100% Certified USDA Organic LION'S MANE MUSHROOM DUAL EXTRACT powder 100g.

In Japan and China, the Lion's Mane fungus has a long history of reverence as a gourmet treat and a significant medicinal mushroom. Japanese researchers have examined the highly valued medicinal mushroom known as the Lion's Mane and have validated a wide range of significant biological functions.

According to recent studies, the hot water/alcohol extract of lion's mane stimulates the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and aids in the myelination process.

All impartial scientific investigations on therapeutic mushrooms have relied on the use of hot water extracts, according to Dr. Mark Stengler N.D. in his most current book, The Health Benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms. When preparation, all references from Traditional Chinese Medicine advise hot water extraction medicinal mushrooms. There are two main factors involved. 

Bioavailability: Inside the cell walls are the immune-supporting polysaccharides that are present in the mycelium of all therapeutic mushrooms. However, the cell walls are formed of "chitin," an inedible fiber similar to that found in lobster shells. The only clinically verified technique for releasing these polysaccharides from the inedible cell walls is hot water extraction. When used medicinally, even soft mushrooms like shiitake are prepared as a hot water extract or a tea.

Concentration: Even if immune-supporting polysaccharides were accessible, they would only make up 0.5?2% of the total mass by dry weight of mushrooms and mushroom mycelium, which is insufficient to have any impact. The majority of hot water mushroom extracts have a concentration of at least 20:1. The indigestible fiber (chitin) un hot water extraction dissolves, enabling the fiber to be removed from the extract when the water is drained away. The polysaccharides are concentrated using this method to the effective amounts (30%) noted in the published studies.
