Ecogenya Continental Lion's Mane (hericium erinaceus) Mushroom Extract Powder - | Highly Concentrated

Our Lion's Mane extract stands out due to its high beta-glucan content (35%), 97% water solubility, and the use of the fruiting body rather than the mycelium. Additionally, our commitment to organic farming practices and third-party testing ensures that you're getting a pure and potent product. We prioritize quality and transparency, making our extract one of the best options on the market for those seeking cognitive and overall health support.

Lion's Mane is often compared to other popular nootropics, such as Bacopa Monnieri, Ginkgo Biloba, and Rhodiola Rosea. While many nootropics work by enhancing neurotransmitter function or reducing stress, Lion's Mane is unique in its ability to promote the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which supports nerve health and cognitive function at a deeper level. Many users choose to stack Lion's Mane with other nootropics to create a well-rounded cognitive support regimen.

We test for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial content, ensuring that you receive a clean and safe product. The extract is also tested to confirm its beta-glucan content and water solubility.

Hericenones and erinacines are two types of compounds found in Lion's Mane that have been shown to promote the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). Hericenones are primarily found in the fruiting body, while erinacines are found in the mycelium. These compounds are believed to be responsible for Lion's Mane's ability to support cognitive function, nerve regeneration, and overall brain health. Our extract, made from the fruiting body, ensures you're getting a high concentration of these beneficial compounds.

Lion's Mane extract can be derived from both the fruiting body (the mushroom itself) and the mycelium (the root-like structure). Our extract is made exclusively from the fruiting body, which is considered the most potent part of the mushroom. The fruiting body contains higher concentrations of beneficial compounds, such as beta-glucans, hericenones, and erinacines, which are key to supporting cognitive and nerve health. Mycelium-based products, on the other hand, may contain lower levels of these active compounds, and are often grown on grain, which can dilute the potency.

To maintain the freshness and potency of your Lion's Mane extract, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent exposure to air, which can degrade the quality of the powder over time.

Lion's Mane is generally well-tolerated, but as with any supplement, some individuals may experience mild side effects, such as digestive discomfort or allergic reactions. These reactions are rare, but if you experience any adverse effects, it’s best to discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

Our Lion's Mane extract undergoes a triple-extraction process, which ensures that we capture all the valuable compounds, including beta-glucans, hericenones, and erinacines. This method involves hot water, alcohol, and fermentation to extract both water-soluble and fat-soluble compounds.

The result is a highly potent extract with 35% beta-glucans and 97% water solubility, making it one of the most bioavailable Lion's Mane supplements on the market. The use of the fruiting body, rather than the mycelium, ensures that you’re getting the most effective and potent part of the mushroom.
