What it is

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a type of mushroom that grows on trees, particularly hardwoods. It is known for its shaggy, white appearance, resembling a lion's mane. It is cultivated for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Lion's Mane to foods and beverages for its purported cognitive benefits and unique flavor profile. It is commonly found in powdered drink mixes, energy supplements, and meal replacement products, often combined with other functional ingredients.

Health notes

Lion's Mane is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Research into its health effects, particularly regarding cognitive function and nerve health, is ongoing. Some studies suggest potential benefits, but more large-scale human trials are needed to confirm these effects. JECFA has evaluated Lion's Mane and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

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