short answers

Capsules or powder, which one is for me?

Same mushroom, same 1:1 hot-water extract. The powder is for people who like a kitchen ritual and a flexible serving; the capsules are for a fixed dose you can take anywhere.

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.

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 much do I use?

One teaspoon (2.3 g) daily, in coffee, tea, a smoothie, soup or baking. The licence allows one to three teaspoons a day.

Is this licensed in Canada?

Yes. Licensed by Health Canada, NPN 80122180. The licensed uses are as a source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties and as a source of antioxidants that help protect cells against free radicals.

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.
