At BOOD, you’ve come to know us for Seamoss – nature’s ocean mineral powerhouse. It’s where our journey began: with minerals from the sea, straight to your jar.
But performance living is about more than just the body. It’s about balance – fuelling the mind as much as the muscles. That’s why we’re bringing something new to the BOOD family: Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), a legendary fungi celebrated for centuries.
🌿 A Shaggy Icon of the Forest
Lion’s Mane grows in cascading, white, mane-like clusters — often compared to a lion’s mane or a waterfall of icicles. Native to Asia, North America, and Europe, it has been gathered from forests and valued not just for its striking look, but for its place in food and traditional wellness.
🍲 Ancient Culinary Traditions
In China and Japan, Lion’s Mane has been enjoyed for centuries in soups, teas, and broths. Its delicate, seafood-like flavour earned it a place in temple cuisine and royal kitchens alike. Unlike other mushrooms, it was often prized as a rare delicacy — something both nourishing and symbolic.
📜 A Place in Traditional Wellness
Beyond the kitchen, Lion’s Mane also featured in traditional Eastern practices. Ancient herbal texts describe it as a mushroom associated with the mind and spirit, often consumed to support clarity, focus, and balance. While modern science continues to explore its properties today, its reputation as a “mushroom for the mind” goes back hundreds of years.
🔬 What Is Lion’s Mane Mushroom Today?
Lion’s Mane is a functional mushroom that grows on hardwood trees across Asia, North America, and Europe. With its distinctive shaggy, mane-like appearance, it’s been a staple in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for hundreds of years.
Modern research has uncovered compounds in Lion’s Mane that are being studied for their role in supporting brain health, cognitive function, and long-term wellness. No wonder it’s fast becoming one of the most talked-about functional mushrooms in the UK.
🌍 From Forests to Modern Life
Fast-forward to today, and Lion’s Mane is no longer just a forest find. Carefully cultivated around the world, it is now widely available in powders, capsules, and extracts, making it easier than ever to incorporate this centuries-old ingredient into daily routines. Whether stirred into a tea, blended into a smoothie, or sprinkled into cooking, Lion’s Mane continues to connect ancient tradition with modern living.
🎯 Lion’s Mane and Performance Living
We started with Seamoss because it’s in our roots – a mineral-rich foundation for everyday vitality. But performance means balance. By introducing Lion’s Mane mushroom, we’re bringing you a natural way to sharpen your focus, boost productivity, and stay clear-headed.
Think of it as the next chapter in the BOOD journey:
