How Does Lion’s Mane Make You Feel?
Share
Let’s get one thing straight. Lion’s Mane is more roar and less of a psychedelic soar. Lion’s Mane is a functional mushroom, NOT a psychedelic magic mushroom. If you’ve been thinking Lion’s Mane supplements would take you to another realm, you’ll be disappointed.
But if you’ve been hoping that taking Lion’s Mane mushroom will boost your immune system, relieve oxidative stress, repair nerve damage, protect your brain cells and fight inflammation, then you’re in for a treat.
The health benefits of Lion's Mane can truly transform your life, but how? What does Lion's Mane feel like? How can it benefit me? Sit tight, we've got all the information you need.
Shaking Up The Mood with Lion's Mane Mushroom
Consuming Lion’s Mane mushrooms won’t get you high, but it will make you feel different in some significant ways. The biggies you’ll notice are the clearing up of brain fog and a sense of well-being that might get you out of bed with a bit more pep in the mornings.
Once you get to know Lion’s Mane extract a little better, though, you’ll notice why they call it life’s mood enhancer. Feeling anxious? Let it take a backseat. Mood swings spinning your head? Settle into a more consistent vibe.
If your mind has been enveloped in a thick fog, get ready for some mental clarity, as Lion’s Mane extract has the scientific compounds and properties that will have you feeling more like a zen master.
Lion’s Mane can step in as your personal mood-whisperer, helping you navigate the maze of modern life.
But hold up, if you’re worried that sounds a little trippy, don’t worry. Neither Lion’s Mane mushroom supplements nor fresh Lion's Mane mushrooms will have you seeing unicorns or enhance your senses.
We can’t stress this enough - Lion’s Mane is not psychoactive. The effects are more like levelling up your body’s natural processes for an overall sense of feelin’ good. No magic potions here.
Energise Me, Maybe
What if moods aren’t your problem? What about energy levels? Fatigue is a hugely common complaint - and is it any wonder in today’s hustle culture? Makes sense that so many people are looking for a way to feel more awake for longer, or at least get back to their normal energy levels faster.
Now, while Lion’s Mane won’t have you bouncing off the walls, it will give you the subtle boost you’re looking for in the long term because of its powerful polysaccharides.
If you want to be jolted awake and then left jittering and exhausted, stick to the energy drinks and double espressos. If you want to notice a gradual and beneficial increase in your mental and physical mental energy levels, then Lion’s Mane is your fun-guy.
Especially since Lion’s Mane supports your gut, where a lot of the causes for fatigue begin. Think of this magic-free shroom as a refreshing nap rather than a caffeine-fuelled all-nighter.
So when it comes to improved mood and sustainably boosted energy, Lion’s Mane is the better go-to than your usual everyday stimulants or distractions.
The Antioxidant Avenger
At the risk of sounding like fangirls, it’s time to get into the superpowers of Lion’s Mane. This mighty mushroom does more than support your mood and energy; it’s also a defender against dreaded brain fog.
Natural compounds in Lion’s Mane, like polysaccharides, combat fatigue at its root. This fungi steps in to save the day if you’re dealing with oxidative stress, kicking into action with its clinically recorded levels of antioxidants!
Plus, it supports a healthy gut microbiome, which is where so many health problems can come from. Because our gut has a direct line to our brain, what goes on in one can deeply affect the other. So don’t underestimate the importance of a balanced tum.
Yawn Or Yay?
Let’s tackle a common question - can Lion’s Mane make you drowsy? The answer is a big ol’ no. You won’t become a lazy bones if you take Lion’s Mane.
In fact, because of its energy-boosting and gut-healing properties, you’ll have quite the opposite experience. Mr Sandman isn’t on the guest list if Lion’s Mane is in town. But… there’s a twist.
Lion’s Mane has been found to indirectly help you get better sleep once you do drift off to dreamland at your own pace. You won’t nod off if you take Lion’s Mane, but its anti-anxiety powers can create a serene sense of calm in your body and mind, making it easier for you to stay asleep once you get to sleep.
So Lion’s Mane might be your new best bedtime buddy.
Defeating Inflammation
Inflammation really is the root of all evil. Well, at least it's certainly the root of mood swings, low energy and brain fog. If you suspect inflammation is the dastardly puppet master behind your anxiety, symptoms of depression, gut problems or low concentration, Lion’s Mane could be the knight in shining armour to come to your rescue.
In fact, it’s pretty likely that inflammation is to blame for your mood complaints since studies show that inflammation in the brain is the initial cause of anxiety, depression and general low mood.
This can be a bit tricky to reverse since, most of the time, your doctor will prescribe antidepressants, which don’t really tackle the main issue of inflammation that could be causing the issues themselves.
However, studies have shown that Lion’s Mane isn’t playing around when it comes to reducing inflammation. From menopausal mood swings to obesity-induced inflammation, Lion’s Mane can lend a hand.
Its clever compounds, like polysaccharides and beta-glucans, not only battle the inflammation at its source but also support your immune system so you can keep up the good fight alongside.
These important properties mean this fabulous fungi has the power to support emotional regulation as well as mood stabilisation with its powerful anti-inflammatory effects.
