Which Lion’s Mane Extraction Method is Best?

This is a hotly debated topic. First, let’s go over lion’s mane powder versus an extract. An extract will always be more potent than the mushroom powder since it’s a concentrated form.

The extract strength is either shown as a ratio (such as 8:1) or standardized for a certain percentage of an analyte. This Nammex Lion’s Mane extract conforms to a minimum of 25% beta-glucans content.

For quality determination, it’s more accurate to measure for beta-glucans rather than the broad spectrum which constitutes polysaccharides. Polysaccharide content can be falsely inflated by manufacturers.

Be wary of buying mycelium-on-grain versions of lion’s mane supplements. A starch test will reveal which sources are grown on mycelium rather than using whole fruiting bodies.

As for the which extract ion process is best, it’s debatable. Some claim that water-only extraction is best since alcohol attraction may remove some of the active ingredients. If you are of this opinion, then this Nammex hot water extract is for you.
