Product Notes:
MycoSynergy Fermented Mushrooms - Memory & Brain Support
As you can learn in more detail in these videos, Lion's Mane mushroom is being widely heralded for its ability to stimulate the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF), which may not only help improve one's mood, memory, speech, comprehension, and/or concentration processes in the brain, but also help repair the gut lining. And thanks largely to their complex carbohydrates, Lion's Mane can also benefit both the overall collection of microbiota in the gut -- both in its original form and especially when enhanced with probiotics and postbiotics (compounds produced from probiotics metabolizing things like the fibre in mushrooms) like this -- AND the immune system (which largely resides in the gut).
This formulation contains at least 40% polysaccharides / complex carbohydrates, at least three quarters of which are beta-glucans, which are known for their immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties.
The mushrooms Living Alchemy uses for the individual types are the tops or fruiting bodies of non-GMO, certified organic mushrooms grown in the traditional way, on wood (either on tree stumps, in the wild, or on hardwood sawdust, for commercial growers), unlike some companies which use mainly the roots grown on cereal grains such as rice as the substrate, which ends up contributing much of their actual content.
They also avoid the use of fillers or flow agents such as magnesium stearate, with the only other ingredient being the actual capsule material, which is derived from tapioca starch.
