excelent quality
Lion's Mane or as it is scientifically known, Hericium erinaceus, is an edible mushroom belonging to the tooth fungus group. Native to North America, Europe, and Asia, Lion’s mane can be identified by its long spines (longer than 1 cm length) and its appearance on hardwoods and its tendency to grow a single clump of dangling spines. In the wild, these mushrooms are common during late summer and fall on hardwoods, particularly American Beech. Hericium erinaceus contains a number of polysaccharides, such as B-glucan (beta-glucan), heteroglycans, heteroxylans and several cyanthane derivative triterpenes known as hericenone and erinacine. These latter compounds are found in the fruit body and mycelium respectively and are known to provide a lot of the lion’s mane benefits. Lion’s mane mushroom has a long history of traditional use.
Lion's Mane Mushroom Benefits and UsesWhole fruiting body, means that the actual mushroom is used, rather than the mycelium.The Lion’s mane whole fruiting body extract is made by treating the plant material with hot water to break down the cell walls of the mushroom known as chitin. Breaking down chitin increases the overall bioavailability of the beneficial polysaccharides within Lion’s mane like beta-d-glucans. These beta-d-glucans are trapped within the cell walls of the mushroom, thus breaking it down will allow them to become liberated and more easily absorbed. All raw lion’s mane mushroom processed this way is collected, dried, and turned into a powder. This means that with the full spectrum 1:1 lion’s mane extract you will be getting lion’s mane mushroom benefits from every beneficial compound within the mushroom. This full spectrum Lion's Mane extract produces a very comprehensive set of lion’s mane mushroom benefits, ranging from nerve and memory health support, immune system support, while also promoting mood and cardiovascular health.
Beta-Glucan (β-Glucan) minimum content: 25%

Lion's Mane definitely made me a more stable and mature person over two months.
It also noticeably increased my sexual endurance which was unexpected.
I didn't really notice any memory improvements, but the other benefits alone made it worth taking.
The only reason I stopped taking it is that on my second batch, it slowly started to give me insomnia. I have stopped and retried it multiple times, unfortunately with the same result.
Still, I give it 4 stars for its benefits.

This is a fascinating substance …. with a really pleasant vibe. I began using it daily about 4 months ago. I add about half tsp. to my first cup of coffee of the day. My coffee consumption has dropped 65-75%, but my cognitive function has increased. After that first cup of mushroom coffee, my brain is firing on all cylinders and on-point …. as if I've had 6 cups of regular coffee. I find that I'm more focused and grounded since using this product daily.
Was skeptical, but definitely helped with my fatigue from another medication.
Can't compare to other powders. I buy and cook this mushroom in addition to taking the powder. The mental impact has been pretty remarkable. I was a heavy coffee drinker. 500 ml to 1 L a day often. I really like coffee and also just felt the need to stay hyper focused. I have completely stopped coffee. I have a cup of tea sometimes now. Much more clarity and focus which doesn't devolve into late afternoon crashes like caffeine. I highly recommend trying this mushroom. Noots depot has the best price I can find and the product seems good. Shipping takes a while, but I'm in Thailand. I think it took about three weeks to get over here and through customs and costs $11.
I judge based only on acute effects. In My Experience:
Lion's Mane gives a smooth boost in energy and motivation, making for positive productivity without the anxious edge that might show up with Polygala or Caffeine, for example. I initially used one dose of 500mg alongside a 100mg caffeine pill to test effects. I now use two doses of 250mg Cordyceps with 250mg Lion's Mane together with 100mg caffeine. I take this dose once in the morning and once in the afternoon, separated by about 4 hours.
The effects of the Cordyceps are very similar but more or less apparent in some ways; I feel the increase in motivation and focus is stronger with Lion's Mane, but the "activation energy" and mood boost are stronger with Cordyceps. Very similar experiences but with slightly different specs.
Good stuff. Felt sharper in about 3 or 4 days
I have tried Lion's Mane on and off in the past with mixed results and decided to get back into it again with ND's product and so far I must say I'm satisfied. I've been taking ashwaghanda along with it so YMMV.
I have been taking it in the morning for a bit over a week and a half at the recommended dosage and started gradually feeling the effects after 3-4 days. It seems to give a constant background energy boost but the kind you notice after the fact (no fatigue until late in the day). Dreams have been more vivid and quality of sleep deteriorated during the first few days, but now it seems to be stabilizing. Elevated mood overall. It did seem to exacerbate a mix of mania-like symptoms where I was motivated to do things but also a bit overwhelmed. However I was able to keep them under control. I'll keep on taking it and see how it goes.
Shipping by ND was great and arrived quickly at the border, but it took over a week for Canada Post to get it to my address, so prepare in advance.
So taste
It's difficult to say if I feel a difference or not from this supplement. My understanding is that the benefits are seen over a long period of time. This is one of the best prices I have found for high quality Lion's Mane extract, and the extract arrived quickly and in good condition. The Lion's Mane extract has a strong, pleasant earthy flavor. I will definitely be ordering from Nootropics Depot again in the future.
This is an excellent natural nootropic product.
Everything came ok here !!!
Thanks and Regards !!!

Love it
I did not notice an effect at the recommended dosage (1000mg - measured on a food scale) over a few days, mixing with tea or coffee. I began putting using heaping spoonfuls (1000 - 3000 mg) into my drinks and perhaps it gave an effect similar to drinking a cup of coffee after not having any for a couple days. Not a strong effect for me personally. I was interested in this extract after hearing Tim Ferris say it would "LIGHT YOU UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE" on approximately 200 different occasions.
I will say that the smell of the extract is pleasant and it had no taste at all. It does not fully dissolve in liquid though, so if you don't continually stir it will all settle to the bottom and make for a chalky last sip.
I give it 3/5

To start... I had to leave a star off for the seemingly slow delivery. It could have been christmas deliveries or the difficulty with mail where I live it seems, but beyond that, all is going well. I have enjoyed the product. It appears fresh and high quality. I have been dealing with a little attempt of a bug trying grab hold and so far it has not got the strangle-hold on me. Perhaps due to the fungi. Time will tell. I also have interest in its metabolism effects and effects on the brain. As mentioned, time will tell. I am pleased though. So far, so good.
ND Admin: Thanks for the review. However, we checked your order history and tracking, and it doesn't seem like there was a delay. You ordered at 7:15am on Dec 2nd, and we shipped it the same day. It was delivered to you 2 days later on December 4th. That's fast for USPS Priority. Did you mean to select next day shipping?
Natural & effective. I have been using lion's mane almost daily for nearly a year, this particular brand for about 2 months, & I am enjoying the clarity & focus it provides me. I use in combination w other tried & true herbs/mushrooms in my coffees throughout the day & I notice a marked change if I leave this mushroom out of my mix. I get a positive mental fluidity, plus the stamina to chase a 2 year old all day without stuttering by the end of it ;)
and I miss this supplement when I am without it a few days, interestingly, like a light craving. Or do I just miss my mentally stimulating little friend?
I have been taking my LION'S MANE (HERICIUM ERINACEUS) WHOLE FRUITING BODY MEDICINAL MUSHROOM EXTRACT POWDER for well over two weeks now, and I can definitely feel a noticeable difference in my overall mental clarity.
It is also really "tasteless" and goes really well with my lunchtime green smoothies.
This is a high quality product, tastes great, was shipped quickly for cross border shipping and the costs were very good, I highly recommend the product and this company.
hey i mix some in my coffee & makes for good day
This is a high quality product, which can even be tasted and smelled. I love the natural fragrance of this powder. Lion's Mane seems to be a rather subtle nootropic, but I have definitely noticed a some cognitive enhancements after supplementing 1/4 teaspoon daily for several weeks. It has made a great addition to my stack.
I am a huge fan of Nootropics Depot and will continue to purchase from them. The degree of customer service and product care is beautiful.
PC's Lion's Mane powder I bought in the past tasted really really bad and not all like fresh "fruiting bodies". I have harvested and eaten fresh Lion's Mane before in the PNW and this stuff tastes exactly like the wild mushroom!
I really like the (subtle) effects - a calm increase in clarity and desire to learn. Effects for me are similar in nature and magnitude to starting up fish oil after a break. I did not have a super delayed onset as some mention; the effects were noticeable beginning on the second day. I recommend this over -racetams all day long. Goes well with NSI-189...
