What it is

Organic Lion's Mane Extract is derived from the Lion's Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), a white, shaggy mushroom that grows on dead hardwood trees. The extract is typically made by processing the mushroom's fruiting body or mycelium to concentrate its beneficial compounds. This process often involves water or alcohol extraction, followed by drying and powdering.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Organic Lion's Mane Extract primarily as a functional ingredient, often marketed for its perceived cognitive and wellness benefits. It is commonly added to beverages like coffee, teas, and juices, as well as energy bars and supplements. Its inclusion aims to appeal to consumers seeking natural health-promoting additions to their diet.

Health notes

Organic Lion's Mane Extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a dietary ingredient. Research into its health effects is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits for cognitive function and nerve health, though more robust human trials are needed. International bodies like EFSA have not specifically evaluated this extract for food additive purposes. Evidence regarding its impact at typical dietary intake levels is still developing.

Allergen info

Lion's Mane mushroom is not one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
