What is the Lion’s Mane mushroom?

The Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus, Yamabushitake) has been a part of Asian culture and Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years due to its valuable properties. Resembling a lion’s mane or icicles, the mushroom was reserved for royalty in ancient China. Due to its effect on concentration during meditation, it has also been appreciated by Buddhist monks for centuries.

Lion’s Mane belongs to the group of adaptogens – compounds of natural origin that increase the body’s adaptive ability in response to adverse environmental conditions. They make it easier to adapt to the body’s increased exposure to stressors, both physical and emotional. It is worth noting that adaptogenic mushrooms do not have psychoactive properties and do not affect perception in any way!

Why is it worth choosing the Olimp Lion’s Mane Mushroom dietary supplement?

The pharmaceutical company Olimp Laboratories, when providing a valuable product, uses an ingredient with a specific amount of active substance, i.e. a standardized extract. In the case of the Lion’s Mane Mushroom dietary supplement by Olimp Sport Nutrition, these are beta-glucans. These are structural components of plant cell walls (mainly cereals – oats and barley), yeasts, as well as adaptogenic fungi. From a chemical point of view, they are long-chain glucose polymers in which individual molecules are connected in a linear or branched manner by ß-type glycosidic bonds. The form of beta-glucans with the widest spectrum of health-promoting effects seems to be beta-glucans obtained from mushrooms, which are known as factors stimulating the immune system and exhibiting antioxidant properties related to the ability to extinguish free radicals⁹. The structural and physical characteristics of beta-glucans vary depending on the fungal species, cultivars, as well as the growing environment, drying conditions, and beta-glucan isolation/extraction methods, which consequently leads to significant changes in the intensity and type of activity.

Standardization to at least 25% beta-1,3/1,6-D-glucans in the Olimp Lion’s Mane Mushroom dietary supplement guarantees a constant and reproducible content of the active ingredient in each production batch. This means that there is at least 125 mg of beta-1,3/1,6-D-glucans in each capsule of the product!

Why the fruiting body and not the mycelium?

The body of the fungus is formed by mycelium, usually hidden in the substrate. What we commonly call a mushroom is only a compact part of it, i.e. the fruiting body.

In the course of growing adaptogenic fungi, the mycelium grows on a starchy medium. The fruiting body is formed in a long-term process only after the mycelium has colonized the entire nutrient solution. Undeniably, mycelium contains a number of active compounds, but it is difficult to separate it from the medium on which it has grown. For this reason, a significant part of mycelium-based preparations may be worthless starch, which is a polysaccharide.

Polysaccharides or beta-glucans?

Active beta-glucans derived from mushrooms, like starch (α-glucan), belong to the group of polysaccharides. Nevertheless, standardization for polysaccharides is not an indicator of the quality of Lion’s Mane extract, as they can be almost entirely derived from the above-mentioned worthless starch. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a product containing an extract standardized to beta-1,3/1,6-D-glucans.

Olimp Lion’s Mane Mushroom – 10:1 ratio of the extract

Ratio (DER) is the ratio of the amount of raw material extracted to the amount of extract obtained. In this way, we find out how much raw material was used to produce one part of the extract. In the case of the Olimp Lion’s Mane Mushroom dietary supplement, the RATIO is 10:1. This means that 1 kg of extract was obtained from 10 kg of dried fruiting bodies of Lion’s Mane! One capsule containing 500 mg of this extract is therefore equivalent to 5 g of dried Lion’s Mane fruiting bodies.
