FAQ

1. What is the suggested use of the product?

   Adults, as a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule daily.

2. How does Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract differ from other mushroom extracts?

   Different mushroom species have been used for centuries for various purposes, and on-going research continues to confirm many of their health-supporting properties. While mushrooms are all known for their valuable active compounds, like beta-glucans, polysaccharides, triterpenes, ergosterols and polysaccharides, each variety of mushroom offers its own unique potential health benefits.

   It's important to note that only mushroom products undergoing heat processing can be called true extracts, and not all mushroom products on the market are effective. With regular mushroom powders that haven’t undergone an extraction process, your body can’t break down the cell wall fiber to benefit from all the nutrient’s important active compounds.

3. How is Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract processed?

   The beta-glucans are extracted in several steps using a gentle hot water extraction. First, the raw mushroom fruiting bodies are hand sorted to remove impurities and then ground into a coarse powder. The ground mushrooms are placed into an extraction tank with hot water, which cracks the fungal cells to release the beneficial compounds inside. Then, the liquid filtrate is drained, separating it from the solid biomass. Finally, the liquid filtrate is concentrated into a powder using the reserved solids that were previously removed, allowing the concentrate to be spray dried without the use of excipients and filers.

4. Is it safe to consume while pregnant or nursing?

   This product was not formulated specifically for pregnant or nursing women. We always recommend consulting with your health care provider before taking a new dietary supplement.
