BIO Hericium

100 g

With its 32 identified aromatic compounds, Hericium is a delicacy for discerning palates, who will appreciate its exotic combination of seafood, lemon and coconut aromas. In addition, this distinctive-looking mushroom is valued for its vitalizing effects. Doctors in traditional Chinese medicine especially appreciate Hericium's ability to have a harmonizing effect on both bodily and mental processes. We now offer Hericium in the form of mushroom powder (powder/biomass), where the dried mushroom fruiting body is ground into a very fine powder using a special shellbroken method, which breaks down the chitinous cell wall and releases the active ingredients. Compared to an extract, this form has a gentler effect.

Tested in Agrolab, Germany.

Our Hericium is grown on an organic substrate. The base of this substrate is a mixture of sawdust, organic wheat bran, cane sugar, and natural gypsum. We use the fruiting bodies for our extracts.

Basic Information

Hericium (Hericium erinaceus or Lion's Mane) has a mild, fish-like taste and texture. It grows parasitically in clusters on damaged tree trunks or stumps. Hericium holds a firm place in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is believed to balance yin and yang throughout the body. Free of natural substances, additives, and preservatives.

About Hericium

Hericium (Hericium erinaceus, also known as lion's mane in English) is an edible vital basidiomycete mushroom originating from Asia, also widely found in North America. Hericium can also be found rarely in our country. The mushroom got its name from the unique shape of its fruiting body, which is spherical and branched and can be up to 30 cm in diameter.

Currently, the effect of Hericium on NGF (nerve growth factor) production is being investigated. Like other vital mushrooms, Hericium is rich in polysaccharides - beta-glucans, minerals, trace elements, and specific to it are also diterpenoids - hericenones and erinacines. Other important components of Hericium include palmitic acid, the sugar alcohol threitol and D-arabinitol, or provitamin D2, and others. The concentration of polysaccharides in the extract is also important. Long-term testing has shown that 30% is optimal for therapeutic purposes. A lower concentration (10%) is less effective, while a higher concentration (40%) always comes at the expense of other active ingredients, leading to a shift in the specific mushroom's effects.

Bioactive ingredients

• Polysaccharides - β-1-3 and β-1-6-D glucans
• Sterols
• Vitamin B12 - lactone
• Terpene and phenolic compounds
• Alkaloids
• Amino acids
• Minerals
• Vitamins

Dosage

• 1 - 3 g daily, at least half an hour after a meal, dissolve in approximately 1 dcl of water and drink (1 level teaspoon = 2 g of powder)
• we recommend taking it 5 days a week and skipping 2 days
• take on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before a meal or 60 minutes after a meal)
• when consuming vital mushrooms, we recommend increasing vitamin C intake, which increases the absorption of active ingredients. For example, in the form of Brazilian cherry Acerola extract.
