Lion’s Mane Mushroom Mode of Action
As a mushroom, the primary active compounds are polysaccharides, or beta-glucans. The fruiting body of the mushroom contains the highest content of the B-glucan polysaccharides (1).
The main difference between our 8:1 Lion’s Mane Mushroom extract and our 1:1 Lion’s Mane Mushroom is that the 8:1 is a dual extract (water and ethanol) meant to get certain beneficial compounds out of the mushroom that are not water soluble, specifically hericenones and erinacines.
The 1:1 extract is a hot water extract that is higher in polysaccharides (than the 8:1) and is recommended for overall well-being, whereas the 8:1 is more suitable for cognitive support.
