Lions Mane (Hericium erinaceus)

Summary

 A dynamic functional mushroom for enhancing mental function and clarity, regeneration of brain cells, gut health, and overall mind and body harmony.

Lion's Mane mushroom has been used for thousands of years in Eastern medicine and contains several bioactive compounds hericenones and erinacines that are known agents that can stimulate the growth of nerve cells, this is called Nerve Growth Factor [NGF]. Lion's Mane also supports an anti-inflammatory effect as well. This combination results in a variety of cognitive supporting benefits and protection against Alzheimer's, and dementia and preventing memory loss. Lion's Mane is also effective for sharpening mental clarity, focus, and concentration as well as healing mild neurological impairment due to injury. Studies also suggest that depression, anxiety, and irritation can be lessened when taking Lion's Mane.

AFA Blue Green Algae is a cognitive health, mood, and neurological nutrient powerhouse because of its complete and 97% bioavailable nutritional profile. AFA is perfectly balanced with over 100+ micronutrients working in harmony.

The 20 amino acids include powerful mood-boosting tryptophan and phenylalanine as well as an array of essential fatty acids that lubricate the brain cells for optimal functioning. The brain-boosting effects of AFA are probably one of the more noticeable benefits most people can feel after weeks of starting a regular AFA program To learn more
