Lion's Mane Extract
Lion's Mane Extract
We have partnered with a one of Australia's leading mushroom biotechnology companies to bring you the highest quality, organically grown, dual extracted lion's mane extract in Australia.
The dual extraction process uses just Lion's Mane, spring water and Australian sugarcane alcohol, to ensure a potent and comprehensive blend of both water and alcohol soluble bioactive compounds.
The Lion’s Mane is extracted for the unique terpenoids, hericenones and for phenolic acids and other polysaccharides. What does this do? Research indicates Lion's Mane stimulates the production of Neural Growth Factor (NGF) which promotes cognitive function, focus and memory.
Please note, these extracts are 30% alcohol by volume.
1 x 30ml lion's mane extract.
1 x Product information card.
Our mushrooms are grown on an organic farm in WA and extracted in a laboratory in Sydney.
Lion's mane promotes increased memory and focus through the production of neural growth factor (NGF) in the brain.

How does lion's mane work?
Lion's mane stimulates the production of neural growth factor (NGF)
Lion's mane is hypothesised to stimulate the production of NGF, which is associated with creativity, skill development, memory and neural health. The latest major development in this hypothesis has come from the University of Queensland:
“Pre-clinical testing found the lion’s mane mushroom had a significant impact on the growth of brain cells and improving memory.
Laboratory tests measured the neurotrophic effects of compounds isolated from lion’ mane (Hericium erinaceus) on cultured brain cells, and surprisingly we found that the active compounds promote neuron projections, extending and connecting to other neurons.
Using super-resolution microscopy, we found the mushroom extract and its active components largely increase the size of growth cones, which are particularly important for brain cells to sense their environment and establish new connections with other neurons in the brain.” - University of Queensland, 2023
What is NGF?
NGF facilitates learning, neural regeneration, adaption, & creativity
NGF is a facilitator of the process known as neuroplasticity, which governs our ability to acquire new skills, recover from nerve injuries, adapt to new environments, and enhance creativity. Whenever you engage in any of these activities, you are actively participating in the neuroplasticity process.
For neuroplasticity to occur, new nerve cells must be generated through a process called neurogenesis, which relies on the production of NGF. NGF plays a crucial role in ensuring the survival of these neurons during the process of neurogenesis and throughout their lifetime. Therefore, the more NGF is produced in your system, the greater your capacity for neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. The result? An increased ability to learn, absorb, and retain new information
What does this mean?
Looking to increase your cognitive function? Try following our lion's mane protocol below
Although this is promising preliminary evidence, nothing is for certain until a larger clinical study has been conducted. However, pleasingly this forms a part of a growing body of literature that is supporting the purported health benefits ascribed
To test how lion's mane affects your cognitive function, we have set out a protocol based on the clinical evidence to date below.
Recommended Protocol
0.5 to 1 dropper
Start with this dosage and slowly increase if needed. However, this should be enough for most people. One dropper has 1000ml of Lion's Mane.
Daily
For best results, take lion's mane daily. That's why we have conveniently infused it directly into your cup, so you won't have to change your morning routine.
Morning to early afternoon
Although the timing is not critical, consider taking this earlier in the day (to ensure the caffeine does not interfere with your sleep). For bonus points, take this just prior to a period of intense focus.
