What the research looks at
Why researchers keep coming back to it.
Lion's Mane has been researched for over two decades. Here's where that research stands today.
Focus & clarity
Looked at in a few small human trials. Early results.
Memory
Studied in labs and in small, short human trials.
NGF
Hericenones, from the fruiting body, studied for how they support it.
Mood & sleep
Early research, with very few human studies.
Our extract is tested for hericerin, one of the compounds in that research. See the report
The research is early.

Fruiting Body Only
We only use the fruiting body, the mushroom you can see and cook. Every MindRise bottle is 100% fruiting body, grown on our farm in the Blue Mountains.
Rich in Beta-Glucans
Lion’s Mane is rich in beta-glucans, fibres that are being studied for their role in the immune system and gut health.
Lab Tested
We send our extract to independent labs to test beta-glucans, active compounds, heavy metals and microbial safety.
