Lions Mane Extract 10:1

Lions Mane Extract 10:1

Lion's Mane is a medicinal mushroom with distinctive cascading spines resembling a lion's mane. The 10:1 extract is highly concentrated, meaning 10kg of fresh mushroom yields 1kg of extract. It is renowned for its neuroregenerative properties, supporting cognitive function and nerve health. Hericenones (from fruiting body), erinacines (from mycelium), beta-glucans, polysaccharides, hericerin, ergosterolPromotes nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis supporting neurogenesis Enhances cognitive function, memory, and mental clarity Supports digestive health by protecting gastric mucosa Hericenones and erinacines stimulate NGF production via activation of TrkA receptors beta-glucans modulate immune function polysaccharides exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects supports myelin sheath integrity. Traditional use in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Japanese cuisine for centuries as a brain tonic and digestive aid known as Yamabushitake in Japan. Cognitive decline support (mild dementia, MCI), peripheral neuropathy, mood disorders (anxiety, depression), gastric ulcer protection, immune modulation. NGF-stimulating compounds cross blood-brain barrier beta-glucans absorbed via M-cells in gut mushroom extracts require hot water or dual extraction for polysaccharide bioavailability. Pairs with other medicinal mushrooms (reishi, cordyceps for synergistic adaptogenic effects), omega-3s (neuroprotection synergy), bacopa monnieri (cognitive enhancement). Consistent daily use for neuroregenerative benefits effects cumulative over weeks to months can be taken with or without food dual extraction recommended for full spectrum. Generally safe mild digestive adjustment possible caution in autoimmune conditions (immune-stimulating effects) safe for long-term use. Look for 10:1 extract specification, dual-extracted (hot water + alcohol) for full spectrum, beta-glucan content testing (minimum 30%), fruiting body source (hericenones), third-party testing.
