Benefits
Benefits
The potential benefits of Lion's Mane mushroom as a health supplement are often associated with cognitive support and immune enhancement.
✔️ COGNITIVE SUPPORT
Lion's Mane powder is traditionally known for helping with cognitive function, memory, and mental acuity³. They may offer potential benefits especially for senior pets, including potential support for cognitive function¹.
The traditional medicinal mushroom Lion’s Mane is recognized for its potential in supporting nerve regeneration. In a recent study, scientists uncovered new compounds in this mushroom that enhance the growth of nerve cells in the brain. Among these compounds, NDPIH stands out for its remarkable ability to stimulate the growth of intricate branches on brain cells, even in the absence of certain typical growth factors. Additionally, NDPIH appears to enhance certain brain signals. As a result, this mushroom and its compounds contribute to improved brain cell growth and memory, shedding light on a novel pathway that continues to intrigue scientists⁴.
✔️ IMMUNE-SYSTEM SUPPORT
Lion's Mane Mushroom is believed to offer promising support to the immune system. It is thought to possess qualities that can contribute to maintaining a healthy immune system². This natural remedy is widely recognized for its potential to positively influence the immune system. Researchers suggest that these mushroom extracts can enhance the immune system's functioning, and their discovery of a substance called beta-glucan in the extracts could be a key factor in this effect⁵.
Origin
Origin
Our Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Powder for dogs (Hericium Erinaceus) is a pure powder made from organic Lion's Mane mushroom fruiting body. It's dried at low temperatures and then milled, making it a non-extract product.
We source the Organic Lion's Mane mushroom powder in Slovenia and China, where this remarkable fungus has been utilised for centuries in traditional medicine.
Dosage for Dogs
Dosage for Dogs
We recommend starting with a Lion’s Mane dosage of 0.155 g (approx. 32th of a teaspoon) per 15 kg of weight for the first 3 days.
The highest dosing that we would consider appropriate for your pet would consist of a single gram of Lion’s Mane powder (1/2 tsp) for each 15 kg of body weight of your pet, per day. Although, if you’re not looking to help with a serious medical issue, half of this amount should prove sufficient for maintenance or minor issues.
