Hericium erinaceus. Known for its neurogenic capacities, Lions Mane has a very mild flavor and a light gold color. Delicious in coffee, or take it straight. Like all our extracts, this is extracted in both water and alcohol to get both the water soluble and the alcohol soluble healing compounds out of the strong chitin structure of the mushroom, such as immune boosting beta glucans, anti-inflammatory triterpines, cholesterol-combatting sterols and other beneficial compounds.
