Lion's Mane Mushroom Supplements

Lion’s mane (Hericium spp) is a mushroom that looks like the mane of a lion due to its many small spines that gradually elongate and grow side by side, taking the shape of a very well combed lion’s mane.
This fantastic mushroom has been used by centuries by traditional herbalists and is attracting significant interest as it synthesizes hericenones and erinacines, beyond all the standard set of polysaccharides and terpenes that other mushrooms produce.
Our lion's mane mushroom is organically grown in the beautiful Yarra Valley region (Victoria) and totally processed in Australia, which makes it a unique 100% Australia made product, quite rare in the mushroom supplement market.
We currently produce the following Lion's Mane based functional foods:
- Australian Lion's Mane - only one in the market that is made 100% in Australia with 100% lion's mane mushroom fruiting body - no added starches (by themselves or with mycelium) or anything that is not the mushroom. Independent Lab analysis has shown our lion's mane powder yields approx. an incredible 30g of beta glucans per 100g of product. Available in 25g/ 50g/100g jars, jars/pouches and capsules
- Australian Lion's Mane mycelium - this is what is usually sold as "lion's mane powder" in the market - It does not contain fully developed mushrooms. It is made by grains colonised by Lion's Mane culture and Lion's Mane primordia (initial stages of a mushroom). It is like a Lion's Mane tempeh using brown rice. Fully developed mushrooms grown in wood feature in studies as the ones that could provide the broadest benefits but recent studies are also showing potential benefits attributed to myceliated grains. They are significantly easier to grow and, as such, more affordable than fully developed mushrooms. We use gluten free/high fibre grains as brown rice and buckwheat to grow our mycelium. This product contains starches from the brow rice. Note we sell the mycelium separated from the fruiting body to give our customers full transparency of what they are getting. Available in 50g/100g pouches.
- Australian Lion's Mane dual liquid extract - using our very own Australian Lion's Mane powder, we bring you a convenient way of adding lion's mane to your daily routine. This is a dual extract, meaning it is made with ethanol and water extracts. Ethanol pulls the most of the terpene / phenolic compounds out of the mushroom, along with its hericenones and erinacines. The water focus on the polysaccharides. Available in 50ml and 100 ml bottles.
- Australian Lion's Mane fruiting body & mycelium extract - We wanted to find a way to harness only the mushroom and mycelium's goodness keeping all the grain starches away. This is our best shot - as we are after only the hericenones/erinacines in the mycelium and they are ethanol soluble, we decided to mix ONLY mycelium ethanol extract to our mushroom dual extract. Available in 50ml and 100 ml bottles.
- Trinity Extract - Interested in the benefits of all top Australian mushrooms? This product has you covered. Mixing equal volumes of each of our fruiting body liquid extracts (Lion's Mane, Reishi and Turkey Tail), this is a great way to conveniently harness the benefits of these mushrooms. Available in 50ml and 100 ml bottles.
Why would I have Lion's Mane ?
As with any dietary supplement, there are multiple studies showing promising results in different phases of their lifecycle - Find below an ever growing list to help you decide if Lion's Mane is the right supplement for you.
