Their extracts often used in over-the-counter health supplements. Many describe their flavor as “seafood-like,” often comparing it to crab or lobster. Lion’s mane mushrooms contain bioactive substances that have beneficial effects on the body, especially the brain, heart and gut. Here are 9 health benefits of lion’s mane mushrooms and their extracts.

• ★ SUPERCHARGE YOUR BRAIN – Lions Mane Mushroom is one of the ultimate substances for your health. It has been scientifically shown to increase immune function, boost brain activity, increase production of Nerve Growth Factor and even reduce stress! It’s no wonder Lion’s Mane is one of the most popular health promoting products in the world, its benefits are legendary!
• ★ Whole Mushroom Fruiting Bodiest – Our Lion’s Mane is far superior to 99% of the other Lion’s Mane products on the market. That’s because our extract is made from the FRUITING BODY part of the mushroom, NOT mycellium. Mycellium are little tendrils that grow in grain or wood where the Fruiting Body is the actually “mushroom” part of the organism which has been revered for millennia! Our Lion’s Mane extract comes from ONLY fruiting bodies.
• ★ Standardized to >35% Beta-Glucans – Beta Glucans are the active constituent in Lion’s Mane that gives it all of it’s amazing benefits. Most Lion’s Mane products are either just ground lion’s mane mushrooms (which are useless and indigestible) or are standardized to polysaccharide content. Unfortunately that type of extract is primarily the GRAIN that the mushroom grew on. Our extract is extracted for full bio-availability and standardized to a very high percentage of active constituent.
• ★ NO BINDERS, FILLERS, OR HARSH SOLVENTS – Our Lion’s extract is a 100% natural, vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free. It has been hot water extract without the use of solvents and contains absolutely no binders, fillers, or excipients of any kind. Just pure, potent, Lion’s Mane.
