Certified Lion's Mane clinically proven to boost cognition...create new brain cells!
Lion’s Mane is one of nature’s most powerful ingredients for brain health. Its bioactives (hericenones and hericines) promote Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) - essential for the growth and repair of neurons.
We use a proprietary Finnish biotech extraction - the only EFSA-approved method - achieving 95% bioavailability (vs. ~5% with water extraction or ~50% with dual extraction). That means more of the good stuff: hericenones and erinacines.
Hericenones and Erinacines
Igniting Cognitive Renewal
Our Lion's Mane is grown to have high concentration of Hericenones and Erinacines the main bio-active ingredient supporting cognitive function by stimulating the production of:
- Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and
- Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)
These two molecules are essential for brain health. This activation promotes neurogenesis, strengthens synaptic plasticity, and helps protect neurons from stress and age-related decline. Together, these mechanisms contribute to improved focus, memory, learning capacity, and overall cognitive resilience.
Beta Glucans
Building Immunity
Our Lion's mane is standardised for active Beta 1,3/1,6-glucans which:
- Strengthen immune function by activating key immune cells such as macrophages and NK cells.
- Support gut health through prebiotic activity that nourishes beneficial microbiota.
- Reduce inflammation by modulating immune signalling pathways.
- Enhance overall resilience, helping the body maintain balance during stress and recovery.
Why is our Lion's Mane superior?
-
Standardised Extracts
Our extract is standardised not only for active Beta 1,3/1,6-glucans—the specific polysaccharides shown in research to support immune signalling and gut–immune communication—but also for the neuroactive compounds that give Lion’s Mane its cognitive reputation: hericenones and erinacines. Standardising across both immune-modulating and cognitive-supporting bioactives ensures a consistently potent extract that delivers the full spectrum of Lion’s Mane benefits
-
Bioavailability over dose
95% Bioavailability. Bioavailability simply means how much of an ingredient your
body can truly access/use. Most Lion’s Mane extracts release only ~5% of their
bio actives with water extrusion (or ~50% with dual extraction). Our Ultrasonic
extraction unlocks up to 95%, using the only approved ultrasonic method in the
EU and UK - giving you far more of the mushroom’s beneficial compounds. -
Rigorous testing
Certificate of AnalysisEach batch is independently tested and standardised, offering a level of precision,
consistency and integrity rarely found in the mushroom category. This is vastly different from other Lion's mane extracts mixed with grain. See our Certificate of Analysis (CoA).
Results from Clinical trials show
- All-natural Caffeine-free alternative without the “crash” phenomenon or jittery side effects you may experience from caffeine†
- Supports an increase in alertness and sustain alertness up to 5 h
- Provides sustained mental energy solution you can feel
- No interference to your sleep cycle
- Does not increase base heart rate
How does it work?
Made from a proprietary extract of Alpinia galanga, enXtra targets a cognitive process known as “Attention Network Function” (ANF), which is the ability of the brain to allocate processing resources to a specific task. The ANF system plays a critical role in mental alertness and the ability to focus on a task.
Mechanism of action: A molecular docking study of enXtra demonstrated that its phytoconstituents may interact with neurotransmitters such as dopamine and acetylcholinesterase that play a role in alertness and focus.
