Scientific name: Hericium erinaceus Other names: Lions mane, monkey head mushroom, bearded tooth mushroom, satyr's beard, bearded hedgehog mushroom, pom pom mushroom, or bearded tooth fungus Family: Hericiaceae Parts used: Fruiting body and mycelium. AKA “The Student Mushroom”, is believed to work with the central nervous system and support healthy brain functions, like memory and focus. Some studies have identified a Nerve Growth Factor in Lions Mane leading to an interest in its potential for promoting neurogenesis. Benefits of Lion's Mane: AntidiabeticAnti-inflammatoryAntioxidantCognitive enhancementImmunomodulatoryNeuroprotective Our farm partners have been growing and extracting mushrooms for 40+ years and mushroom powders simply do not get any better then this. In addition to taking steps to ensure purity and a high constituent content, we are also concerned about providing mushroom products in which the constituents are in a bioavailable form. The main constituents of mushrooms, the 1,3-Beta Glucans, are tightly bound to the cell walls and have a low degree of bioavailability in raw mushrooms. To overcome this and increase the bioavailability of the constituents, all of our mushrooms undergo a steam activation process that breaks down the cell walls and frees the 1,3-Beta Glucans from the chitin. Our mushroom tinctures are triple extracted. First the mushrooms are fermented to make the Polysaccharides, Triterpenoids, and Alkaloids, more bio-available. Second, a hot water extraction, because Polysaccharides are only water soluble. And third, 90 days in alcohol, because Triterpenoids are only alcohol soluble.
