Anti-cancer effects: Turkey tail mushrooms have been extensively studied for their potential anti-cancer properties. They contain compounds like polysaccharides and triterpenoids, which have demonstrated anticancer effects by inhibiting tumor growth, promoting apoptosis (cell death), and enhancing the immune response against cancer cells.

Lion’s Mane is natures gift to your nervous system. For the maintenance, repair, enhancement, regeneration, development and protection of your brain cells.

In many neurological disorders the brain can’t manufacture Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which is thought to be one of the main issues in Alzheimer’s disease.

The molecules in synthetic NGF have proven to be too large to pass through the blood-brain barrier, which is the collective sheath we have over our brains. This allows progressive deterioration of brain neurons to continue over time. Lion’s Mane is able to overcome this with it’s active compounds, hericenones and erinacines.

Hericenones and erinacines are able to safely pass through the blood brain barrier and activate the production of NGF and in turn new neurons, all within the brain itself. So the way Lion’s Mane works is very different to those of other nootropics.

Racetams and other synthetic smart drugs work by modulating the production of various neurotransmitters. Lion’s Mane enhances cognition by increasing the amount of NGF in the brain, natually.

Cordyceps is often referred to as the “Olympic mushroom,” and has traditionally been used to help sustain energy, endurance, and vitality. More recently, it has also gained popularity for its cognitive and neuroprotective benefits. It has been studied for its ability to help enhance physical performance and athletic recovery due to the presence of adenosine and cordycepin. These have been found to help increase the body’s natural production of ATP, the energy-carrying molecule in our cells.

Cordyceps has been shown to support:
~ Energy levels
Cordyceps help to increase the body’s production of the molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), this is essential for delivering energy to the muscles.
~ Cognitive performance
Research has shown that increased oxygen uptake in the brain increases blood flow to brain cells and helps fight mental fatigue.
~ Athletic endurance
Taking Cordyceps helps to increase ATP production in the liver, this is the main energy source of the cells, and improves glucose metabolism. The result stimulates the body, increases strength and delays muscle exhaustion.
~ Adrenal function
Cordyceps is an adaptogen that helps support the adrenal glands. Adaptogens are non-toxic plants that help your body adapt to the stresses of every day life.
~ A healthy libido
Cordyceps offers a natural and powerful alternative to libido-enhancing pharmaceutical drugs, proven in many studies and used by various cultures worldwide to treat male impotence, improve erectile function, sperm production and stamina, and increase sexual desire in both men and women.
~ Healthy blood sugar levels
Cordyceps militaris extracts displayed a significant reduction in blood glucose levels by promoting glucose metabolism and strongly suppressed total cholesterol and triglycerides concentration in serum.
~ Cardiovascular health
Cordyceps may benefit heart health by helping prevent arrhythmias and lowering levels of triglycerides and “bad” LDL cholesterol.
~ Blood Pressure health
Many of these benefits are attributed to cordycepin, which is similar in molecular composition to adenosine. Like adenosine, cordycepin appears able to relax blood vessels, improving circulation and lowering blood pressure.

John Hopkins Research Center have done extensive research on Cordycepin (the active ingredient in Cordyceps) and a preparation from Cordyceps militaris inhibit malignant transformation and proliferation by decreasing EGFR and IL-17RA signaling in a murine oral cancer model
