Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a distinctive edible mushroom that grows on aged hardwood trees. Due to its protected status in parts of Europe, including the UK, MycoNutri™ Lion’s Mane is produced exclusively from cultivated H. erinaceus.
Lion’s Mane contains a diverse range of active compounds, including diterpenoid erinacines, benzaldehyde hericenones, and beta-glucans. These compounds have been the focus of clinical research for their potential neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and neuroregenerative effects, with particular relevance to cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and peripheral nerve regeneration.
MycoNutri™ Lion’s Mane combines vacuum-concentrated and spray-dried alcohol and hot-water extracts for full-spectrum activity.
"Full-spectrum" refers to the inclusion of a comprehensive range of primary and secondary metabolites that naturally occur throughout the mushroom's growth stages. These metabolites are concentrated through multiple complementary extraction methods. The full-spectrum extract contains a wide array of primary and secondary metabolites, contributing to broad-spectrum activity and synergistic physiological effects.
The key compounds found within MycoNutri’s Lion’s Mane Full Spectrum Extract are:
Hericenones – found in the fruiting body; associated with support for cognitive performance and neuroprotection.
Erinacines – a distinct group of compounds known to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), present in advanced extracts derived from multiple stages of the mushroom's development.
Beta-glucans – immunomodulatory polysaccharides with well-documented effects on host immune response.
Suggested Functions:
Supports normal immune system function
Contributes to healthy digestive processes
Traditionally used to support cognitive performance and mental clarity
