Buy Lion's Mane – Standardised Extracts from the Hedgehog Mushroom

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is an edible and medicinal mushroom with a long tradition in East Asian mycology. Botanically, it belongs to the tooth fungi and forms characteristic, mane-like spines. In this category, you'll find Lion's Mane extracts from Scheunengut – standardised to a defined content, vegan and lab-tested. You'll find more mushrooms under medicinal mushrooms.

Origin & Extraction

Mostly the fruiting body of the mushroom is used, which is gently dried and then extracted. In hot-water extraction, water-soluble components such as polysaccharides are drawn out and processed into a concentrated powder.

Standardisation & Format

What matters most is the standardised content: high-quality extracts transparently state their share of polysaccharides and beta-glucan – around 30% polysaccharides and 5% beta-glucan. Lion's Mane is available as a capsule or powder, often combined with other mushrooms such as reishi or cordyceps.

What to Look for When Buying

Standardised, transparently declared content of polysaccharides and beta-glucan
