Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of many active compounds in cannabis. It’s non-psychoactive, unlike its counterpart tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This means that CBD does not cause a “high.”

Cannabis-derived CBD products may be more effective than those from hemp, but industrial hemp-derived CBD still provides many health benefits.

Lion's Mane (Lat. Hericium Erinaceus, lit. Ežinis Trapiadyglis) is an edible mushroom that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a long time. Lion's mane "cousin" Korališkais Trapiadyglis grows in Lithuania (protected, recorded in the Lithuanian red book). The white mushroom resembles a lion's mane, which is why it was named after this animal.

Today, it is increasingly used in the US and Europe as a food supplement. It is highly valued for its culinary properties. Erinacins, especially Erinacin A (found in the mycelium) and Hericenon (found in the fruiting body), are currently under intense research around the world to determine the nootropic properties and uses of these substances. Lion's mane is one of the most actively researched mushrooms today.

This natural product can be useful for people who do intensive mental work and are studying.

About lion's mane mushroom powder

Dried Lion's mane mushrooms are ground in a special industrial way (superfine grinding) until practically in the form of dust, you can read more about the differences in the superfine grinding process here.

This breaks down chitin, releasing a wide range of beneficial substances. Chitin is the main building material of the cell walls of fungi, which is also the skeleton of arthropods. If the chitin molecule is not broken down, useful substances remain "closed" in the cell and are removed from the body during digestion. Chitin can also be broken down by thermal treatment of mushrooms: by boiling, frying or freezing them, but the percentage of chitin broken down in this way is very small, so if you decide to use mushrooms as a food supplement, you should eat an impossible amount of them.

In addition, lion's mane mushroom powder is vacuum-dried with constant agitation, thus further disrupting the mushroom cell walls, increasing the bioavailability of intracellular substances.

This natural product can be useful for people who do intensive mental work and are studying.

What is the best way to prepare and use Lion's mane powder?

1. Add Lion's mane mushroom powder to the glass (if you have not used functional mushrooms before, we recommend reducing the dosage by half for the first two days so that the body gets familiar with functional mushrooms). Add water to taste, about 1/2-1 cup. If the taste is intense, add more water.

2. Lions mane powder is poured with very warm water at a temperature of 50-70°C. Better too cool than too hot, the materiality curves drop sharply above 70°C. Dried Lion's mane is not the most delicious mushroom, so if you still find the taste unacceptable, you can add honey or mushroom powder to a cup of coffee or other warm drink. The powder is absorbed quite effectively with various cocktails (especially fermented ones).

3. Wait a few minutes and drink while stirring. The powder is not completely soluble in water. It is recommended to drink in the first half of the day, before the most mentally intensive period, such as an important meeting, work, or exams. When taken in the evening, Lion's can disturb my sleep, often people share more intense and vivid dreams :)
