Organic Lion's Mane
Powder + Extract Capsules

Hericium erinaceus (Lion's Mane)

Lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus), also known as satyr's beard or bearded hedgehog mushroom, is considered a delicacy in Asia due to its subtly sweet flavour, which is reminiscent of that of crab or lobster. The appearance of this mushroom in the wild is also quite peculiar: its 2-6cm long spines sprout out from the sides of trees and look like white fur or coral. The hairy-looking structure of the mushroom explains its many names, which include pom pom mushroom and monkey's head in addition to the aforementioned. Today's cultivated variants, however, often have shorter spines and more closely resemble sponges than manes.

The mushroom flourishes on tree stumps as well as old or decaying deciduous trees, predominantly in the northern hemisphere. There is evidence to suggest that lion's mane was historically used as a medicinal mushroom not only in Asia, but also by indigenous peoples in North America.

Lion's mane is a nutritious mushroom that contains most of the essential amino acids. Other nutritional compounds found within this mushroom include polysaccharides and beta-glucans, as well as a broad spectrum of over 30 different diterpenes including hericenone and erinacines, which are unique to Hericium erinaceus and are the subject of an increasing number of scientific studies.

Our vital mushrooms are sourced from the esteemed region of Gutian County, Fujian, known for its exceptional quality in vital mushroom cultivation. With an elevation of 600-700 meters above sea level, this area has a long-standing tradition of cultivating vital mushrooms, resulting in unparalleled quality. The combination of special soils, cleverly devised substrates, and the pristine natural environment, nestled within densely forested mountains, ensures a concentrated presence of valuable mushroom ingredients. Our mushrooms thrive naturally in this untouched setting and are meticulously hand-harvested at their peak between the months of July and October.

To preserve the full raw food quality of the mushrooms, we employ a gentle drying process below 40°C. This method retains the integrity of the valuable and delicate mushroom nutrients. To enhance their bioavailability, the dried mushrooms are finely ground using the "shellbroken" grinding technique, enabling us to achieve a remarkably fine size of 0.125mm per grain, extracting the nutritional value from both the cells and the chitinous skeleton of the mushrooms. This meticulous approach ensures the highest possible bioavailability of the valuable compounds. We always process the entire fruiting body of the mushrooms, ensuring that our blend harnessed the full spectrum of valuable natural mushroom substances.

To further concentrate the beneficial beta-glucans present in the mushrooms, we transform the gently dried and finely ground fruiting bodies and stems into an extract. Following traditional methods, we employ water as the sole extraction medium. Water extracts have been an integral part of Chinese tradition and Western herbalism for centuries, serving as a preferred technique for producing plant extracts. This gentle extraction method results in a highly pure extract, completely free from any toxic residues of chemical solvents such as acetone, N-hexane or methanol.
