What is Amanita Muscaria?Amanita Muscaria is a mushroom with active compounds like muscimol and ibotenic acid. These substances influence your brain's natural calming system, similar to how GABA (a natural brain chemical) works. They help regulate mood and relaxation without causing a psychedelic trip. In the “old world”, the psychoactive fly agaric mushroom (Amanita muscaria) has been closely associated with northern European and Asiatic shamans and their rituals. Researchers have documented its use or presumed use by numerous cultures throughout Europe and Asia. In Siberia, its use predates the crossing of the Bering Straits into North America.

How Does Amanita Muscaria Work?Amanita muscaria works primarily through its active compounds, muscimol and ibotenic acid. These compounds interact with the brain's neurotransmitter systems, notably the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors, which play a key role in reducing neuronal excitability. Muscimol mimics the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, enhancing its calming effects, which helps reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. This modulation improves sleep quality by helping to regulate sleep cycles and decrease insomnia. Ibotenic acid, when metabolized into muscimol, further contributes to these effects. It also influences other neurotransmitter pathways, contributing to mood elevation and increased cognitive clarity. By integrating these small, non-psychoactive doses into your routine, amanita muscaria helps enhance mood, energy, and creativity, all while maintaining a legal and safe profile.

What does it actually do?Amanita microdosing interacts with GABA receptors in your brain. These receptors help regulate stress and promote calmness. By gently activating them, Amanita enhances relaxation, boosts mood, and supports overall mental well-being without inducing a psychedelic experience. Amanita mushrooms contain muscimol which acts as a depressant when introduced to the central nervous system through its engagement with GABAa receptors. GABA is responsible for reducing agitation throughout the nervous system, and also suggests why muscimol has a sedative effect.

What’s the benefit of Lion’s Mane?Lion's Mane may increase levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain. BDNF promotes the formation and strengthening of synapses, especially in the hippocampus, enhancing brain flexibility, learning, and skill acquisition. NGF supports the growth and survival of neurons, contributing to better learning, memory, and overall cognitive function.
-
Why does this mushroom deliver different results?Lion’s Mane is made up of two parts: the fruiting body (the visible part that grows above ground) and the mycelium (the root-like structure). Fruiting Body: Contains beta-glucans, a type of polysaccharide that supports immune health, healthy cell growth, and turnover (damaged cell replacement). It also contains hericenones, which boost NGF production. Mycelium: Contains erinacines, another bioactive compound that enhances NGF production and supports neuron growth and development.
-
How does Lion’s Mane support cognitive health?Lion’s Mane contains rich bioactive compounds like beta-glucans, hericenones, and erinacines that: Promote Neurogenesis: Stimulate the production of NGF, aiding in the creation of new neurons and supporting cognitive functions such as memory recall, learning efficiency, and mental clarity. Maintain Cognitive Health with Age: In clinical trials, adults aged 50–80 who took Lion’s Mane daily for 16 weeks experienced significant improvements in cognitive function. The benefits were more pronounced with consistent use.
-
Does Lion’s Mane provide antioxidant support?Lion’s Mane enhances antioxidant enzyme activity, providing neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory benefits. Antioxidants protect the brain from oxidative stress, which can damage neurons, lipids, proteins, and DNA over time. Studies show that Lion’s Mane’s polysaccharides, especially beta-glucans, exhibit strong antioxidant activity, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and improving mitochondrial function.
-
Does Lion’s Mane enhance memory?Yes, Lion’s Mane has been linked to increased levels of BDNF, essential for memory formation.
