Lion's Mane

April 19, 2018

Our first and most important ingredient is the very best we could find in the entire world. Our Organic Lion’s Mane mushrooms are an upgrade in potency and purity to anything you can find. These Organic Lion’s Mane mushrooms are true "full spectrum" mushrooms and are grown on a farm the way you want your food produced, the way nature intended. We have documented proof that our mushrooms are some of the most potent mushrooms in the world. We have over 35 years of growing and producing experience; we are some of the best mushroom growers in the world, period. The quality of our Organic Lion’s Mane mushroom is one of the main reasons Neuro-Stack is so amazing.

You do not want a “mushroom product" such as mycelium that is grown on grain or rice. It is not as potent by 30-60%, and it contains a lot of starch. Sadly this is the case in most mushroom products available today, including supplements that are labeled Organic Lion's Mane mushroom, this is a problem for the consumer. It makes common sense that if you grow anything on its natural substrate, in its natural environment it will thrive and that is what we do, help our mushrooms thrive!

The method of producing mycelium on grain was discovered by Dr. James Sinden of Penn State University in 1932 almost 100 years ago! This process creates a product called "Grain Spawn." Oddly enough many companies sell this grain spawn as a supplement and label it as a mushroom product! Many growers in North America grow this way because it is cost-effective and they can label the product a mushroom product. Technically it is a mushroom, but it has not finished it is life cycle to a fruit body (the fruit body is where you find all the goodness). A good analogy would be: labeling a newly born human baby as a fully grown man because technically they are both humans. A baby is an entirely different human than a fully grown man. Same is true with mycelium and a fully grown fruitbody or mushroom. Mycelium and fruitbodies are both part of the mushrooms, but completely different.

Mycelium is grown on grain that is labeled a mushroom product, is actually grain spawn. Not a full spectrum mushroom product! Grain spawn has very few of the medicinal compounds you expected to get when you buy a full spectrum mushroom. Many companies use the label "Full Spectrum Mushroom" even when selling grain spawn. Sometimes they do not even know that they are technically selling grain spawn. We know this because we have called them and asked. If you have bought a product that you suspect may be grain spawn, just taste and smell it. If it tastes sweet similar to breakfast cereal then it is grain sawn. When you smell it, it should have a very pungent mushroom smell if it does not, then most likely you have grain spawn. On the other hand, a full spectrum mushroom product will have a distinct mushroom smell and taste.

Using grain spawn is a cost-effective, antiquated way of cultivating, and not very effective in getting a quality product. As a consumer, you should be very concerned about the form of the product and how it is produced. A mycelium product produced on grain can have as much as 60% grain and starch in it! That leaves only 40% for the actual product! If your mushroom product is way cheaper than everyone else's is, it is most likely grain spawn. It makes common sense that if you grow anything on its natural substrate, in its natural environment, it will thrive and that is exactly what we do.

Organic Lion’s Mane Mushroom is the granddaddy of all mushrooms. The “Brain-shroom that repairs your nerves" that is also an immune system booster and has anti-aging properties! Wow! Lion’s Mane helps improve focus, clarity, and overall cognitive function. It also can stimulate synthesis of the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF).

In 2013 in Kuala Lumpur, scientists proved that Lion’s Mane extract promoted neurite outgrowth and induced NGF synthesis.

Lion’s Mane extract was able to promote neuron regrowth in rats. Rats with gluteal nerve damage that were utterly disabled were able to walk again. This was after consuming water containing Lion’s Mane extract. The researchers concluded that Lion’s Mane regenerates damaged nerve cells, this is huge! This research is documented at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

Lion's Mane enhances nerve regeneration which in turn will help you heal faster! Organic Lion’s Mane also reduces anxiety and depression. It combats Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Parkinson’s.
