Frequently Asked Questions about Hou Tou Gu Extract
What is Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus)?
Lion's Mane is an edible mushroom - a fungus, not a plant - botanically named Hericium erinaceus. Instead of a cap and stem, it forms a rounded white body covered in long, cascading spines that look like a lion's mane or a shaggy head, which is why it also goes by names such as monkey head mushroom (Hou Tou Gu in Chinese, the term in our product URL), yamabushitake in Japanese, and bearded tooth mushroom. It grows on hardwood trees across the Northern Hemisphere and has long been enjoyed both as a culinary mushroom and in traditional herbalism. Our product is made from the dried fruiting body - the visible mushroom itself - and offered in two forms: an alcohol-free glycerite and a traditional alcohol-based tincture. Each batch is made from carefully sourced raw material. This is a whole-mushroom liquid extract that carries the fungus's natural spectrum of constituents, not an isolated or standardized single-compound product, and we label it clearly by name and part used.
What is the difference between the alcohol-free drops and the tincture?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Hericium erinaceus fruiting body; only the solvent differs. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, giving it a naturally mild taste that suits those who avoid alcohol. The tincture uses alcohol as the traditional solvent, with vegetable glycerin and water. Both deliver the mushroom's constituents in a convenient liquid you take by the drop. Choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture for a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life.
Is this made from the fruiting body or mycelium?
This is an important distinction for mushroom supplements. Our product is made from the fruiting body - the actual mushroom you would recognize growing on a log. Many mushroom supplements on the market are instead made from mycelium (the root-like network of fungal threads) grown on grain, where the finished powder can include a large amount of the grain it was grown on. Because we use the fruiting body, our extract represents the mushroom itself. It also helps to explain a couple of names: Hou Tou Gu is simply the Chinese name for this mushroom and appears in our product URL, while Lion's Mane is the common English name - they refer to the same fungus, Hericium erinaceus. Our extract is a whole-fruiting-body preparation that preserves the mushroom's own natural spectrum of constituents, such as its beta-glucans, rather than being concentrated to a single isolated compound. We label our product clearly by name, species and the part used so there is no confusion with mycelium-on-grain products.
How do I use Lion's Mane liquid extract?
Shake well before use. Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. Drink the entire contents.
Is Lion's Mane extract right for everyone? Safety and storage.
Lion's Mane is an edible mushroom with a long history of food use and is generally well tolerated. Anyone with a mushroom allergy should avoid it. If you are pregnant or nursing, take any medication, or have a medical condition, talk with a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children, and do not exceed the suggested serving. Store as directed on the label. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
