Lion's Mane 120 Capsules

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a functional mushroom used in traditional East Asian medicine for over a thousand years. It contains two unique compound classes — hericenones and erinacines — that have been shown in preclinical research to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a protein involved in nerve cell growth and maintenance. No other commercially available mushroom has this documented NGF connection.

Yes. Our Lion's Mane capsules are 100% vegan with an HPMC capsule shell — no gelatin or animal-derived ingredients. We use certified organic fruiting body extract, free from fillers, binders or additives.

We use concentrated mushroom extract, primarily from the fruiting body where hericenones are concentrated. Every batch is third-party tested by an independent laboratory, and the certificate of analysis is published openly. Rather than exaggerated claims, we focus on transparency, verified beta-glucan content and suitability for daily use.

Take 2 capsules daily (900 mg) with or without food. Many people prefer the morning or late morning, as Lion's Mane is not sedating and may support mental clarity throughout the day. Start with 1 capsule for the first week or two to assess your individual response.

Lion's Mane is generally well tolerated. Some people may experience mild digestive sensitivity, particularly at higher doses or on an empty stomach. If you have a known allergy to mushrooms, consult a healthcare provider before use. If you take prescription medication, especially anticoagulants, speak with your doctor first.

Yes. Lion's Mane does not typically require cycling. Most clinical studies use 8 to 16 weeks of continuous daily intake, and the effects appear to build over time. As always, consult a healthcare provider if you have underlying conditions or are taking medication.

Our Lion's Mane uses a concentrated mushroom extract, water-extracted to preserve naturally occurring beta-glucans and hericenones. Each batch is independently lab tested for heavy metals, microbial contamination and active compound levels.

Lion's Mane is not a fast-acting stimulant — the effects build gradually with consistent use. Many users report noticing differences in focus and mental clarity after 2 to 4 weeks. Clinical studies showing significant results used 8 to 16 weeks of daily supplementation. Consistency is key.

Lion's Mane has been associated in preclinical research with supporting Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) production, which plays a role in nerve cell maintenance. Some users report subjective improvements in mental clarity after consistent use. However, we cannot claim that Lion's Mane "treats" brain fog. Consult your doctor if you experience persistent cognitive symptoms.

Yes, Lion's Mane is generally well tolerated when taken daily at recommended doses. Most clinical studies use 8 to 16 weeks of continuous daily intake without reported issues. It does not typically require cycling. As always, consult a healthcare provider if you have pre-existing conditions or take medication.
