short answers

What does 1:1 mean?

One kilogram of dried fruiting body makes one kilogram of extract. It is hot-water extracted, not concentrated; opening the cell walls with hot water makes the mushroom more bioavailable.

Lion's mane 1:1 or 8:1, which one is for me?

The 1:1 is the whole fruiting body, hot-water extracted and not concentrated. The 8:1 dual extract is concentrated eight times and also concentrates compounds such as hericenones. Many people take both.

Fruiting body or mycelium?

Fruiting body only. The fruiting body is the mushroom itself. Mycelium is the root-like network it grows from, usually cultivated on grain, and mycelium products often contain that grain. There is no mycelium, grain or filler in a Purana capsule.

How and when do I take it?

Two capsules once daily, with food. The licence allows one to two capsules, one to two times a day.

Is this licensed in Canada?

Yes. Licensed by Health Canada, NPN 80108430. The licensed use is as a source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties.

What is in the capsule besides the extract?

The extract, and a hypromellose capsule shell (plant-derived, vegan). No fillers, flow agents or additives.

Can I take it with medications?

Talk with your health care practitioner before starting any supplement, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication, or managing a health condition.

Benefits of lion's mane

Why take lion's mane?

- to boost cognitive performance and neurological health
- to support a healthy cardiovascular system
- to strengthen the immune system

Lion's mane mushroom is a natural and caffeine-free way to support mental fatigue and brain fog, improving concentration and productivity. It helps with energy because it contains compounds that support cognitive function - called hericenones and erinacines. These compounds are metabolized by the body into nerve growth factor, a protein that plays an important role in brain health.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) helps to support your cognitive function as it strengthens connections between neurons (brain cells). It also supports the formation of new brain cells. Additionally, NGF helps to protect your brain from age-related damage.

Lion's mane mushroom is also a great way to support cardiovascular health. It contains compounds that help keep blood vessels healthy and functioning properly. These compounds are called polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are a type of carbohydrate that is known for their beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. They help to improve blood flow and reduce inflammation.

Lion's mane also supports the immune system. It contains compounds called beta-glucans, which are known for their immune-boosting properties. Beta-glucans have been shown to stimulate the immune system by activating certain white blood cells called macrophages, which help fight off infections. The immune-boosting properties of lion's mane mushroom may help you stay healthy during cold and flu season.
