Lion's Mane is a white, shaggy mushroom that resembles a lion's mane as it grows. Also known as the bearded tooth mushroom, it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries.
What makes Lion's Mane unique is its ability to stimulate the synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor, a protein crucial for the maintenance, survival and regeneration of neurons. This is why it's become known as nature's nootropic.
Modern research validates what traditional practitioners have known for generations. Studies show Lion's Mane may support cognitive function, memory, focus and mental clarity. It's particularly interesting for its potential neuroprotective properties.
The active compounds, hericenones and erinacines, are found in the fruiting body and mycelium respectively. These compounds can cross the blood brain barrier, which is rare and significant for cognitive support.
GUUDIES uses a 20:1 concentrated extract from the fruiting body, meaning each 50mg dose delivers 1,000mg equivalent of raw Lion's Mane, with standardised levels of active compounds.
