Why Lions Mane & Cordyceps Mushrooms?

Lion’s Mane: Your Brain’s Best Friend

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus), named for its resemblance to a lion’s mane in the wild, is native to North America, Europe, and Asia and has been valued in traditional medicine for centuries.

Studies suggest that Lion’s Mane may stimulate the production of nerve growth factor—a protein essential for the growth and longevity of nerve cells—which can improve memory, focus, and overall cognitive function. It’s also known to enhance mood and support mental health.

With powerful antioxidant properties, Lion’s Mane is thought to protect against oxidative stress, potentially preventing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and promoting healthy aging.

Cordyceps: Your Body’s Best Bud!

Cordyceps has long been valued for its vitality-boosting properties, making it your body’s ultimate ally. Known for enhancing athletic performance and boosting energy, Cordyceps works by improving oxygen utilisation and increasing energy production—leading to better endurance during sports and exercise.

In addition to a full-body boost, Cordyceps also supports the immune system, helping to fend off coughs, colds, and other infections. Its antioxidants further promote anti-aging by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, keeping you feeling strong and resilient.

The Ultimate Natural Fuel for Life

Whether you're hitting the pavement, powering through the pitch, or tackling daily life, Protein SPORT offers a comprehensive nutritional solution by combining the brain-boosting benefits of Lion's Mane with the energy-enhancing properties of Cordyceps. Perfect for athletes aiming to improve performance or anyone seeking better overall well-being, this blend supports your journey to optimal health.
