Organic Lion's Mane Dual Extract Mushroom Powder

Most Lion’s Mane products on the US market are non-extracted powders or mycelium-on-grain products. These forms often contain large amounts of indigestible chitin and grain starch, which significantly reduces bioavailability.

Dr Noel’s Lion’s Mane is a true dual extract made from 100% fruiting bodies. This matters because the most valuable compounds, namely beta-glucans, hericenones, and erinacines, are locked inside tough fungal cell walls. Without extraction, your body cannot efficiently access them.

Our process uses:

• Hot water extraction to isolate beta-glucans and polysaccharides
  
  
• Alcohol extraction to isolate nerve-supporting compounds such as hericenones
  
  

The result is a concentrated extract with measurable, standardized actives, not just ground mushroom powder.

Dual extraction refers to using both water and alcohol as solvents to capture the full spectrum of Lion’s Mane’s bioactive compounds.

• Water extraction pulls out beta-glucans—key compounds associated with immune modulation and gut health.
  
• Alcohol extraction is required to isolate hericenones and erinacines, the compounds most closely linked to nerve growth factor (NGF) activity.
  
  

Hot water alone cannot extract these alcohol-soluble compounds. Products that skip alcohol extraction cannot deliver Lion’s Mane’s full cognitive and neurological benefits, no matter how much powder they contain.

Dual extraction isn’t a trend. It’s a biological necessity.

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is unique among functional mushrooms because it contains compounds shown to stimulate NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) and BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor).

NGF plays a critical role in:

• Neuron growth and maintenance
  
  
• Synaptic plasticity
  
  
• Memory formation
  
  
• Protection against age-related cognitive decline
  
  

Hericenones (found in the fruiting body) and erinacines (primarily associated with extracted compounds) are not found in meaningful amounts in other mushrooms. This makes Lion’s Mane uniquely suited for long-term brain and nervous system support.

The fruiting body is the mushroom’s reproductive structure and contains higher concentrations of beta-glucans and hericenones.

Many commercial products use:

• Mycelium grown on grain
  
• Myceliated brown rice
  
• Mycelial biomass
  
  

These materials often contain more starch than mushroom, diluting potency and misleading consumers.

Dr Noel’s Lion’s Mane is made from 100% fruiting bodies with no substrate, ensuring:

• Higher active compound density
  
• No hidden grain fillers
  
• Greater consistency and purity
  
  

This approach reflects decades of microbiology expertise. Not cost-cutting shortcuts.

Lion’s Mane has a long history of use for gastrointestinal protection. Its polysaccharides and beta-glucans help support:

• Integrity of the gut lining
  
• Balanced immune response in the digestive tract
  
• Healthy gut microbiota
  

Emerging research suggests Lion’s Mane may help protect the gastric mucosa and support overall digestive resilience, making it valuable not only for cognition but also for gut-brain axis health.

This is almost always a marketing strategy, not a scientific one.

Non-extracted powders are:

• Cheaper to produce
  
• Faster to manufacture
  
• Easier to label
  

But they leave most bioactive compounds trapped and unavailable.

Extraction does not remove benefits, it reveals them. Without extraction, the majority of Lion’s Mane’s therapeutic potential remains locked inside chitin, which humans cannot digest efficiently.

Most nootropics rely on:

• Synthetic compounds
  
• Short-term stimulatory effects
  
• Neurotransmitter manipulation
  
  

Lion’s Mane works differently. It supports the structural health of neurons themselves, rather than forcing temporary stimulation.

Dr Noel’s extract is designed for:

• Long-term brain resilience
  
• Nervous system protection
  
• Sustainable cognitive support
  
  

This makes it suitable for people seeking lasting neurological health, not quick fixes.

Bioavailability refers to how much of a compound your body can actually absorb and use.

You can consume large amounts of non-extracted mushroom powder and still receive minimal benefit if the compounds aren’t bioavailable.

Dr Noel’s dual-extraction process:

• Breaks down fungal cell walls
  
• Concentrates active compounds
  
• Improves absorption and utilization
  
  

This ensures that what’s listed on the label is what your body can actually access.

Dr Noel’s Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract Powder is ideal for individuals who:

• Care about ingredient transparency
  
• Want fruiting-body-only extracts
  
• Understand the importance of dual extraction
  
• Are seeking science-backed cognitive support
  
• Refuse grain fillers, starch, or low-potency powders
  

This product is designed for educated consumers who value quality over marketing claims—and who want Lion’s Mane in its most effective form.
