Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Capsules

What you get in every serving

Two capsules deliver:

• 1000 mg organic lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus)
• Mushroom fruiting body and mycelium powder, standardized to 40% polysaccharides [400 mg]
• Daily Value is not established for either row, so the panel marks both **
• A capsule made from pullulan and water
• Vegan, gluten free and non-GMO
• 60 capsules at 30 servings — a month of daily use per bottle

What lion's mane is

Hericium erinaceus is the shaggy white mushroom that hangs off hardwood in cascading spines, which is where its common names come from — lion's mane, bearded tooth, monkey head, yamabushitake in Japan. It's a culinary mushroom first: dense, pale, faintly seafood-like when cooked, and a long-standing ingredient in East Asian cooking well before it turned up in capsules.

That's the single ingredient on this panel. No second mushroom making up the milligrams, no proprietary blend hiding who contributed what. One organism, two rows, one number.

Fruiting body and mycelium — and what 40% means

The panel's second row is worth reading slowly, because it's where mushroom supplements differ most from each other.

The fruiting body is the mushroom itself, the part you'd recognise growing on a log. The mycelium is the fine, thread-like network the fungus grows through its substrate — the larger, mostly invisible part of the organism. This powder is made from both, and the label says so rather than leaving it vague.

Standardized to 40% polysaccharides is the other half of it. Polysaccharides are long chains of sugar units; in a mushroom they're a major part of what the cell walls are built from. Standardizing means the powder is produced to hit a set concentration, so the proportion stays consistent from batch to batch rather than drifting with the harvest. Forty percent of the 1000 mg serving is 400 mg, and that's the figure in square brackets on the panel — not an extra ingredient on top, but a measured share of the same 1000 mg.

It's a useful thing to check when you're comparing lion's mane capsules, because milligram counts on the front of a bottle rarely describe the same thing twice.

How it's taken

Two capsules daily. The capsule is made from pullulan and water — pullulan is a polysaccharide made by fermentation and used for plant-based capsule shells — and organic pea starch is the only other ingredient listed. The label carries vegan, gluten free and non-GMO claims.

Who it's for

Anyone shopping for organic lion's mane by name and wanting to see exactly what's inside the capsule: the species, the parts of the mushroom used, the standardization, and no second mushroom quietly padding the number. It suits vegan and gluten-free eating, it's non-GMO, and at two capsules a day a 60-count bottle runs a full month.

How to use it

As a dietary supplement, adults take two (2) capsules daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
