New Roots Lion’s Mane (60 vcaps)

Lion’s mane is treasured by seasoned mushroom foragers and mycologists alike throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Our lion’s mane is cultivated in fully sheltered, climate-controlled greenhouses, reducing strain on the natural supply of this medicinal mushroom as commercial demand grows.

New Roots Herbal’s Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a hot water–extract standardized and potency-validated to contain 40% polysaccharides (500 mg per capsule) with a guaranteed 35% of beta-glucans; clinically researched compounds shown to stimulate immune function and support cognitive health.

Why Choose a Hot-Water Extract?

Rigid mushroom cell walls contain a compound called chitin, the same compound found in the hard outer shells of lobsters, crabs, and other shellfish. This compound is indigestible and remains intact throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Only hot-water extraction gently dissolves chitin while releasing therapeutic compounds such as beta-glucans and polysaccharides. This permits identification and concentration, to deliver a standardized extract in a therapeutic dose. Unless there is a label claim validated by an ISO 17025–accredited laboratory, you are likely getting a simple mushroom powder, a disappointing return on your investment.
