Medicinal mushrooms have been part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for as long as anyone can remember. This also applies to the Hericium, which is used there primarily for indigestion and indisposition  . Last but not least, the vital mushroom should also help to strengthen a weakened immune system and  play a role in the regulation of biochemical processes in the body .

Modern studies are also pursuing approaches in other medical areas. The medicinal mushroom powder has a high content of freely available amino acids. These protein building blocks are essential for our physiological bodily functions, for our health and for our well-being. It is not for nothing that numerous Chinese athletes and athletes consume medicinal mushrooms to improve their own performance.
The medicinal mushroom powder also has a high mineral content . Minerals such as iron, magnesium or calcium are largely responsible for blood formation, the cardiovascular system and blood pressure.
Sufficient exercise and a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and fruit is an optimal basis for a healthy body. With the Hericium extract, however, this way of life is supplemented and optimized with important building blocks.

Hedgehog's Mane - LION'S MANE

The hedgehog's mane is a very special mushroom from the Hericium family. In France, the medicinal mushroom is also known as a pom-pom, a term that describes its appearance very well. Its growth habit is unusual and actually resembles - just like a pom-pom - a hedgehog beard. It grows as a wound parasite on old deciduous trees and settles there as a thread-like or thorn-like structure up to 30 cm long. The fungus prefers a humid environment, so it's understandable that it likes to grow in forests that have high humidity levels. This rare fungus can be found particularly in oak or beech forests. Its color ranges from beige to slightly reddish. It can be found in almost all European countries, even if it tends to be rare.
A special feature that sets the hedgehog's mane apart from many other medicinal mushrooms is that it is also suitable for consumption . In Asia, the mushroom is cultivated as an edible mushroom and is considered a delicacy there. For fresh consumption, it is fried unwashed or breaded. Its delicate taste is compared to chicken, lobster or even veal, with a fresh note of citrus fruits. The hedgehog's mane is a high-quality ingredient for healthy cuisine , because mushrooms have a high mineral content and the Hericium mushrooms in particular have a high protein content.
