What Is Lion’s Mane Mushroom — and Why Is It in My Drink?
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a shaggy white mushroom long used in Traditional Chinese Medicine — and recently backed by modern science for its potential brain benefits.
What it’s known for:
🧠 Cognitive support — may promote memory, focus, and nerve regeneration
🛡️ Neuroprotection — studied for potential to reduce age-related decline
🧘 Mood balance — early studies suggest it may support mood and reduce mild anxiety
Why we use it in Afterdream:
Our goal is clarity — not sedation. Lion’s Mane pairs beautifully with low-dose THC and L-theanine to lift without fog, and to help your mind stay present even as your body relaxes.
Flavor note:
We use a standardized lion’s mane extract for its full functional benefit, while keeping the flavor clean and seamless in the blend — no earthiness, no mushroom funk.
TL;DR:
Lion’s Mane helps Afterdream work with your brain, not against it — clarity, not cloudiness.
