Our Lion’s Mane Matcha Latte is the perfect blend start to your day with cognitive supporting Lion’s Mane combined with Matcha and Cinnamon. Lion’s Mane is the most revered mushroom for brain health. Matcha is rich in L-theanine, an amino acid that is powerful for the mind, helping to support clarity of thought, concentration and focus. This superfood also contains loads of antioxidants, especially EGCG and other catechins to protect our cells from free radical damage.
Lion’s Mane has a unique nutrient profile rich in hericenones and erinacines, and it’s delicious flavour perfectly complements L-theanine rich antioxidant powerhouse Matcha to support focus, clarity of thought, and overall cognitive function. Lion’s Mane mushroom stimulates the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) which helps maintain the neurons which are brain cells responsible for helping us to process and transmit information, supporting learning and memory, so it is an ideal choice if you are studying for an exam, have a mentally demanding job, or for general concentration and focus all day long.
