🧬 What Makes Lion's Mane Unique — Hericenones and NGF
Lion's Mane is unique in nature because it contains two groups of bioactive compounds found nowhere else — hericenones (from the fruiting body) and erinacines (from the mycelium). Research has focused on their interaction with Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) — a neurotrophin essential for the growth, maintenance and survival of neurons.
🍄 Hericenones — Fruiting Body

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lion's Mane mushroom?
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is an edible mushroom native to North America, Europe and Asia. It contains unique bioactive compounds — hericenones (in the fruiting body) and erinacines (in the mycelium) — that are found nowhere else in nature. It is the most researched functional mushroom in the UK supplement category. No authorised EU/UK health claims exist. Food supplement — not a medicine.
What does 50:1 extract mean?
50:1 means 50kg of raw Lion's Mane fruiting body is processed to produce 1kg of concentrated extract. Each capsule of 50:1 extract delivers the equivalent of 25,000mg of raw Lion's Mane mushroom. This is five times more concentrated than a 10:1 extract and fifty times more than standard dried mushroom powder — which delivers no concentration benefit at all.

In the UK and EU, only Lion's Mane fruiting body extracts are permitted in food supplements. Mycelial preparations are not permitted under current Novel Food regulations.
