One of the most amazing things about medicinal mushrooms such as Lion’s Mane is that they possess unique long-chain polysaccharides known as beta-glucans. These polysaccharides act as “biological response modifiers” in humans. This means when ingested, they awaken and greatly augment our own native immune cells to carry out actions in which they are inherently designed to do but may be executing poorly - such as expose and remove decaying cells, improve surveillance to pathogenic threats and regulate rogue inflammation in the body.
A huge literature review was conducted in 2014 summarising all the available experimental and clinical research available on Lion’s Mane to date. Significant beta glucan-induced immune activation was seen in every single research published and available. This suggests Lion’s Mane offers potent benefits for immune dysregulatory conditions, inflammatory disorders and stealth infections. Below is the link for this study which we will link to in our stories.
