Know your compound
Lion's mane is a culinary mushroom, Hericium erinaceus. Its fruiting body contains compounds called hericenones; its mycelium contains erinacines. Both are studied for their association with nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein your body uses to maintain and repair neurons. This is a fruiting-body extract, not mycelium grown on grain — a distinction that matters, since grain-grown mycelium is largely starch.
The NGF link is the reason this mushroom draws attention: in cell and animal models, hericenones and erinacines are associated with increased NGF activity. Human trials exist but are small, short, and run mostly in older adults with mild cognitive complaints. The popular framing runs well ahead of that clinical evidence, and we would rather sell you the fruiting body than the story.

The research
The published findings behind this compound — the headline numbers, in plain terms, each cited to source. Preclinical results are directional (animal / in-vitro) and shown for context, not as therapeutic claims.
Published research on the reference compound class. Provided for scientific context only — not a claim about the product supplied.
In cell and animal models, lion's mane compounds called hericenones and erinacines were associated with increased nerve growth factor (NGF) activity — a mechanism seen in the lab, not yet quantified in people.
Directional lab finding — relative heights, not a measured human effect.
This extract is drawn from the mushroom's fruiting body and standardised to 30% polysaccharide content — a product specification, not a clinical outcome.
Polysaccharide content
Fruiting-body extract, not grain-grown mycelium.
A 2019 review reported early antidepressant-like signals for Hericium erinaceus in animal models, alongside limited human data — a direction of interest, not a quantified trial result.
Directional signal from preclinical and small human studies — magnitudes illustrative.
Mechanism
Lion's mane is studied to act through three distinct routes tied to neuronal maintenance.
Hericenones from the fruiting body are associated with nerve growth factor activity in cell and animal models, a pathway involved in neuron maintenance.
Erinacines from the mycelium are studied for crossing into nervous tissue and stimulating NGF in preclinical work.
The polysaccharide fraction this extract is standardised to is studied for biological activity in reviews, though mostly in non-human models.
