Lion’s Mane Extract 8:1 (fruiting body)
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) has been used for centuries as both a culinary mushroom and a traditional ingredient in Asian herbal practices, particularly in regions such as China and Japan.
In recent years, clinical evidence has revealed some of Lion's Mane's mechanisms on cognitive function, namely promoting Nerve Growth Factor(NGF).
One clinical study revealed Lion's Mane powder (raw) in capsule form showed notable improvements in cognitive function (in individuals with mild cognitive decline). Further, a randomized control study using healthy participants showed improved scores in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) test (compared to placebo).
Dual Extraction Process
Our Lion’s Mane (fruiting body) is produced using a dual extraction method (water and alcohol) to obtain a broad range of naturally occurring compounds from the mushroom.
- Water extraction helps isolate polysaccharides (including beta-glucans)
- Alcohol extraction helps obtain additional naturally occurring constituents like Hericenones that promote Nerve Growth Factor .
This process helps ensure a more complete/ full spectrum extract that provides the entire breadth of effects.
Recommended Dose: 1 capsule daily
