Lion's Mane Capsules.

Hericium erinaceus, the lion's mane mushroom — a shaggy white cascade of icicle-like spines that grows from wounds in living or fallen hardwood, looking more like a frozen waterfall than a fungus. This extract is drawn only from the true fruiting body, never the cheaper grain-grown mycelium sold under the same name, and processed as an 8:1 dual extract that pulls out both the water-soluble polysaccharides and the alcohol-soluble compounds the mushroom holds.

Lion's mane has a long place in East Asian cooking and medicine alike, served whole in Buddhist monastery kitchens as a meat substitute and, separately, valued by scholars sitting long examinations for the clarity it was thought to lend a tired mind. Japanese herbalists called it yamabushitake, after the mountain ascetics whose shaggy white robes it resembles.

Two capsules in the morning, when the mind is still empty and has the most use for whatever clarity the day can offer. Some who take it report a build-up of effect over several weeks rather than an immediate one.

Lion's mane is traditionally valued to support normal cognitive function, focus, and mental clarity during periods of sustained concentration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease and is no substitute for medical advice.
