Hericium erinaceus, also known as Lion’s Mane, is an edible mushroom that belongs to the tooth fungus group. Lion’s mane mushroom is native to Asia, North America, and Europe. Lion’s mane grows in clusters and has long spines that lend it nicknames like the pom pom mushroom, bearded tooth mushroom, satyr’s beard, bearded hedgehog mushroom, or bearded tooth fungus. In the wild, these mushrooms grow late in the summer and early fall on hardwood trees. The American Beech tree is known for being home to Lion’s mane mushroom clusters.
Hericium erinaceus has a long history of use in traditional Chinese practices. A rat study conducted in 2005 showed some compounds in the mushroom, like threitol, D-arabinitol, and palmitic acid, may have oxidation regulating benefits. More recently and more relevant to human use, is a 2013 review of scientific studies, which asserted the benefits of the mushroom by saying "This mushroom is rich in some physiologically important components, especially β-glucan polysaccharides, which may support healthy cellular function, promote immunity and health, and display neuro-protective benefits."
Hericium erinaceus carries a multitude of polysaccharides, such as Beta glucan, heteroglycans, heteroxylans, and several cyanthane derivative triterpenes referred to as hericenone and erinacine. The 8:1 lion's mane extract is created from a dual extract solvent method using both water and ethanol. Various compounds within lions mane are only soluble in ethanol. The hericenones that promote cognitive, cardiovascular, and mitochondrial health are only ethanol soluble. Lion’s mane mushroom research has found specific hericenones believed to be responsible for these benefits. These hericenones are known as 3-hydroxyhericenone F, Hericenone B, and Hericenones C, D & E. This extract is referred to as 8:1 because you need 8kg of raw lion's mane mushroom to produce a single kilo of lions mane 8:1 extract. The hericenone and erinacine compounds are considered to be responsible for the cognitive benefits of this species.
Beta-Glugan (β-Glucan) minimum content: 15%
As a dietary supplement, take 500mg of Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract Powder 1-2 times daily.

I capsule the powder myself or mix it in with a smoothie or drink of some form. Works great to help keep my memory sharp and lift my mood. I'm interested in trying their other mushroom products as well.
Taking with Bacopa- I have definitely experienced an improvement in my cognition- 59 year old male.

I love this stuff, it works!. Brain fog gone. Your brain just feels more way more accessible and put together. Im writing this review now that I've run out, I definitely noticed a relapse into mild brain fog. The 8:1 extract works fully at around 800mgs, more is not necessarily better, and this is my sweet spot (170lb M)
Why is the 8:1 extract lower in beta-glugan than the 1:1. Is the 1:1 stronger and more effective? if it is 8:1 extract means that is 8 times stronger? ND Admin: The Megazyme beta glucan testing gives the results for 1,3 through 1,6 beta glucans. There are cellulose based 1,4 beta glucans that show up in the testing for the 1:1 extract. They have their own effects, but are not the primary beta glucans you are interested in for lion's mane. The 8:1 does not pull those 1,4 beta glucans over. So it concentrates the 1,3 and 1,6 beta glucans. You get less total beta glucans, but your are getting more of the really good ones. It also concentrates other compounds, like erinacines and hericenones. However, there are no qualified reference standards for those yet. Therefore, we are unable to properly quantify the exact numbers. We are working to improve the methods and reference standards to get these numbers validated, though.
My biggest fear was not wanting to get ripped off so I did a lot of research. Lions Mane from Nootropics is the best quality hands down. I like the fact they hype it up but give the facts. My memory is better and I am clearer in my thoughts. I noticed an improvement after 2 to 3 weeks of use. Now I'm a repeat customer!
This product has some issue with clumping, that is why only 4 stars. More potent than other brands I’ve tried. I already placed my next order, got the 60grams this time!
I am really happy with this Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract powder and I find it mixes well with my morning smoothie and I feel it helps provide energy and clarity throughout my day.
Incredible the speed with which NootropicsDepot works, I placed my order and after 6 minutes they sent it to me, great company and great products, I am a fixed client !!!
