Functional Mushroom Liquid Culture

Functional mushrooms are a popular subject for research of late, and for good reason! Mushrooms like Lion’s Mane and Reishi/Lingzhi are full of compounds that have functional applications. Even choice edible mushrooms like Shiitake and Oysters have been well studied for their health benefits

Lion’s Mane is thought to support digestion, concentration, alertness, attentiveness, memory and more. It has been proven to improve Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), and in at least one small study, was shown to hasten recovery from a brain injury when compared with a placebo. Research is being conducted on it’s efficacy for treating depression, anxiety, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and cognitive decline without any conclusive results, but anecdotally people who consume it’s hericenones and erinacines will rave about the perceived benefits. It has been studied for it’s effectiveness in treating dementia and cognitive decline, though clinical evidence has not proven it’s efficacy for those conditions.
