Lions mane
This stuff is amazing for focus, definitely can feel it when you take just 1 capsule. High quality 100%
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!

Hey there Nootropics world, this stuff is great! It's probably doing something, not sure. But I appreciate the invisible anyway!
This is the most effective lions mane I have ever tried. My mood and memory are better while taking it and I don't get any side effects. I tried ND's other lions mane but did not like it as much. This 8:1 is where it is at.
So I've been taking 1 capsule/day for 2 weeks. The pros are that I do feel it affecting my cognition and recall ability in a very positive way. Also, unlike most of the reports I've read, it has increased my libido ever so slightly. However, the biggest con I've been dealing with it made me feel anxious. Given this, I'm deciding to stop taking it. It's a bummer bc again, I do appreciate the cognition benefits, but not being able to control my anxiousness while taking this is a no go for me. Better luck to everyone else!
gives me more motivation throughout the day.
Great product. I noticed a subtle yet distinct change in my demeanor and memory after a few weeks of supplementation.
This is the only Lion's Mane supplement I've found that works as advertised. Considering that it's advertised to be nearly a neurotrophic Holy Grail, that's quite the achievement.
This is the second of two lions mane products I've tried. The first one I tried was the whole fruiting body and mycelium from myriadmycology.com. I did it for two cycles of 6 months each. It has a noticeable affect, however, doesn't come close to the ND extract. This stuff is way more potent, and I'm only a month or so into it. Of the two I've tried, this one is better and overall very good.
Great product! You can feel the change
LM was effective for me but not in a good way. Made me so chill, bordered on apathy. Killed my libido. Was taking along with cordyceps. Cordyceps was fine but no major impact.
I take this extract once a day in combination with the non-extract in the morning and both my wife and I have noticed an increase in our mental capacity. I think this supplement is helpful for progressing through life and implementing positive changes while learning and adapting.
