Lions Mane Mushroom Powder 100g

Lion’s mane mushrooms are native to North America and Eurasia. Rich in bioactive compounds such as hericenomes and erinacines, are known to boost brain function and improve memory. This makes them particularly beneficial for senior dogs who may be suffering from the early stages of mental decline. This is something known as ‘doggy dementia’ or, canine cognitive dysfunction. Those bioactive compounds hericenones and erinacines stimulate the growth of brain cells and can help protect against this decline.

Lion’s mane mushrooms have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years for their amazing healing properties. Those properties include, antibiotic, antiodixant, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective, anti-fatigue, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing.

It is said that their neurotrophic properties can help manage a number of challenging health issues including, providing mood enhancement and improving anxiety and depression, protection against canine cognitive dysfunction, overcoming chronic inflammation, improving gut health, offering anti-cancer properties, improving cardiovascular health and prevent cardiovascular disease.

While Lion’s Mane is generally considered safe, some dogs may experience mild digestive upset when first introduced to it. To minimize the risk of side effects, it is advisable to start with a lower dose and monitor for any signs of intolerance. Rarely, some dogs may exhibit allergic reactions, so pet owners should watch for symptoms like itching, swelling, or gastrointestinal discomfort.

Since Lion’s Mane has immune-modulating properties, dogs with autoimmune conditions should only take it under veterinary supervision. Additionally, interactions with certain medications, such as blood thinners, should be considered before supplementing with Lion’s Mane.
