Best one
So far after trying 3 brands of Lion's Mane this one has the most noticeable neurological benefits. I take them everyday.
Lion’s mane is not only one of the most popular mushrooms, it is also one of the most popular natural nootropics! This is because lion’s mane is chock full of beneficial compounds that help enhance neuroplasticity. These compounds appear to be especially soluble in ethanol, and due to this reason, dual water/ethanol extracts are by far the most preferred form of lion’s mane extract for nootropic effects.
Our 8:1 lion’s mane is a very high quality, fruiting body ONLY extract, which utilizes both water and ethanol during extraction. This helps concentrate the nootropic compounds within lion’s mane, which makes our lion’s mane 8:1 a phenomenal extract for the purposes of enhancing cognitive function!
That all being said, due to the pronounced nootropic effects, it's easy to forget about some of the other amazing benefits of lion’s mane mushroom such as enhancing cardiovascular function, immune health and mood. Our lion’s mane 8:1 will help enhance all of these essential aspects of human health, making our extract a fantastic all rounder for mind and body!
Lion’s mane mushroom, scientifically known as Hericium erinaceus, is a part of the tooth fungus group and is native to North America, Europe and Asia. It’s long been used both for its bioactivity and as a food source. Lion’s mane actually has a texture that is very similar to lobster and crab, so it is no surprise that this is also a very popular culinary mushroom!
Lion’s Mane is easily identifiable from other mushroom species because of their tall spines that can grow over 1cm. These mushrooms naturally grow in dangly clusters on hardwoods, most commonly at the end of summer and early fall in Asia, Europe and North America.
Lion’s Mane Mushroom 8:1 Dual Extract is standardized to a minimum of 15% Beta-Glucan (β-Glucan).
Many different processing methods can be used when creating lion’s mane extracts, each of which has its own unique advantages. For nootropic purposes though, the common consensus is that dual water/ethanol extracts work the best, and we full heartedly agree with this. This is why our potent 8:1 lion’s mane extract utilizes a dual water/ethanol extraction process!
Furthermore, we don’t simply use cheap and ineffective mycelium on grain products, which many mushroom vendors have started to do in recent years. Mycelium on grain products are not representative of the real mushroom whatsoever. In fact, legally, mycelium on grain can’t even be called a mushroom! At Nootropics Depot however, we strictly use ONLY pure high quality lion’s mane fruiting body. This is why our lion’s mane has pronounced acute effects which are not often seen in other lion’s mane products.
In theory, the mycelium of lion’s mane should contain a now quite legendary nootropic compound called Erinacine A, however, we have discovered over the years that this is not as simple as it seems. In fact, through our preliminary research, we have determined that most current commercial mycelium products, especially mycelium on grain products are not very rich sources of erinacine A at all! On the other hand though, high quality lion’s mane fruiting bodies contain lots of different compounds which can have pronounced nootropic effects and these effects are clearly present in our 8:1 lion’s mane fruiting body extract!
You may also be asking yourself, what does 8:1 even mean here? This is because it takes 8kg of raw Lion’s mane mushroom to create just a single kilo of our lion’s mane 8:1 extract. As a result of this high concentration, our lion’s mane 8:1 has pronounced nootropic effects. However, our lion’s mane 8:1 should also concentrate the various different beneficial compounds in lion’s mane which have beneficial effects on cardiovascular function and mood!

Seems to have a noticeable effect on my mood and stress, also provides a sense of mental clarity and alertness. I've found this can disrupt sleep if taken too late so I take this first thing in the morning. I've found this 8:1 extract comparable to a much more expensive Lion's Mane supplement.
I’m so fatigued. I’m on day 2 of taking this, and I can’t get anything done, can’t think. Terrible.
I am new to nootropics, but have read alot about Lion Mane extract. So I have 8:1 a try, and I will certainly buy in the future! It gave me great focus (I played some chess and I went up like +103 rating within an hour!!! (ranked 3 min) and also improved my score with chess puzzles from 1080 to 1211 within less than half an hour (I just started out)) and also helped my brother with a project. It gave me other benefits, but the focus part was the most noticable for me! Have so far only tried 2ct for 2 days (1ct per day): I will continue to experiment to see if I find some more interesting results. Thank you so far for the product Nootropic Depot :) Good service as well!
It seems effective for mental fogginess and cognitive fatigue, but consult your doctor before combining with medications! Often induces certain lucidity on its own but of course works best with environmental enrichment since those presumably brand new synapses require stimuli to strengthen and to provide meaningful processing capacity. One per day with food is a good starting dose and breaks are a good idea to avoid a kind of messy excitation with diminishing returns. Combine with aerobic exercise and a healthy diet.
I bought this around a month ago and started taking it daily. I forgot about it honestly because it was part of my regimen every night. After about two weeks I started to remember things I had forgotten about and was even able to open an old email account that I had lost access to! I started having dreams about old friends and family. It was only then that I had remembered that I had been taking these capsules. I will be buying again!
Definitely top quality and effective. You absolutely do have to take this religiously, every day, don’t skip out, and within two weeks You’ll notice a pretty dramatic difference. I’ve been able to remember MULTIPLE dreams every night. I’ve been able to articulate my thoughts and feeling much better. I’ve been sharper. Far less of the brain fog. And I’ve been taking this for 16 days now. On top of my already daily intake of Curcumin and vitamin D and K... It’s a wonderful mushroom that I feel everyone ought to invest in. But as I said, You got to take it every day in order to feel a true difference within that two week period. Set an alarm each day. Do whatever. Do t forget. It definitely worth it
I take 5-6 of these capsules per day after reading some studies on the therapeutic dose for certain situations, and it has vastly improved my quality of life. my focus and mood is enhanced and my energy is better. I have taken Lion's Mane from other vendors and felt nothing, but I feel this immediately. for a normal person just 1-2 caps the whole day would work wonders, I just specifically take more due to my situation. excellent product would recommend.
Love it! Helps me stay focused and removes any creative blocks that come my way. Recommend it to everyone!
Extremely fast delivery, and probably the best Lion's Mane product I've ever consumed. I've been taking it for 4 months now and definitely feel the effects. It gives a little upgrade to my cognitive abilities. It's not magic, but that tiny upgrade is all you could ever want from a Nootropic. Don't hesitate in ordering from ND.
I notice when I take these, it is a notable calming feeling for me. Taking one when I start my day really makes the day feel more clear.
Does absolutely nothing, almost not even worth buying
I read that it took a while to notice the effects, but after only 48 hours (4 capsules), I was feeling calmer, clearer, and happier. Now, 4 weeks later, I'm still enjoying the same benefits and they have not faded! Great price too! Will be buying again!
Surprised by the high quality. It is the real deal. I actually experienced some anxiousness after a week but reduced the dose to 250mg, half of the recommended and found it worked well without the side effect.
I've been taking this product consistently for the past 6 months and can confirm that my cognition and memory has improved. I can think clearly and formulate my thoughts and words better than I have, and the brain fog I had is no longer present. Definitely feel this is one of the higher quality Lion's Mane you can purchase anywhere considering most of what you get elsewhere is fillers and not the actual product.
A really good product. It takes a few days to kick in but when it does you notice. My recall improved significantly. I was trying to remember the ring tone on one of my first cell phones and the model number of the phone (Samsung R220) just pops into my head!
I’ve only been taking this Lion’s Mane 8:1 for 3 days and everyday I’ve had wonderful results. I’ve been plagued with anxiousness my whole life, but I haven’t been anxious at all since taking it. Not only has it improved my mood, but I definitely notice the increase in cognitive functions (in particular better speech/conversations). Sign me up for a life time supply!
Product came in handy. I heard it’s good to take before bed too!
I definitely felt my memory improve over the nearly 2 week period I used these caps, only downside for me was they exacerbated my allergies pretty badly. I take Zyrtec daily for seasonal/pollen allergies and normally that does the job but when I was taking this extract I would have a consistently runny and congested nose that'd only worsen as my Zyrtec wore off. A day and a half after ceasing use my allergies returned to normal.
