Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps Gummies, 30 ct

Description

Five hundred milligrams of lion’s mane and 250 mg of cordyceps fruiting body extract per gummy, thirty to a jar. No cannabidiol in this one. Lions Mane and cordyceps gummies print the two species separately with the grams each contributes rather than adding them into a 750 mg mushroom blend figure, which is the whole reason a two species product is worth describing at all.

What is in one of these lions mane and cordyceps gummies

Two species, the part of each organism used, the extract weight of each and the extract ratio. Jar totals come to 15,000 mg and 7,500 mg respectively.

• Lions Mane and cordyceps gummies: 500 mg lion’s mane and 250 mg cordyceps per piece
• Count: 30 pieces. Jar totals: 15,000 mg and 7,500 mg of extract
• Material: fruiting body for both species, not mycelium on grain
• Extract ratio: printed per species on the label
• Cannabinoids: none, there is no CBD in this product
• Price: $35 a jar, with the per serving figure on the listing

Why lions mane and cordyceps gummies carry two species

Because they are bought for different reasons and the published work on them is different. Lion’s mane human trials have mostly used cognitive task and self reported outcomes. Cordyceps studies sit more often in exercise contexts. Putting both into one piece is a convenience rather than a synergy claim, and no published trial has tested Lions Mane and cordyceps gummies as a combined product. Every listing in the mushroom range names each species separately with its own figure.

Fruiting body against mycelium on grain

The fruiting body is the mushroom itself. Mycelium on grain is the root structure grown out on rice or oats and sold with the substrate still in it, which inflates the weight and dilutes the active fraction, sometimes until most of the powder is starch. Both species in these Lions Mane and cordyceps gummies are fruiting body extract and the label says so, because the two are not interchangeable at any price and the word mushroom is made to carry both meanings far too often.

Extract ratio, and what makes a milligram figure meaningful

A 10:1 extract means ten kilos of raw material went into one kilo of powder, so 500 mg of a 10:1 is not comparable with 500 mg of whole ground mushroom. Hot water extraction pulls the beta-glucans. Alcohol extraction pulls the triterpenes. Dual extraction does both, and the method is named on the page. Beta-glucan percentage is published where the supplier tests for it, and polysaccharide percentage is flagged as the weaker number because it counts substrate starch too.

Testing every lot

Every lot is tested by an outside laboratory for identity, heavy metals and microbials, with the results published. Identity testing matters because species substitution is documented in this trade and a powder cannot be identified by eye, and on a two species product there are two identities to confirm. Heavy metals matter because fungi concentrate what is in their substrate. Lots failing either are withdrawn and the certificates stay on the results page, which is explained in why we publish the batch that failed.

What the published research measured

Human trials of lion’s mane have typically used 1,000 mg to 3,000 mg a day of extract over weeks, with small samples and preparations that differ enough between studies to make pooling difficult. Cordyceps work in exercise contexts has used figures in a broadly similar range. A piece of Lions Mane and cordyceps gummies sits below the lower end of both. Those are descriptions of what published studies administered rather than claims about this jar, and plain summaries are kept at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.

These are food grade extracts sold by weight, nothing here is a controlled substance and none of it contains psilocybin. Keep the jar closed and cool, since pectin pieces fuse above about 25 degrees. The certificate for the current lot is linked here.
