Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) has been celebrated for centuries in traditional medicine, and modern science is beginning to uncover its remarkable potential. Packed with bioactive compounds, this shaggy, snow-white mushroom offers a wide range of health benefits that support the body and mind.
When we developed Hoppy Hour, our ultra-refreshing non-alcoholic sparkling hop water, we knew we wanted to infuse it with a few uplifting functional ingredients. Lion’s Mane was at the top of our list. It took us a long time to source a high-quality Lion’s Mane extract. We are proud that the Lion’s Mane used in Hoppy Hour is not only certified organic, it is made using a dual extraction process to extract both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds from the mushroom. This process ensures that the final extract contains the full range of bioactive compounds found in Lion’s Mane.
Let’s explore a few of the benefits of incorporating Lion’s Mane into your routine.
Brain Health and Cognitive Support
Lion’s Mane is renowned for its potential to enhance brain function. Its compounds, such as hericenones and erinacines, are believed to stimulate the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which plays a critical role in maintaining and repairing nerve cells. This could mean better focus, sharper memory, and long-term cognitive health.

Relaxation and Emotional Balance
Life’s daily stresses can take a toll, but Lion’s Mane may offer natural support. Studies suggest it could help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation by reducing inflammation in the brain and supporting emotional balance. For those seeking a sense of calm without sedation, Lion’s Mane is a promising ally.
