Before you give up on Lion's Mane,
check what you took.
Lion's Mane often fails before it reaches you. It can be grain instead of mushroom, caps or powder your body can barely break down, or so diluted there's very little left. Each one ends the same way: you take it for a month, feel nothing, and decide it doesn't work.
One. It was grain, not mushroom.
Most Lion's Mane on the shelf is mycelium grown on a block of grain, then dried and milled with the grain still in it. What ends up in the capsule is mostly starch. The label still says Lion's Mane.
Two. It was ground, not extracted.
Even real fruiting body, milled into powder, stays locked inside chitin, the tough fibre a mushroom's cell walls are made of. Your gut can barely break it down, so much of it passes straight through.
Three. It was diluted.
A tincture is mushroom and liquid. Some use very little mushroom for a lot of liquid. The label says Lion's Mane, and doesn't always say how much.
Grain, ground or diluted.
Same ending.
What you probably took
- Mycelium on grain, mostly starch by weight
- Powder, with the chitin never broken
- Very little mushroom per ml
What's in this bottle
- Fruiting body we grow, nothing on grain
- Eight-week dual extraction: alcohol, then hot water
- 200 g of fresh Lion's Mane per 50 ml
What the research looks at
Why Lion's Mane gets studied.
Lion's Mane has been researched for over two decades. Here's where that research stands today.
- Focus & clarityLooked at in a few small human trials. Early results.
- MemoryStudied in labs and in small, short human trials.
- NGFHericenones, from the fruiting body, studied for how they support it.
- Mood & sleepEarly 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.
Chitin locks it in.
Extraction lets it out.
Many of the interesting compounds in Lion's Mane are hidden behind a cell wall made of chitin.
Chitin is the same tough material found in the shells of crabs and insects. It gives the mushroom its structure, but the human body can't break it down. So many of the good compounds stay locked inside and pass through you unused.
So we extract twice. Each one opens a different part:
- Hot water releases the water soluble compounds, like the beta-glucans.
- Alcohol releases the ones that water can't reach, like the hericenones and hericerins.
Alcohol for eight weeks first, then hot water. Both go into the same bottle.
We don't buy our Lion's Mane.
We grow it.
That means we never run short, so we never hold back.

What to expect
It doesn't hit. It builds.
There's no kick on day one. Take it every day for a month, then decide if it's worth keeping.
Week 1
Probably nothing. That's normal. Keep going.
Week 4
The habit runs on its own. You may find a little more clarity, with less afternoon fog.
Week 8
Hard to notice day to day. Easier to notice the day you stop.

Before you decide.
I've tried Lion's Mane before and felt nothing. Why would this be different?
Three reasons, and they're the same three the page opens with. Most of what's sold is mycelium grown on grain, so most of what you took was grain. Powder, even real fruiting body powder, stays locked behind chitin. And some tinctures use very little mushroom for the liquid. This is fruiting body only, extracted in alcohol for eight weeks and then in hot water, with 200 g of fresh Lion's Mane in every 50 ml bottle. That's what changes what reaches you. What doesn't change is the timescale: give it a month, every day, before you decide.
How do I know this isn't mycelium on grain?
Because we grow it, and we only use the fruiting body. Cultivated, harvested, dried, extracted and bottled by us in Lawson. Grain is mostly starch, and the Tryptomics report on our extract found starch (alpha-glucans) too low to measure. See the report.
When will I notice something?
Not in the first week. Lion's Mane works over weeks, not hours. Give it at least a month, ideally eight weeks, every day.
How much do I take?
One dropper, about 1 ml, every morning, in any drink, hot or cold, or straight under the tongue. A 50 ml bottle lasts 50 days. Some people take up to 3 ml.
Is there research behind Lion's Mane?
Yes, and it's still early days. We've gathered the main studies on our Benefits page.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Your first bottle has a 90-day guarantee. Email alex@mindrise.au within 90 days of delivery with your order number and we refund the price of the bottle. You don't need to send it back. Shipping isn't refunded.
How does the subscription work?
A bottle arrives every 45 days. You can skip, move or cancel from your account. Your first box includes a free grow kit. Shipping is calculated at checkout.
There's alcohol in it. Is that a problem?
One dose carries roughly a third of a millilitre. If you take it in something hot, some of it evaporates. If you avoid alcohol completely, this one isn't for you yet.
Can I take it with medication, or while pregnant?
If you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor before you start.
Will it change the taste of my coffee?
It tastes of mushroom, not alcohol. In a strong black or a flat white it blends in. If you want to taste it first, take a dropper on its own.
Individual experiences vary. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor before use.
Gave Lion's Mane a month and felt nothing? Check what you took before you give up on it. This one is fruiting body we grow, through an eight-week dual extraction, with 200 g of fresh Lion's Mane in every 50 ml.
If it isn't for you, email me within 90 days. I refund the bottle and you keep it.
I grow it, I extract it, I bottle it. The dropper is your part.
