Imbolc is formulated to support mental clarity, focus, and cognitive renewal, combining ingredients studied for their roles in nerve health, stress regulation, and gentle physiological clearing that supports sustained, calm mental performance.
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
Lion’s Mane is one of the most clinically studied mushrooms for cognitive clarity and mental performance. Human trials have shown measurable improvements in memory, focus, and overall cognitive scores, particularly in adults experiencing mental fatigue or mild cognitive decline.
These effects are linked to Lion’s Mane’s unique compounds, hericenones and erinacines, which have been shown to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) — a key protein involved in neuron health, signalling, and repair.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
Reishi is widely studied for its effects on stress regulation, immune balance, and nervous system calm. Human and animal studies associate Reishi with reduced markers of stress, improved sleep quality, and modulation of immune response.
Its primary active compounds — triterpenes and beta-glucans — interact with the body’s stress and immune pathways, supporting resilience rather than stimulation. This makes Reishi particularly relevant for mental clarity that comes from calm, regulated focus.
Cleavers (Galium aparine)
Cleavers is a traditional lymphatic and circulatory herb increasingly studied for its role in supporting detoxification pathways and fluid balance. It is rich in iridoid glycosides and polyphenols, compounds associated with gentle clearance of metabolic waste and inflammatory byproducts.
By supporting lymphatic movement and internal “clearing,” Cleavers complements cognitive-focused ingredients by reducing physiological load rather than driving stimulation.
Why extraction matters
Lion’s Mane and Reishi contain compounds that are poorly absorbed in raw or powdered form. A 1:3 double extraction uses hot water and alcohol to:
-
extract beta-glucans and polysaccharides
-
preserve alcohol-soluble neuroactive and stress-modulating compounds
-
improve consistency and bioavailability
Functional role
Imbolc is formulated to support mental clarity, focus, and cognitive freshness by combining neuro-supportive compounds with ingredients that promote internal balance and physiological clearing — aligning with the theme of renewal and new beginnings.
