Active Compounds
Lion’s Mane contains multiple naturally occurring compounds that work together to support cognitive, nervous system, and immune health. Dual extraction is used to capture both water-based and alcohol-based compounds for a more complete profile.
Beta-Glucans
Naturally occurring polysaccharides found in the mushroom cell wall. Beta-glucans are among the most studied mushroom compounds and are associated with immune balance, gut health, and cellular defense.
Hericenones
Compounds found in the Lion’s Mane fruiting body that are studied for their role in supporting nerve growth factor activity, which is involved in neuron maintenance and communication.
Erinacines
Bioactive compounds associated with nerve growth factor–related pathways. These compounds are of interest for long-term nervous system support.
Additional Polysaccharides
Non–beta-glucan polysaccharides that contribute to immune signaling and systemic balance, working alongside beta-glucans.
Ergothioneine
A naturally occurring antioxidant found in mushrooms that accumulates in tissues exposed to oxidative stress, including the brain. Humans must obtain ergothioneine from dietary sources.
Phenolic Compounds
Antioxidant compounds that help manage oxidative stress and support cellular integrity.
Sterols (Including Ergosterol)
Naturally occurring fungal sterols involved in cell membrane structure and metabolic processes.
Why Dual Extraction Matters
Some Lion’s Mane compounds dissolve in water, while others require alcohol to be released. Dual extraction preserves the mushroom’s full compound profile without stripping or isolating individual components.
