DIRTEA Smart & Sleep Boxset

Lion’s Mane has been a part of East Asian cultures and has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries. It was reserved for royalty and cherished by Buddhist monks.  Shaolin Buddhist monks took powdered Lion’s mane because of its cognitive powers and ability to enhance deep meditation practice.

Lion’s Mane has a light savoury taste that is similar to miso soup.

Lion's Mane, also known as the “smart mushroom”, contains compounds (hericenones and erinacines) that may support nerve and brain health. Lion’s Mane may stimulate the production of the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain. NGF is a protein that plays a vital role in the growth, maintenance, and repair of nerve cells (neurons) in the hippocampus, a part of the brain associated with thinking, learning and emotions. (1) (2) Lion's Mane mushroom has been traditionally used in Asia for centuries as a brain tonic and to improve memory and concentration.

Lion's Mane contains bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides and beta-glucans, that may have a prebiotic effect. Prebiotics are substances that promote the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria. (3) By supporting a healthy balance of gut microbiota, Lion's Mane may contribute to overall gut health.

Reishi is the Queen of Mushrooms. It’s known for its calming qualities. Reishi is great to relax, wind-down and centre yourself. It helps promote deep sleep whilst also helping to support immune health and enhancing your body’s natural defence. 

Reishi has a very bitter taste, and works well mixed into hot chocolate or a cacao.

Reishi, “the queen of mushrooms,” is one of nature’s most soothing wonders, famous for promoting calmness and supporting better sleep. (1) The high number of triterpenoids found within this mushroom powder not only accounts for its bitter taste, but they are functional compounds that may benefit our parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness and better-quality sleep, so we say the more bitter, the better! (2)

Reishi is rich in polysaccharides and beta-glucans, which are complex carbohydrates known for their immune-enhancing properties. The number of triterpenoids within Reishi may also support immune health. (2)(3)

Reishi was highly esteemed in ancient Chinese culture, where it earned various titles, including the "Mushroom of Immortality" and the "Elixir of Life." It was believed to promote longevity, improve vitality, and enhance spiritual well-being—the first records of mushroom cultivation date from thousands of years ago in East Asia.  Reishi is also known as Shen tonic. Within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Shen translates to our spirit and “higher consciousness," representing the divinity within all.

There is plenty of evidence to support the benefits that functional mushrooms can offer children, but it’s worth noting there is no definitive research on the topic. Meanwhile, there is also no indication that they pose any danger to children.

We recommend it not be given to children under 10 years of age. At this early stage, children’s bodily systems are still developing and adapting to their environment.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s always a good idea to consult your child’s paediatrician before introducing any supplements into their diet particularly if they’re on medication. 

No, our Pure Powders are free from allergens. 

Please consult your doctor if you have a medical condition or are taking any medication.
