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.

    Not a strong effect for me

    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 -Brett

    Good Stuff

    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?

    good stuff!

    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?

    Highly Satisfactory Product

    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.

    great stuff

    hey i mix some in my coffee & makes for good day

    Yay

    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.

    Works well, doesn't taste like ass

    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...

    Great

    Will not buy from anyone else. Nootropics depot definitely has the best quality. One of the most effective supplements I've taken.

    As someone with cognitive impairments, this is helping.

    So far, I have felt much clearer headed, more in touch with my emotions, and enhanced mood. I would be interested to know how this product will impact me after a several months of use.

    I was skeptical, but I think it works

    It is hard to evaluate this because of the long action and the other supplements I have been experimenting with.

    Wow!

    I really love this new lions mane extract. I really like the old 10:1 version, but decided to try this one after reading through their blog post. I am glad I did. Lions mane does take a week or two to build up in your system, and this extract is no different. However, I notice my memory and mood improving on it, and just feel all around healthier when taking it. I've since started trying other mushroom extracts, and will review those as well. But I will definitely keep this a part of my daily routine.

    Great for Nerve Regeneration

    After a turbinectomy surgery, my nose started to feel hollow/empty because the nerve endings were cut off. After using this product for a month, I can clearly say that there's progress. Maybe not a miracle but I'm getting there. Would suggest anyone with peripheral nerve injuries.

    yum

    I actually look forward to taking this because it smells good and has a very natural and tasty...taste haha. I take roughly 800mg along with about 500mg of the ND lion's mane extract with two ksm-66 caps before bed and it knocks me right out. Has my memory improved? I dunno, but it tastes good and helps me sleep so I'll keep buying it. It'd be pretty cool if you guys could blend the two powders for me though. I'm not sure if particle size and density might make that difficult but if it's possible....and it has me opening one lid instead of two every night....totally should start doing that ;)...omg, throw the ksm-66 in there also! Memory improved? Still not sure, but cognitive abilities? I just threw down some genius level sh*t!
