Description

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 Mushroom 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.

    Excellent Product

    This product is excellent. I make my own capsules with it and it is always fresh and potent. It is great for your immune system and brain. Highly recommended.

    Lion's Mane brain clarity

    Ordered this to recover from some heavy stimulant abuse. Lion's mane definitely cut through the laggy haze (drug damage) my thinking processes were going through. Notably more attentive and can wrap my head around the complexities of subjects without needing as much revision as before. Totally helped with in-class learning, less of an application for productivity or task completion. The mood stabilizing effects came at the cost of my libido... only real complaint

    Good quality

    While I am not an expert on mushrooms, Nootropics depot has a consistently good product in the Lion's Mane. I do prefer the capsules for only a little bit more price, but the powder is great too. Lion's Mane has been used for thousands of years as a whole body tonic, and even modern science has been intrigued by it's apparent stimulation of BDNF expression. Best of all, it comes straight from the Earth, not a drug company lab! Bravo.

    brain fog clearer

    My friend and I have felt the benefits of this one mushroom extract. I gave this and cordyceps once before a work out and he said he can think better for the next couple of days. He liked the results so much that he bought himself some too.

    Energy, motivation & mood

    This stuff will keep you going! I don’t normally write reviews but if you have a demanding job or daily regiment & need something to keep you pretty hyped & motivated...look no further! Pros: energy, motivation & mood elevator. Cons: focus is kind of loose so your energy is kind of all over (at least it was for me..was energized but easily distracted) & stress wasn’t effected so irritability would sometimes be a bit overwhelming but I have a propensity towards both of these things so these negatives could just be my own personal experience...overall a great supp & great delivery fromND

    Fair Price

    I would mention that Im from Hungary, where Lion's Mane naturally can grow in the forest. I calculated, but still seems that there is no better price for the Lion's Mane powder, than in ND. Semms more trustable than buy it on the local market, and thats why i choose ND, and the local producer sells more expensive the bio LM powder in the "Vásárcsarnok", so no more question, seems the best place to buy this product. Thank you for your work.

    Best Lion's mane product I've had.

    I've used host defense, northspore, as well as genius supplements brand Lion's mane and this by far is the best I've ever had. They are all great, (except genius brand), but this product is of superior quality. Less is more, thus I noticed much better results when I started with the dosage I was used to with the other brands. I started ordering from ND 3 months ago and I was hooked from the get-go. Top quality products sold at lower prices than the competitors, accompanied by lightening fast shipping and awesome customer service.

    Psychological growth, sexual endurance, insomnia

    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.

    Groovy Vibes

    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.

    Awesome Products

    Was skeptical, but definitely helped with my fatigue from another medication.

    Works for me

    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.

    Smooth, Energized Motivation and Focus, Positive Mood Boost

    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

    Good product

    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.

    Benefit of the doubt

    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.
