Teelixir Lion's Mane Mushroom [REVIEW]

CERTIFIED ORGANIC LION'S MANE MUSHROOM BY TEELIXIR

Hericium erinaceus, also known as the Lion's Mane mushroom, is a highly effective superfood medicinal mushroom and a popular nootropic used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). For centuries, this remarkable fungus has been valued in Asia for its health benefits. It is said to boost the immune system, enhance brain function, and soothe the nervous system. It has been used as a dietary supplement, an ingredient in culinary dishes, and brewed into a tea for its mood-enhancing properties.

TEELIXIR LION'S MANE - FULL TEST & REVIEW BY HEAD PRODUCT TESTER AMBER BENNETT

What I Love: 

The almost immediate benefits I get from it!

From the morning I started taking Lion's Mane I noticed an immediate improvement in brain function.  It feels as though it helps me to focus and think clearer along with providing a good boost of lasting, clean energy.

Lion's Mane to me is one medicinal mushroom (along with Chaga) that I don't see myself ever not taking.

*My results may not be your results, doesn't mean the Lion's Mane is not working it's magic for you too though!

It's 100% certified organic AND wood grown.

Teelixir sources their mushrooms from deep in the mountains in China. This means they are away from any cities and industrial pollution {we don't have to worry about toxins when consuming}. The mushrooms are also wood grown with no added grains, fillers, preservatives, starch, or mycelium. 

The company

I love Teelixir as a company! They are 100% committed to bringing clean, organic mushroom supplements to the market and it shows in the quality of the product.

The ease of use

When I'm able to mix something into food or drink it makes me more consistent in taking the product. Teelixir's Lion's Mane dissolves seamlessly into my morning coffee which is my preferred way to dose. I've also experimented with adding homemade chocolate and cookies with great results.

What Would Make Me Love It Even More: 

Miron glass jars! I sound like a broken record with this but my Lion's Mane has already clumped together making it a little more difficult to get my desired amount out.  This is my fault though; I struggle with closing the pop-top lid properly which allows moisture to get inside. If Teelixir would switch to glass jars it would make my life with their mushrooms a lot easier.

 Pros

• I noticed an immediate benefit in my brain function
• 100% certified organic and wood-grown mushrooms
• Love the taste, texture, and ability to easily incorporate the product into my daily life
• Authentic Di Tao Source
• Third-Party Tested and Quality Verified
• No Added Grains, Starch, Mycelium, or Fillers

Cons

• Would like to see air-tight packaging

HEALTH BENEFITS:  

This incredible mushroom has been found to enhance brain function and has been the focus of many studies in recent years. The results of these studies have been truly incredible!

One study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry lists the benefits of Lion's Mane as "antibiotic, anticarcinogenic, antidiabetic, anti-fatigue, antihypertensive, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-senescence [anti-aging], cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and neuroprotective, and improves anxiety, cognitive function, and depression."

See? Incredible.

Brain Health

Many individuals are intrigued by the potential benefits of Lion's Mane Mushroom. It has been widely researched for its ability to boost cognitive function, making it a sought-after nootropic. Numerous users have shared positive experiences, citing enhancements in focus, mental clarity, memory, and verbal fluency after taking Lion's Mane.

The cognitive benefits of this mushroom are believed to come from the active compounds hericenones and erinacines. These compounds are found in different parts of the mushroom, with hericenones in the fruiting bodies and erinacines in the mycelium.

The Lion's Mane compounds possess exceptional power in stimulating Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain, facilitating the growth and regeneration of brain cells, and creating new neural pathways. These essential processes play a significant role in promoting proper cognitive function, learning, and memory. Scientific research has demonstrated that these compounds can effectively slow down the progression of cognitive declines, such as Alzheimer's and dementia, by decreasing memory loss symptoms and preventing neuronal damage.

That's a huge deal in brain health research!

Here's the study

May be beneficial to those fighting cancer

Another exciting field of study is the use of Lion's Mane in cancer treatment. Some studies indicated that the Lion's Mane may hold promise in the treatment of cancer.

Regarding Leukemia, Lion's Mane was shown in this study to significantly reduce Leukemia cells thanks to the phytochemicals it contains.

Furthermore, studies published in the Journal of Natural Products and Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences have shown that Lion's Mane mushroom may have the potential in treating lung cancer. Even more remarkable, other research has suggested that it could also be effective against colon, breast, and other types of cancer. These findings were discovered through in vitro and animal studies published in the Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology and the Journal of Ethnopharmacology which you can read here.

Although many long-term studies are needed to zone in on what potential role Lion's Mane can provide in cancer treatment, the studies we have so far are extremely promising.

It's truly amazing what nature can offer us.

Overall mental health & well-being improvement

Lion's Mane may offer potential benefits that can improve your sleep and alleviate the effects of mental health issues. Research has shown that the powerful polysaccharides extracted from Lion's Mane may help fight fatigue, as demonstrated in mice trials. Furthermore, these compounds are capable of helping to regulate circadian rhythms, as evidenced by a study conducted at Kyushu University's Department of Agro-environmental Sciences.

Consuming Lion's Mane may also be a powerful addition to the treatment of depression and anxiety. In one study, 30 women were given either a placebo or Lion's Mane for four weeks. Researchers concluded "Our results show that Lion's Mane intake can reduce depression and anxiety and these results suggest a different mechanism from the NGF-enhancing action of H. erinaceus (Lion's Mane)."  This seems to be connected with the inflammation factor that is thought to play a contributing part in depression, as shown in mice studies.

FAQ

How Do I Take Chaga?

Teelixir recommends starting with 1/4 - 1/2 tsp (1.6g) Lions Mane mushroom powder per day. If you are sensitive to herbs, you may want to start with less. When your body feels ready, you can increase your dosage according to your daily needs. I take at least 1 teaspoon of Lion's Mane per day.  I prefer to take Lion's Mane in the AM.  You can add it to your coffee, smoothie, chai, or milk of choice, or get creative and add it to your meals when cooking or baking.

Can I Take Lion's Mane While Pregnant Or Breastfeeding?

It is always best to check with your health practitioner before taking any new herbs or supplements, especially if pregnant or breastfeeding.

How Long Will It Take Before I Notice A Difference In My Health?

Everyone's health journey is different. Some people will notice a difference within the first day or week, while others notice more subtle changes over time. The most important thing is to stay consistent and pair your supplements with a healthy lifestyle for the best results.

I have noticed a difference immediately but some people may find it takes them a little while to notice benefits. If you don't feel any difference right away, stick with it! It's working wonders whether you feel it or not.

ALTERNATIVES I THINK ARE WORTH CONSIDERING

If you're already using Lion's Mane and want to widen your supplement range - or simply try something different, check these out below:

THE BOTTOM LINE

 For me, Lion's Mane has made an incredible difference in the clarity of my thoughts, focus, and energy levels. From what I have read and heard from other people, my experience when taking Lion's Mane is not unique.  Many others have noticed amazing benefits while taking this medicinal mushroom and I believe it can benefit a wide range of our population.

I have already ordered another tin of Lion's Mane from Teelixir and will be taking it long-term to maintain the benefits I already feel.

The price point for Teelixirs Lion's Mane is great as well. I've worked it out to be about $0.80 per day if you're taking around a teaspoon. Much cheaper than a daily café coffee and many more health benefits!
