Lion's Mane is a saprophytic mushroom with a long history of use in traditional healing protocols, as well as being of great importance to the Yamabushi Buddhist monks of Japan for defence and as a tool for clarity during meditation.

What makes Bristol Fungarium's Lion Mane tincture unique?

Native UK Lion’s Mane

Our Lion’s Mane was cloned from a species we found growing just 300m from our farm near Bristol. As much as possible we utilise native strains, not only to help us get closer once again to the medicine of this land - where so much of the knowledge has been lost - but most importantly to have as little effect as possible on local biodiversity and ultimately tread as lightly as possible on the earth.

By prioritising native strains we are avoiding the spread of billions of spores that come from commercial mushroom strains that have been selected specifically for their ability to grow fast and fruit heavily, and will therefore easily outcompete a lot of the native strains we have growing around the farm.

Grown in Somerset, UK

Our Lions Mane is grown on our organic mushroom farm, where we crop almost half a ton per month. We also prepare the tinctures and pack the orders in-house - meaning origin can be traced back to one location in the clean green pastures of Somerset with absolutely no tampering by third parties.

Triple Extracted, 1: 4 Ratio (Super Strength)

We carry out two hot water extractions and a final organic ethanol extraction to give you access to all the bioactive compounds that are responsible for Lion’s Manes beneficial qualities. Many capsules and supplements are shipped across the world in powder form as it is a more commercially viable way of transporting extracted products, however, our tinctures are prepared on-site at a 1:4 ratio (1g of mushrooms to every 4ml of water).

Tinctures have a longer shelf life than capsules, provide a faster absorption rate, enable flexible dosage, and are easy to prepare by simply taking one squeeze of mushroom tincture twice per day either directly under the tongue or into a short glass of water.

Fully Transparent & Short Supply Chain

Each bottle of our organic lion’s mane tincture contains 128g of Lion’s Mane fruiting body*. Our Lion’s Mane is grown on our organic mushroom farm, where we also prepare the tinctures and pack the orders - meaning origin can be traced back to one location with absolutely no tampering by third parties. Our Lion’s Mane mushroom can actually be traced back to its original growing location under a mile from our farm!

Because our supply chain is so much shorter, and we prepare our tincture in comparatively small batches, you can be sure that the extracts you buy from us haven't lost bioactive compounds due to sitting around for a long time or being shipped halfway across the world.

Ingredients

This Lion’s Mane tincture is made simple and strong, with just three ingredients: our organic mushrooms, purified water and organic alcohol.

Etymology

Hericium, the genus name, is likely derived from the Latin word 'hirtus', which means rough or shaggy. Erinaceus means much the same.

Folklore

Called ‘Yamabushitake’ in Japan, meaning "those who sleep in the mountains". Named after Yamabushi Buddhist Monks, who were thought to use Lion's Mane in meditation.

Origin

Native to Europe, Asia, and North America. Our Lion's Mane was found on an old oak tree just 300 meters from our farm in Somerset.

All about our Organic Lion's Mane Tincture

scientific properties

Compounds within Lion’s Mane fruiting body stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) synthesis, which is necessary for the survival of neural cells in the brain. NGF has a dynamic relationship with the immune system, playing a wider role in maintaining homeostasis in the body. Rich in β-glucan polysaccharides that have immune-modulating properties as well as having strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant components, lion's mane even shows clinical potential in alleviating Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Fungi Profile

Latin genus name: hericum Erinaceus. Known as 'Monkey Head Mushroom' or Bearded Tooth Fungus. Research into Lion's Mane in the West has greatly accelerated over the last few decades - specifically into its ability to stimulate neurogenesis and act as a neuroprotective agent, meaning it may have the ability to protect nerve cells against damage, degeneration, and impairment of function.

Health Benefits

Compounds within Lion's Mane fruiting body stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) synthesis, which is necessary for the survival of neural cells in the brain. A 2004 study explored the anti-dementia effects of supplementing with lion’s mane, with patients improving in functioning capacity, understanding, communication & memory, and functional independence. Lion’s Mane has since been confirmed to be a neuroprotective and neuro-trophic therapeutic agent in supporting neurological conditions.

FAQS

How much tincture should i take?

We suggest a daily dosage of 1-2ml. This can be either taken all at once (suggested in the morning around 15 mins before food) or distributed throughout the morning and afternoon as preferred.

How should I consume it?

You can consume your tincture in many ways - be it undiluted or in a drink or food. We
recommend taking your tincture in water or fruit juice, ideally alongside a meal. This method is thought to be the best for absorption. Whatever fits your lifestyle and makes it easy to enjoy, some may even wish to add them into soups, salad dressings or smoothies
for additional medicinal benefits at mealtime.

Are tinctures safe to use when pregnant?

Whilst there is some information around the traditional use of Lion's Mane through pregnancy, there is essentially no modern research into the use of most supplements, including mushrooms, through pregnancy and nursing. It is, understandably, difficult to design studies around medicating pregnant people.

It's generally understood and something that we very much subscribe to, that taking anything through the first trimester should be avoided.

If people want to take supplements at any stage during pregnancy we hope and advise that they always seek the advice of medical professionals.
