NDS® Lion's Mane®

NDS® mushroom supplements are all made from the intact, complete biomass. The complete biomass is crucial when it comes to the formation of active substances and enzymes.

NDS® Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) 

Cognitive and Neurological Health

1. Supports Neurogenesis: Lion's mane contains compounds like hericenones and erinacines, which may stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), aiding in the growth and repair of nerve cells.
2. Cognitive Function: Studies suggest it may improve memory, focus, and overall cognitive performance.
3. May Help Prevent Neurodegenerative Diseases: Preliminary research indicates potential benefits in managing conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s by reducing amyloid plaque and oxidative stress in the brain.
4. May Reduce Symptoms of Mild Cognitive Impairment: Some evidence suggests it can enhance cognitive function in older adults.

Mental Health

5. Reduces Anxiety and Depression: Lion's mane has been shown to have anxiolytic and antidepressant properties, potentially by improving neuroplasticity and modulating brain function.

Gut Health

6. Supports Gut Healing: The mushroom may promote the repair of intestinal lining, which could be beneficial for individuals with leaky gut syndrome or inflammatory bowel conditions.
7. Prebiotic Effects: It can help support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

Immune System Support

8. Boosts Immunity: Lion's mane may enhance the activity of the immune system by modulating the gut microbiota and directly stimulating immune cells.

Anti-inflammatory Properties

9. Reduces Inflammation: Compounds in lion's mane can reduce inflammation, which may help manage chronic diseases.

Cardiovascular Health

10. Improves Lipid Profile: Animal studies suggest it may reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL ("good") cholesterol.
11. Supports Heart Health: Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Diabetes Management

12. Improves Blood Sugar Control: It may improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood glucose levels.
13. Protects Against Diabetic Neuropathy: Research suggests lion's mane may alleviate nerve damage caused by diabetes.

Wound Healing and Skin Health

14. Enhances Wound Healing: Lion's mane may stimulate the production of collagen, promoting faster wound healing.
15. Anti-Aging Effects: Its antioxidant properties can support skin health and delay aging.

Cancer Prevention and Support

16. Anti-Cancer Properties: Some studies suggest that lion's mane has the potential to inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells and boost the immune system during treatment.

NDS® MUSHROOM BIOMASS has many advantages compared to extracts, concentrates, freeze-dried and wild collected mushrooms

■ Full preservation of the active substances in their natural and complete conditions, no displacement of the effects in the mushroom.

■ Mushroom biomass has a wide range of substances, up to approx. 400 and it is impossible to "know what to do" if you choose some in relation to e.g. standardisation, at the expense of others.

■ The many substances, including enzymes, work together for the benefit of the whole as fungi. In nature, the fungi collaborate with the roots of other plants so that they receive nutrients and provide better bio-availability through the minerals in the soil for example.

■ Mushrooms are very metabolically active and in order to form these many bio-active substances, both polysaccharides (including β-glucans) and a multitude of secondary metabolites, have a high enzyme activity, which should be preserved in the finished product, for the benefit of humans – which is what it is in the NDS mushroom supplement. Enzymes become inactivated by heating, and the NDS series is not heated.

■ Enzymes are an essential component in the effectiveness of fresh mushrooms. These protein substances are part of and control many vital processes in the body, which promote good health, protect the body, and heal defects.

■ The NDS fungi have been documented to contain a large number of secondary metabolites, which can play an important role in the host's immune function and regulation, so that they can be used in immunotherapy.

■ Content of micro and macro elements: Dietary fibres, vitamins, trace elements, terpenes, sterols, phenols, secondary metabolites, amino acids and polysaccharides (glucans) are in a natural context, that is to say with intact protein binding and unconcentrated extracted form.

■ NDS mushroom supplements are made under sterile and strictly controlled conditions, so there is no risk of heavy metal accumulation, chemical residues and other unwanted substances, but they are analysed, to be absolutely sure.

■ Ecology approved.

■ Fits the philosophy of all branches of holistic thinking/ practice, as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
