The compounds of interest found in Lion’s Mane mushroom include Hericenones, Erinacines, (1-3)(1-6)Beta-d-Glucans. Thanks to these powerful compounds, the Lion’s Mane mushroom is known to
Our organic Lion’s Mane is grown in Southern Finland on Finnish birch substrate. The substrate is FSC or PEFC certified for our commitment to sustainable forest practices.
The mushrooms go through an advanced extraction process to create potent mushroom extracts. Cutting edge mushroom innovation and supply chain transparency are our main priorities. We can pinpoint exactly where our mushrooms come from.
Our Lion’s Mane dual extract tincture undergoes both water and alcohol extraction, giving you the most this powerful plant has to offer. The end product contains 25% alcohol, making the quality of the compounds of interest remain intact for up to 3 years.
Plus, we’re proud to be the leading users of Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE) — a soundwave-based, environmentally friendly process that both increases the amount of bioavailable nutrients and helps make extracted compounds digestible.
Mycelium is the roots or underground threading of the mushroom while the fruiting body is the part above the ground that spreads spores in order to reproduce.
More often than not grain-grown mushroom extract is not a mushroom at all but rather a myceliated grain. While myceliated extract isn’t bad for you – containing approx. 80% of grain, it’s definitely not as beneficial as the fruiting body is. Grain-grown mycelium doesn’t contain a near number of beta-d-glucans or other compounds that the fruiting body does.
Both tincture and capsules enter your system quickly, but capsules must travel through the digestive tract thus elongating the absorption process by 20-30 minutes.
Dropping tincture under your tongue allows the mucous membranes in your mouth to instantly absorb the good stuff.
Essentially it also comes down to preference, as tinctures are not everyone’s cup of tea.
All the good compounds found in mushrooms lie in the chitin – or mushroom wall. Extraction process breaks down that wall making the compounds bioavailable, i.e absorbable for us. Without extraction the mushroom would pass through our digestive system untapped. So, in order to get the full spectrum of benefits we extract with alcohol to release triterpenes and with water to release beta-glucans. Adding industry leading Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE) technology into the mix, we’re ensuring the mightiest and most potent mushroom extract available.
For our mushroom tinctures we use Miron glass violet bottles, a unique scientifically researched type of glass packaging known as biophotonic. This researched violet glass protects, prolongs and revitalises the energy stored inside the natural ingredients in the product. Miron glass also filters out harmful rays while filtering in infrared, ultraviolet and violet lights, which prolongs the shelf life and efficacy of the product. Due to a particular mix of minerals present inside the Miron glass, this bottle also ensures optimal preservation of the nutrients.
