proper functioning.
