The king of the edible forest, our Lion’s Mane Mushroom Powder is a natural nootropic used to promote mood, memory, mental clarity and immunity.

  • Australian grown – we grow our lion’s mane on our off-grid farm in Gippsland, Victoria.
  • Sustainably harvested – our lion’s mane is grown using nothing but organic waste materials, fresh air and water.
  • Hot water extracted – our lion’s mane is extracted using hot water, making the medicinal qualities available for your body to use.

Think of lion’s mane as the “brain food” of the fungi kingdom. Found growing on dead or decaying hardwood, lion’s mane has a truly unique appearance with its shaggy, icicle-like spines (can you see how it gets called old man’s beard?)

As a natural nootropic (AKA smart drug), lion's mane mushroom is widely recognised for its cognitive-enhancing properties, with the ability to enhance memory and improve brain function. It's also loaded with Beta-Glucans which can have positive effects on the immune system and overall health.

FAQs

What is hot water extraction?

When we eat mushrooms in their raw form, the medicinal compounds are hard for the body to digest. By putting mushrooms through a hot water extraction process, it breaks down their nutrients making them more available for your body to use. We wrote an article about it here: mushroom powder vs extract.

 

What is myceliated brown rice and why is it in my Lion’s Mane Powder?

If we liken mushrooms to plants, mycelium is like the underground root system (and the mushroom itself is like the flower). So, when mushrooms are grown in a farming environment, this root system needs something to feed on to give the mushroom nutrients (enter, brown rice). We choose to use brown rice as new research suggests that the combination of mycelium, brown rice and mushroom fruit body fruit body have greater medicinal benefits. The fermented brown rice is also loaded with goodness. So much so, we wrote a whole article on it: the health benefits of mycelium.  

 

Are there any side effects of lion’s mane mushroom?

Lion’s mane is considered a safe mushroom to use in your diet with side effects being rare and minor. But as with anything, it’s best to consult your doctor or medical practitioner before incorporating lion’s mane into your diet.

 

Can children and pregnant women use lion’s mane mushroom?

We’re mushroom farmers, not doctors. So, health advice isn’t our area of expertise. If you’re an expecting mother or have children, it’s best to consult your doctor before using lion’s mane supplements in your diet.

I trust research on Lions Mane for maintaining a healthy brain so take powder or drops from Natura almost every day. Genetically, I'm at risk of dementia so choose everything in my power to stay well.

Your anxious message to rate your product, Lion's Mane, only a week after receiving it has rung alarm bells in my head. Few medical products, natural or mainstream, will have any effect at all after such a short space of time. Therefore instead of confirming my interest in your mushroom powders, has started to alert me to the possibility that they don't work. Other wise why should seek comments so early! Sincerely John Ball
