Lion’s mane, Hericium erinaceus, is an edible mushroom that grows throughout the Northern Hemisphere, thriving on dead or dying hardwoods. Its common name is derived from its appearance, growing in a clump of white, hair-like spines that cascade from its base. The extract powder can be used as a daily tonic added to drink mixes, soups, and broths.

In Asian countries such as Korea, Japan, India and China, lion’s mane has been used for centuries in cooking, as well as traditional medicine. Packed with vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, it’s a very nutritious supplement, while also being a source of essential minerals like manganese, zinc, and potassium. Lion’s mane has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries as a digestive aid and has more recently been studied for other wellness supporting properties, specifically as a nerve tonic. 

Our one-to-one lion’s mane extract powder starts with mushrooms that are cultivated in climate-controlled greenhouses on grain-free sawdust substrates. After harvest they are made into a fine whole mushroom powder that is then extracted in water at 90°-100° C for three hours. When this decoction is complete, the water is evaporated producing a concentrated fluid. With the mushroom powder still in the fluid state it is sent to a spray drier which produces a fine powder. In this process the raw material is never removed from the extraction. This makes for a more bio-available product than simply powdered mushrooms, which need to be cooked or further processed in order to release the beneficial properties.
