Lion's mane

Lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a edible mushroom distinguished by its resemblance to a lion's mane. Highly regarded for its potential health benefits, this mushroom boasts a rich history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Asian cultures. Its introduction to the Western world occurred relatively recently, gaining significant attention over the past couple of decades.

Numerous studies, encompassing both human and animal research, have been conducted to investigate the hypothesis that lions mane supplementation can stimulate the production of Neural Growth Factor (NGF), thus fostering enhanced cognitive function and offering neuroprotective qualities. Research conducted at institutions such as the University of Queensland, coupled with in various articles accessible through the National Library of Medicine (including publications from 2015, 2018, and 2023, among others) have begun to substantiate these compelling claims.

Studies have shown that you should take 250-350mg per day to experience the positive effects of lion's mane. A common misconception is that you need to take significant amounts of lion's mane (>1000mg) to see effects on the body. However, studies have shown that users taking a 250mg dosage experience the same effects as users taking a higher dosage (1000mg) after controlling for the placebo.

There is 280mg of lion's mane per 10g of coffee. This translates to approximately 280mg per single shot of coffee.

Lion's mane is commonly used in natural supplements and wellness routines, especially by those seeking natural alternatives to support brain health and cognitive functions such as memory, focus, and mental clarity.

Common users include individuals in high-demanding professions (e.g. finance, technology, sales, startups, and legal), creatives (e.g. artists, designers, musicians), endurance athletes (e.g. ultrarunners, triathletes, trail runners, cyclists), high-performance athletes, and individuals aiming to enhance their morning routine naturally.

As with any supplement, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating lion's mane into your regimen, particularly if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications

Hemp

When it comes to hemp-derived products, including CBD and THC, there is currently no definitive consensus on the optimal daily dosage. Our dosage recommendation is based on our product testing and consultations with various experts in the space. We recommend between 15 to 30 milligrams of hemp seed oil per kilogram of body weight.

By way of example, a person weighing 60 kilograms would typically consider a daily dosage between 900 to 1800 milligrams.

There is 100mg of hemp per 10g of coffee. This translates to approximately 100mg per single shot of coffee.

We have found that anymore hemp creates an unwanted earthy taste in the coffee, so we encourage you to supplement your hemp intake using additional hemp extracts (or, having
multiple cups of hemp coffee 😉).

No, hemp is not psychoactive. Hemp refers to varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant that contain very low levels of the psychoactive compound delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Unfortunately not, although, we intend to offer this in the near future! CBD is legal to sell over-the-counter in Australia, however the TGA has not approved any products as of yet.
