Lions Mane is one of the most incredible mushrooms in the world!
Not only is a premium gourmet culinary mushroom that has a texture like crab/chicken, but also for it's unique compounds that have been prooven to help with a variety of functions but particularly with cognition/focus.
There have been many many studies showing that people who were taking Lions Mane scored higher on cognitive tests compared to those that took the placebo as well as many other benefits. I will reference studies below

Purps Produce is one of the very few businesses you can trust. Almost ALL of the mushroom supplement companies out there don't grow any mushrooms at all, and therefore lack the expertise in the field as a whole, particularly in where they source their mushrooms from. Even worse, many of them seem to deliberately lie on their websites and packaging.
I know this because I have spent hours investigating many brands and have proof in emails that many of them are lying.

RESEARCH/STUDIES/PROOF
A 2020 study of people with mild Alzheimer's disease found that supplementation with 1 gram of lion's mane mushroom daily for 49 weeks significantly improved cognitive test scores compared to a placebo 4.
A study involving 50- to 80-year-olds with mild cognitive impairment showed that those taking lion's mane powder scored higher on cognitive tests compared to a placebo group 4.
A 2023 study found that lion's mane mushroom extract significantly improved speed of performance on the Stroop task in healthy young adults 60 minutes after a single dose 5.
Research from the University of Queensland in 2023 demonstrated that lion's mane mushroom extract promoted neuron projections and increased the size of growth cones, which are important for brain cells to establish new connections 1.
A study on mice showed that dietary supplementation with lion's mane mushroom crude extracts significantly enhanced recognition memory 2.
Lab research demonstrated that lion's mane's anti-inflammatory effects and antioxidant properties may help minimize inflammation and protect cells against damage 4
Research suggested that lion's mane may have a role in preventing or treating cognitive decline, including Alzheimer's disease 3Lab studies showed that lion's mane mushrooms are a good source of hericenones and erinacines, two chemicals that accelerate the growth of brain cells 3.
A trend towards reduced subjective stress was observed in healthy young adults following 28 days of lion's mane supplementation 5
BEWARE
Most mushroom powders on the market are 90% filler and they don't list the filler on the ingredients.These companies don't grow any of their own mushrooms, and instead buy from companies who offer the lowest price, which are usually just myceliated oats.
Also, many companies are adding a tiny amount of mushroom powder to their products, simply to catch the hype train as a marketing tactic. Eeven if it is real mushroom powder, its usually not enough for a proper dose. A proper dose should be 1-3g
So Lions Mane in capsules for example is only about 0.2g per capsule, which is 10x less the proper dose.
So that means you would need to take 10 capsules to get the proper amount and you also pay more for it to be put in capsule form so don't rip yourself off.
I can't stress this enough, please read my blogs.
