Lion's Mane mushroom is possibly the most popular functional mushroom in the world right now thanks to it's reputation for potentially improving brain function, boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, and combating anxiety & depression.
Scientific studies are still in their infancy and more research is required for conclusive evidence, however here's a list of potential health benefits that Lion's Mane may offer:
It is thought that Lion's Mane may help to generate new nerve growth in the brain and could protect against Alzheimer's disease. One study showed that Lion's Mane improved cognitive ability in people with mild Alzheimer's disease [1]. Other studies suggest Lion's Mane could improve memory and reduce neuronal damage caused by Alzheimer's disease [2, 3]. Anecdotally, many people who take Lion's Mane also report feeling higher levels of focus and better memory.
The erinacine and hericenone compounds in Lion's mane are believed to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which promotes new nerve growth and maintenance of nerve cells. Research has shown that Lion's Mane extract may help speed recovery from nervous system injuries by stimulating the growth and repair of nerve cells [4, 5].
Lion's Mane is rich in bioactive compounds that may have anti-inflammatory properties [6]. Several studies have found that lion’s mane extract can reduce markers of inflammation and oxidative stress [7, 8, 9]
Some research suggests that Lion's Mane may reduce anxiety and depression [10, 11, 12]. Researchers believe this effect could be caused by improved functioning in the hippocampus, a region of the brain linked to depression, and which Lion's Mane has been shown to increase the functioning of [13].

Fantastic product highly recommended! I’ve been taking both Lions Mane and Vital 5 tinctures for 4 months now and I am really noticing the effects, my mental health has significantly improved and I am more focused yet have the energy to carry out my daily tasks and more! I have now set up the subscription service for both tinctures and yes it’s £51 a month but it’s worth every penny for how I feel! Well worth a try if you’re thinking about it 🙏✌️❤️

Store owner replied: Hi John, thanks for posting this review and super to read you're feeling benefits from your MycoTonics extract!
I’ve been taking two drops of Vital 5 and Lions Mane for approximately 3 weeks now and I’m sure it’s really working! I was diagnosed with bipolar and OCD as a youngster and managed to come off of pharmaceutical medication around 8 years ago, it has been a struggle, but with my self education and the use of beer/ cannabis I have got through, I’ve been more existing rather than living. I am pleased to say that I have not felt the need to drink alcohol or smoke cannabis since I have been taking both of the tinctures and my production levels have gone through the roof! I’m getting so many jobs done, that have been building up around the house and my garden/allotment, and the best thing so far is that I’m doing it with such a calm mind instead of going manic or feeling depressed! I am also able to concentrate more generally and when meditating and my mind is not racing as much as it has, my sleeping has also improved tenfold! I would highly recommend these products to anyone and have already got my mum and dad some lions mane tincture, also a friend. Thank you ever so much for producing these products and I hope you reach out to more people, giving them other options to pharmaceutical medications and recreational drugs, I can’t express in words how grateful I am! Kindest regards, Mikey 🙏✌️❤️

Store owner replied: Wow! That's wonderful to hear Mikey 🙌 These mushrooms are truly powerful things! Really pleased to hear they are having such a beneficial impact ☺️
This batch seems lighter in colour than all the bottles I've had before, and there's a stronger-than-normal taste of alcohol.
Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract Supplement (50ml)
Store owner replied: Hi Steve, thanks for your feedback - I just wanted to reach out to apologise and explain what happened here with your Lion's Mane extract. Before Christmas, we ran out of stock of our Lion's Mane extract and we trialled a new method of making our extracts which involves a pressurised extraction process. This contained exactly the same ingredients and quantities as our usual recipe, but the process happens under pressure for a shorter period of time and gets filtered at the end. The resulting extract contains all the usual beneficial beta glucans, erinacines and hericenones - but is lighter in colour (due to the filtration) and has a much stronger alcohol taste (due to less time steeping in the alcohol). Following your feedback (and our own taste buds being in agreement!), we will go back to our long and slow extraction process for all future batches, as the taste is definitely much nicer when made that way. I just wanted to reach out and explain the difference to you and to let you know that by the time your next monthly order comes around you will receive an extract made using the normal long and slow method. If you would like a refund on the one recently sent to you in January, or perhaps to swap it for a bottle of our popular Vital 5, then please let us know and we'll take care of it. Kind regards, Adam
Really impressed with the Lion’s Mane tincture, . After taking it daily it really helps with memory!
I have been taking Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract for a couple of weeks now, and I truly have been pleasantly surprised by the effects, it has really helped me week after week, after the birth of my son last year, I have been finding it difficult to concentrate for long periods and have had a sort of brain fog, taking Lions Mane has helped to overcome a lot of that, I simply pop a measure into my coffee every morning and the fact that it is organic and only made from 2 ingredients, lions mane mushrooms and devon spring water, let alone its grown and bottled in devon, its ideal, definitely give it a go!
I thought I’d give it a couple of weeks before writing this review to see what benefits there are in taking the lions main. I have noticed an overall feeling of clarity but also it feels to have added an hour or so of productivity to my day. Perfect when self employed.
My husband and I have been taking this supplement for the last month and we are definitely starting to feel the health benefits. It’s so easy to take, especially great if you don’t like taking tablets. I was a little unsure on the taste so I just add it to my morning cup of tea and don’t notice it at all! I would definitely recommend this healthy addition to your day!
I am enjoying taking a few squeeze of this every morning in my coffee. I've been using the lions mane for about 2-3 weeks but unsure if it's having the desired impact (improving cognitive ability and reducing anxiety). Will keep taking it because I like the idea of having more fungi in my diet and on the whole I am feeling pretty good.
I tried the sample you sent, and stopped the other mushroom tincture so what I experienced could only be about the Lions Mane. I does give a lift. I didn't experience a drop off like you can get with caffeine. I have bought a bottle for my daughter who is mothering a very lively toddler and am waiting to see if she finds it helpful.
Great product. I use it in my coffee everyday
Overall all good

It's rather too early to comment, but great team to deal with.
Third order and same standard of excellence each time, both in the ordering, delivery time, condition of product and their beneficial effects. This time we have a mushroom kit too and I can't wait to eat home-grown mushrooms!

Suddenly ran out...ordered more...came in 2 days.
I like the products.
Love the stuff! Will be a life time customer with this one for sure 😊👍🏽
Great product, efficient delivery. Thank you.
I saw a difference in just a week! The only thing stopping it from being a 5 star is that the dropper has no measurements to know how much you are taking
Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract Supplement (50ml)
Store owner replied: Thanks for your kind feedback Joana! Glad you are feeling the benefit :-) Apologies about the lack of scale on the dropper - the last batch of lids was missing this. A full dropper's worth is 1ml.
Great stuff!
Has really helped with my mental clarity. A friend recommended this and it really does help. I notice if I forget to take it!

Great flavour. Impact on my memory - too early to say, though a lot of my friend say that the impact has been dramatic for them.
Probably one of the best Lion’s mane products I’ve used so far, great results!
Love the stuff!
I have really enjoyed lions mane and can feel the benefits by the way of brain function. I would, however like to change my subscription as I’m not getting through it fast enough. How can I do this please? Many thanks, Laura

I tried it for a month. I didn't notice any changes so for me it was a waste of money
Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract Supplement (50ml)
Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear that you didn't notice any changes. Our medicinal mushroom extract is made from high-quality ingredients and many customers do experience positive results, although individual responses can vary. We appreciate your feedback and hope you might consider trying it again in the future.
After just 2 weeks of taking the Lion’s Mane tincture, I have noticed improvements in my sleep patterns and my ability to focus. These improvements have been coupled with a marked sense of feeling more grounded and calm. I definitely recommend people try it for themselves.
I like the product, taste is ok even neat.
