why the powder
01
02
03
three reasons people keep it by the kettle
Same mushroom, same 1:1 hot-water extract as the capsules. The powder keeps it a kitchen ingredient.
01
02
Whole mushroom
whole-spectrum 1:1
A hot-water extract of the whole fruiting body, gram for gram. Opening the cell walls makes the mushroom more bioavailable.
03
Antioxidants
polysaccharides and antioxidants
A source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties and of antioxidants: the claims reviewed and licensed by Health Canada under NPN 80122180.
what 1:1 means
the whole mushroom, by the teaspoon.
One kilogram of dried fruiting body makes one kilogram of extract. It is hot-water extracted, not concentrated: opening the mushroom's tough cell walls with hot water makes the whole fruiting body more bioavailable.
- Hot-water extraction opens the cell walls
- Maximum absorption
- Not concentrated: the whole fruiting body
- Polysaccharides over 25%, tested every batch

how we compare
hold any label against these rows
Most mushroom supplements in North America are mycelium grown on grain, with the grain left in. Here is the difference.

"Typical" describes practices common across mushroom supplements sold in North America. It is not a comparison with any named brand, and products vary.
why Purana
every label says the same few things
Every Purana label says the same few things, and each one was a decision. Here is what they mean.
the mushroom, not the mycelium
100% fruiting body, sourced to our own standards for potency and purity. The substrate a mushroom is grown on never makes it into a Purana capsule.
concentrated, then named
Our 8:1, 10:1 and 16:1 dual extracts name their compounds, and every input batch is tested for potency and purity.
a Health Canada NPN for every formula
Each product was reviewed by Health Canada, formula, manufacturing and claims, and issued its own Natural Product Number, printed on the label and linked on this page.
Canadian, and plain about it
Organic, non-GMO and vegan, made in a GMP-certified facility in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Inputs are tested for heavy metals, pesticides and microbes. Nothing added that a label would have to explain.
your ritual
simple enough to keep
one teaspoon
2.3 g daily. The NPN allows one to three.
in your coffee or tea
Or a smoothie, a soup, or baking. Same time each day.
108 servings
One pouch, one full habit. Decide on that.
what to expect
effects are built, not switched on
Mushroom extracts work through slow biology. The habit is the product. Here is the shape of the first two months.
- Day 1
start with food
One teaspoon in your morning coffee or tea. Nothing to feel yet, and that is normal. The first days are about the habit, not a sensation.
- Week 2
the habit holds
Same time, same meal. By now the teaspoon is part of the kettle routine rather than a decision.
- Day 30
the research window opens
Most human trials of these mushrooms run four to twelve weeks of daily use. Notice how your days are going.
- Day 60
your own evidence
A pouch is about a hundred days of daily teaspoons. If it has earned its place, reorder or subscribe.
the research
studied in people, not just in a dish
12weeks
human trialTwelve weeks of lion's mane fruiting body improved cognitive test scores in healthy older adults compared with placebo.
28dayshuman trialIn healthy young adults, a single dose sped up a cognitive processing task; 28 days trended toward lower self-reported stress.
β-glucanassayanalyticalAnalytical methods separate true beta-glucan from the grain starch found in mycelium-on-grain products.
Research is reported as research, about the people or cells in each study. It describes the ingredient, not a promise about this product.
short answers
questions we get all the time
01capsules 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.
02what 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.
03fruiting 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 pouch.
04how much do I use?
One teaspoon (2.3 g) daily, in coffee, tea, a smoothie, soup or baking. The NPN allows one to three teaspoons a day.
05does it have a Health Canada NPN?
Yes. NPN 80122180, issued by Health Canada after a review of the formula, the manufacturing and the claims. The NPN wording is: a source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties and as a source of antioxidants that help protect cells against free radicals.
06can 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.
