Description

Lion's Mane Fruiting Body Extract Powder

Lion's Mane fruiting body extract powder is derived exclusively from the aerial, reproductive structure of Hericium erinaceus - the mushroom cap and stem - distinguishing it from mycelium-based products. This source is critical because the fruiting body contains the specific bioactive profile associated with nerve growth factor (NGF) stimulation and cognitive support.

🧠 The "NGF-Stimulating" Power from the Fruiting Body: Our extract is produced solely from the fruiting body, not from mycelium grown on grain. Studies demonstrate that the fruiting body is the primary source of hericenones C–H, the phenolic compounds responsible for the mushroom's neuroprotective and antioxidant activities. Hericenones have been shown to stimulate NGF synthesis, which plays a critical role in the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons.

Dual Extraction for Full Spectrum Activity: Our extract is typically produced using a dual water/alcohol extraction method to capture both water-soluble polysaccharides and alcohol-soluble hericenones. This process ensures a comprehensive bioactive profile that traditional single-extraction methods cannot achieve.

📌 Fruiting Body vs. Mycelium: Our product is 100% fruiting body extract, ensuring the presence of hericenones and full-spectrum bioactives. Mycelium-based products may contain erinacines but have a different bioactive profile.

Potent Antioxidant and Neuroprotective Action: An ethanol extract of Lion's Mane fruiting bodies has been shown to exhibit remarkable, concentration-dependent protection against DNA damage induced by hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals. In vivo studies demonstrate significant antioxidant activity, including increased superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione levels.

Sourcing & Production: Our Lion's Mane extract is produced from organically grown fruiting bodies, standardized to guarantee levels of polysaccharides and hericenones, and rigorously tested for heavy metals and microbial contamination.

Benefits of Lion's Mane Fruiting Body Extract Powder

01NGF Stimulation & Neurogenesis

Lion's Mane fruiting body extract supports the synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) through its hericenone content. NGF is essential for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons, particularly within the basal forebrain cholinergic system.

02Cognitive Enhancement & Neuroprotection

A standardized extract significantly increases cognitive performance - improving recognition index, spontaneous alternation, and BDNF immunoreactivity. Activates neuroplasticity-related signaling proteins including BDNF, CREB, and ERK.

03Potent Antioxidant Defense

Ethanol extract protects against oxidative DNA damage from hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals. Increases SOD activity by 23.1%, catalase by 10.6%, and GSH levels by up to 228.7%.

04Immune System Modulation

Water-soluble cell wall polysaccharides support a healthy immune response. Studies indicate alkali-soluble polysaccharides have higher macrophage activation activity in vitro.

05Gut-Immune-Brain Axis

The beta-glucan polysaccharides provide prebiotic benefits, supporting a healthy gut microbiome, which in turn supports mood, cognitive function, and immune resilience.

06Fruiting Body Source - Hericenone Rich

Derived exclusively from the fruiting body (not mycelium on grain), ensuring the presence of hericenones C–H and full-spectrum bioactives. Verified by qNMR at ≥0.43% relative content.

Application Fields

Dietary Supplements (Hero Application): Memory & focus capsules & tablets, NGF & neuroplasticity blends, focus & concentration formulas, stress & sleep support, powdered drink mixes, gummies & chewables.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between fruiting body extract and mycelium extract?

A: Fruiting body extract is derived from the mushroom cap and stem-the reproductive structure that grows above ground-and contains hericenones (NGF-stimulating compounds) and polysaccharides. Mycelium extract is derived from the root-like structure, which may be grown on grain and contains erinacines (also NGF-stimulating) but has a different bioactive profile. Our product is 100% fruiting body extract, ensuring the presence of hericenones and full-spectrum bioactives.

Q2: What is the recommended daily dose?

A: Typical doses range from 500 mg to 3,000 mg per day of the extract powder, depending on the polysaccharide and hericenone content. For dual extracts, a common dose is 1,000 mg per day. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

Q3: How long does it take to see benefits?

A: Lion's Mane is a cumulative adaptogen. While some individuals report improved focus within the first week, the full cognitive and neuroprotective benefits typically manifest after 4–8 weeks of consistent daily use. Clinical studies on cognitive function have used a 45-day duration.

Q4: Does Lion's Mane fruiting body extract have a bitter taste?

A: It has a characteristic, mildly earthy mushroom flavor. It can be easily added to coffee, tea, smoothies, or protein shakes to mask the taste.

Q5: Is Lion's Mane fruiting body extract safe?

A: It has an excellent safety profile and is considered safe for healthy adults at recommended doses. Studies have shown no genotoxic effects at tested concentrations up to 20 mg/mL, and significant in vivo antioxidant activity at concentrations up to 2.5 mg/mL. Not suitable for children, pregnant, or breastfeeding women without professional guidance.

Q6: Is Lion's Mane fruiting body extract vegan?

A: Yes, it is derived from mushrooms (fungi), making it 100% vegan and suitable for plant-based diets.

Q7: What is the shelf life?

A: 24 months in original sealed container under cool, dry conditions (≤25°C, ≤60% RH). Once opened, use within 12 months and keep container tightly sealed.

Q8: Can Lion's Mane fruiting body extract be used in clear liquid supplements?

A: Lion's Mane extract is partially soluble in water. It may form a slight suspension or sediment in clear liquids. It is best suited for capsules, tablets, powder blends, coffee/tea mixes, and opaque beverages.

Q9: Does Lion's Mane interact with other medications?

A: As with any supplement, consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if taking medications for depression, anxiety, or blood pressure. Lion's Mane is generally considered safe and does not have known major interactions, but professional guidance is recommended.

Q10: What are hericenones and why are they important?

A: Hericenones are phenolic compounds found in the fruiting body of Lion's Mane that stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) synthesis. NGF is essential for neuronal growth, maintenance, and survival. Our extract is verified by qNMR to contain ≥0.43% hericenones relative content.

Q11: Can Lion's Mane be combined with other mushrooms?

A: Yes - it is often combined with Reishi, Cordyceps, Chaga, and Turkey Tail for synergistic immune, cognitive, and energy support.

Q12: Is Lion's Mane suitable for gummies?

A: Yes - with proper formulation. Its characteristic earthy/mushroom taste can be masked with flavors. Our formulation team can advise on taste masking.
