Lion’s mane mushroom has shown great promise in combating neurological degenerative disorders. A double-blind placebo-controlled trial of 50-80 year old Japanese adults diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment showed marked improvement in cognitive function, as measured by the revised Hasegawa Dementia Scale (HDS-R), when compared to controls, following oral intake of H. erinaceus. In a behavior test on mice, oral supplementation with H. erinaceus induced a statistically significant improvement in spatial short-term and visual recognition memory.
Our organic mushroom extracts are prepared using a hot water extraction method, to ensure bioavailability of the beneficial polysaccharide constituents, and contain only 100% pure fruiting body. We scientifically verify and ensure, via 3rd party testing, beta-D-glucan percents, and our extracts contain absolutely no grains, rice, or fillers. This is unlike many other medicinal mushroom extracts, which are actually just the mushroom root structure (mycelium) grown on grain, and do not contain the actual fruiting body. Our Lion’s mane mushroom extract is guaranteed to contain > 25% Beta-D-glucan content.
