Why Should I Take Lion’s Mane Mushroom?

Lion’s mane mushroom has built up quite the reputation over the years, and firmly established itself as one of the most sought after natural nootropics! There is a good reason for this, the fruiting bodies of the lion’s mane mushroom are chock full of beneficial compounds, which can help promote cognitive, cardiovascular and immune function.

Our lion’s mane is also unique for the fact that it only utilizes pure fruiting body. This is in contrast to mycelium on grain products which have become more and more popular in the mushroom world over the last few years. Mycelium on grain products can’t even be called mushrooms, because they aren’t actually mushrooms yet at this stage! While mycelium on grain products certainly can contain beneficial compounds, they simply don’t compare to high quality fruiting body lion’s mane. This sentiment is shared amongst many lion’s mane enthusiasts, including ourselves, which is why we have always found it important to provide only high quality fruiting body mushroom products!

What is Lion’s Mane Mushroom?

Hericium erinaceus, or more commonly known as Lion’s Mane Mushroom, is a fully edible mushroom belonging to the tooth fungi family. This mushroom is easily spotted by their long and dangly spines. Just to add to the quirkiness of this mushroom, it is also known as bearded tooth mushroom, hedgehog mushroom, and even pom pom mushroom. The names stem from its unique clusters that look similar to a lion’s mane.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom naturally grows in Europe, Asia and North America on hardwood trees in late summer and fall. This mushroom contains various beneficial polysaccharides, such as beta-glucans, and several terpenoid compounds such as the hericenones and erinacines.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract is standardized to a minimum of 25% Beta-Glucan (β-Glucan).

Lion's Mane Benefits and Uses

    • Promotes cognitive function
    • Promotes immune function
    • Promotes cardiovascular function

The Importance of Fruiting Body Extracts

Mushrooms are quite unique in many ways, and one of the most special things about mushrooms is how they grow. First, spores inoculate a substrate, which then causes mycelium to grow. The mycelium are root-like structures, from which the actual mushroom eventually grows. The mushroom is what we call the fruiting body. It’s quite interesting to note that the mycelium, under the right conditions, can already contain some very unique bioactive compounds. In particular, a now quite legendary compound called erinacine A, is expressed in the mycelium but not in the fruiting body. This finding has been completely taken out of context though, in the mushroom supplements world.

Erinacine A, and other erinacines, do in fact occur in the mycelium of the mushroom. However, this compound is not always present in the mycelium, and is only expressed in high amounts when the conditions are perfect. However, this idea has led to the rising popularity of mycelium lion’s mane products. The issue with this trend is that the mycelium is not being produced properly for this purpose.

In order to cultivate fruiting body lion’s mane, you first have to inoculate a grain based substrate, with spores or even mycelium. These spores then start to form mycelium throughout the substrate. The myceliated substrate is then exposed to fruiting conditions, and the lion’s mane mushroom starts to grow. However, this process takes quite a long time, because lion’s mane is a relatively slow growing mushroom. The process can be cut short though, and this is what the mycelium on grain products do.

These products utilize the same process, they take grain substrate, inoculate it with lion’s mane spores or mycelium, and then they wait for the mycelium to colonize the grain substrate. Once there is a good amount of mycelium, the myceliated substrate is freeze dried and ground up. This means that a significant portion of a product like this, is simply just grains and not actual mushroom. In our opinion, this is simply a convenient shortcut that has been presented as the “next generation” of mushroom supplementation. This simply is not the case however, and all the research on lion’s mane, and the majority of human use of this mushroom, has all depended heavily on the fruiting bodies of the mushroom, not lazily produced mycelium!

What Can Real Fruiting Body Lion’s Mane Do For You?

With our 1:1 lion’s mane product, you get the full spectrum of all the beneficial compounds that are naturally found in lion’s mane. A stand out in this lion’s mane fruiting body product, will be its beta-glucan content, which is quite high at 25%! The beta-glucans within lion’s mane will have very positive effects on overall immune function, while also promoting overall cardiovascular function. These high levels of beta-glucans can only be found in high quality fruiting bodies, which is part of the reason why fruiting body lion’s mane products are highly sought after.

Our 1:1 lion’s mane will also preserve a wide range of terpenoid compounds that naturally occur in the fruiting body. These terpenoid compounds have been shown to have very beneficial effects on cognitive function, which is why lion’s mane has long been regarded as one of the best natural nootropics. Within the 1:1 lion’s mane, these compounds are expressed in a natural balance with all of the other beneficial compounds in lion’s mane, which results in a very nice, full spectrum effect. If however, you are mostly interested in the nootropic effects of lion’s mane, we would suggest checking out the more potent cognition enhancing extract of lion’s mane, our dual water/ethanol 8:1 extract.

    Lions Mane and memory

    I've read about the benefits of Lions Mane to cognition, specially memory, but I was still skeptical. After I tried these capsules, I really felt the difference. I am 58 and I used to forget 9 to 11 words daily! It was driving me crazy. When I started taking it, I felt a difference after a few days: more focus, more connection to tasks, and specially, not forgetting words. Today I only forget 1 or 2 words a day. This really works. The quality from this site is very good.

    Okay

    This is an average product in my opinion. As such, it does make you more calm, but if you are used to a normal level of anxiousness to drive your motivation and work, I wouldn’t recommend this. Also, the extract is better than this product in terms of potency

    Excellent for Intermittent Fasting entry

    I used to binge eat out of boredom or excess emotions, so I decided to try OMAD intermittent fasting for at least a month to lessen my junk food dependency. I took Lion's Mane alone with a multivitamin, enzymes and a few probiotics with my daily meal and I'm now into my third month without the feeling of dread over not binging anymore. I took a lot of Lion's Mane (about 10 capsules daily) during my first two weeks and my thinking was clear, level-headed and fervently curious about learning creative skills on a whim —EXACTLY what I needed while my body was relearning hunger&full signals. Now I tapered down to just one capsule a day, which helps as a subtle boost during my late morning/early afternoon (my daily meal is a breakfast, so all my supplements begin to release around this time). Mushrooms in general are spectacular in my opinion. They're so synergistic.

    Good supply

    I was able to use this product to help me regain my smell and taste. I have been taking lions mane for various brands for approximately a year now and in the last month I lost my taste and smell due to infection. I wanted to try this brand to help test the theory that lions mane could help and it did. I am also using their reishi powder.

    Not for me

    From the research I've done, this can be either a miracle supplement or do next to nothing. Unfortunately, I'm in the latter group. After taking it for a month now, I've noticed no change. I will continue taking it, mainly for the beta glucans. I know the quality is good and pure, because I do well with other mushrooms from ND. Cordyceps is my personal favorite.

    Just what I needed

    Great neurological booster and mood stabilizer. For those of you used to taking doctor prescribe drugs, this is a better solution with no side effects for this particular strain. But do you know it runs more like a low gear tractor rather than a fast race car. The effects are subtle yet powerful. Not to mention Delray of other benefits such as an immune enhancer.

    Mild benefits

    initially i had headaches, but the headaches eased off after the first few weeks. verbal fluency has seen mild, but noticeable improvement, brain fog is slightly better. But I am going to buy this again. Also, in terms of mood, i became more active (less passive), more aggressive and less submissive - but all these changes were mild, and I dont know whether I should attribute these to the mushroom or not.

    Life Saver

    as someone given the diagnosis of an attention disorder and then put on stimulant medication for years, lion’s mane was the only no-side effects supplement to get my brain back on track after dropping the pharmaceuticals while also maintaining my productivity afterward. Great product. I prefer this one over the others sold on this site.

    Increased Motivation

    I think the biggest benefit I have noticed from this is the will to get things done when I take it. This is a promising mushroom that I will continue to take. It has many benefits and I am excited to see what else it has to offer.
