Lion's Mane Mushroom

Both. The panel reads Mushroom Fruiting Body & Mycelium Powder, and it does not state the split between them, what the mycelium was grown on, or how the polysaccharides were measured. We don't know the ratio, so we don't describe it as fruiting body alone or as mycelium-free.

No. It is a powder, 1,000 mg per serving of two capsules. Many lion's mane trials use extracts, such as a 10:1 fruiting-body extract, or mycelium standardized to a specific compound. Those are different materials from this one, and their doses don't carry over to ours.

The label states 400 mg of the 1,000 mg is polysaccharides. Polysaccharides is a broader measurement than beta-glucans, and can include starch, which matters most if the mycelium was grown on grain. The label prints no beta-glucan, triterpene, hericenone or erinacine amount.

Two capsules daily, with food or on an empty stomach, or as directed by a health care professional.

Don't use it if you are allergic to mushrooms. Ask a physician first if you are pregnant or nursing, under 18, on medication or have a medical condition. Stop use if a rash or other reaction occurs. In one trial of mycelium at about 1,050 mg a day, four participants dropped out over abdominal discomfort, nausea or skin rash.
