The dosage of Lion’s Mane depends upon the effectiveness of the extract. For the common strength of 10:1 Extract (30% polysaccharide content) a typical dosage to experience the previously mentioned effects varies from 500-3000 mg each day. Dosing higher shouldn’t cause any kind of negative effects but there’s no proof that amounts over 3 g each day can lead to any more advantages.When selecting a a Lion’s Mane supplement, be sure that it utilizes a mixture of both hot water as well as alcohol extraction to make sure that all of the desirable therapeutic compounds are effectively obtained from the mushroom. This kind of dual extraction makes sure that you reap the entire spectrum of natural benefits from Lion’s Mane like revitalizing the synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) as well as promoting neuroprotection. Select your source of Lion’s Mane supplement appropriately.
How to Use
Powdered Extracts
The best and most medicinally effective way to use this mushroom is to use the powdered extracts. Mushroom Science is a high quality brand that offers a tested potent extraction of lions mane, by far one of the best on the market.
These extracts are available in capsule form or as a powder. We usually get the capsules, open them up and drop the powder into hot drinks or shakes.
Tincture
A few company’s offer the wild-crafted mushroom as a tincture. This form of “LM” is not very common however and is thought to be less potent than the hot water extracts.
We usually recommend taking both the extract and the tincture for those individuals seeking some powerful Hericium erinaceus therapy.
Whole Dried Mushroom
Dried lions mane is not as commonly used, but it is occasionally available in various Asian markets. You can make your own tea decoctions from these dried specimens.
Mycelium Biomass
The mycelium bio-mass is another relatively new way to ingest some of the beneficial properties of the mushroom. This is the white mycelii before they fruit, is considered a “raw” product and therefore more appropriate for those eating a strict 100% raw vegan diet. These products are in the form of freeze dried powders.
Fresh Mushroom
Freshly harvested mushrooms can be steamed with shiitake. Remember to drink the liquid when you cook them because that’s where most of the healing polysaccharides exist. *
