Lucid Lion's Mane

Lucid Lions Mane promotes cognition, memory, focus and digestion. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) used Hericium erinaceus as digestive and gastric medicine for centuries. Until the early 1990s when a novel set of compounds were discovered that launched this mushroom into the forefront of brain health. H. erinaceus goes by many names, the most popular is Lion’s Mane.

It has shown to be effective as: Analgesic, Antibacterial, Anti fungal, Anti Inflammatory, Anti-tumor, Immune tonic, Nerve tonic, Respiratory tonic, and helps relieve stress. 

ACTIVE COMPOUNDS

Lion's mane primary active constituents include: Beta D glucans ⅓ and ⅙. Hericenones and erinacines A-H (9 different diterpenes) Ergosterol, among many others. 

DUAL EXTRACTED

A dual extract is when the mushroom (fruit body) is dried and macerated, then pressure-cooked in hot water. The water is separated from the “marc” and then the water is evaporated to leave a fine powder concentrate. The second part is when that same “marc” is ethanol extracted and separated and then evaporated. Then the two concentrate powders are combined to give a complete spectrum powder.

As a dual extract concentrated powder, Lucid Lions Mane contains 30% beta D glucans ⅓ and ⅙. Beta glucans are the target compound from the hot water extraction process. The ethanol extract targets the Hericenones. Each Lucid Lion’s Mane product contains up to 2% Hericenones. We also added a third extract of alcohol on the mycelium to target the erinacines at 2%. 

DOSE

A preventative daily dose is about 1g per day, about ½ teaspoon. A treatment size dose can be up to 5g per day.  Speak to your care provider before taking treatment size doses. Lucid Lions Mane is completely non toxic but can affect people that already have a mushroom allergy.  Best practice is to cycle off of Lion’s Mane after a month's use. Then cycle back on after one week.
