Description
Lion’s Mane 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 present throughout the mushroom’s growth stages. These metabolites are then concentrated through multiple complementary extraction methods. Our ‘Full spectrum extract’ contains a wide array of primary and secondary metabolites, contributing to the extract’s broad-spectrum activity and synergy across multiple physiological systems.
The key compounds found within ‘MycoNutri’s Lions 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.
