It contains special compounds that can boost your cognitive function and brain health. The most well-known of these compounds go by the names Hericenones and Erinacines, and they act like food for your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can find Hericenones in the fruiting body<\/strong>, the part of the mushroom that grows above ground. Conversely, <strong>Erinacines exist in the mycelium, the underground root-like network<\/strong>. Both compounds contribute to lion&#8217;s mane&#8217;s neuroprotective benefits and play a role in stimulating the nerve growth factor (NGF).<sup data-fn=\"dba21337-78be-4e85-8dcf-62254cabb44e\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#dba21337-78be-4e85-8dcf-62254cabb44e\" id=\"dba21337-78be-4e85-8dcf-62254cabb44e-link\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lion\u2019s mane is the only edible mushroom that promotes NGF, making it the best mushroom supplement for brain health.

Here are 6 tips to help you make the right choice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-choose-a-lion-s-mane-supplement-extracted-from-fruiting-bodies\">1)&nbsp;&nbsp; Choose a lion\u2019s mane supplement extracted from fruiting bodies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A genuine lion&#8217;s mane mushroom supplement <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intelligentlabs.org\/lions-mane-mycelium-vs-fruiting-body\/\">should come from the fruiting bodies, not the mycelium<\/a><\/strong>. As mentioned earlier, the fruiting bodies grow above ground and people commonly refer to them as &#8216;the mushroom&#8217; itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s true that mycelium does have certain benefits (it\u2019s rich in Erinacines), we don\u2019t recommend mycelium-based supplements. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/lion-s-mane-mushroom-extract-07.png\" alt=\"Lion's mane mushroom extract\" class=\"39117\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:300px;height:272px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Most commercially sold mushrooms are grown on grain substrates (usually rice or oats), which isn\u2019t a problem per se. However, manufacturers often mix the substrate with the mycelia, which artificially inflates the polysaccharide content. The resulting product often contains very little mycelium, which means you\u2019re not getting what you paid for and you won\u2019t enjoy the benefits associated with mycelium.<sup data-fn=\"7d8f4cf3-2852-4b91-ba2d-1ec1c5bf07c8\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#7d8f4cf3-2852-4b91-ba2d-1ec1c5bf07c8\" id=\"7d8f4cf3-2852-4b91-ba2d-1ec1c5bf07c8-link\">8<\/a><\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <strong><u>Intelligent Labs Lion\u2019s Mane supplement<\/u><\/strong> is extracted 100% from the fruiting bodies. We use no part of the mycelium. A 2-capsule serving of our Lion\u2019s Mane supplement contains 1,000mg of pure fruiting body extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-nbsp-nbsp-check-the-beta-glucans-content\">2)&nbsp;&nbsp; Check the Beta Glucans content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage of choosing fruiting bodies over mycelium-based supplements is the Beta Glucans content. These are polysaccharides found mainly in fruiting bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potential health benefits include boosting immune health,<sup data-fn=\"c82da42d-092f-4cba-89b9-33cb5a1b8fbd\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#c82da42d-092f-4cba-89b9-33cb5a1b8fbd\" id=\"c82da42d-092f-4cba-89b9-33cb5a1b8fbd-link\">9<\/a><\/sup> and lowering cholesterol levels and risk of heart disease.<sup data-fn=\"66bdffd7-9c93-42d7-bc28-16a0ed3aa950\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#66bdffd7-9c93-42d7-bc28-16a0ed3aa950\" id=\"66bdffd7-9c93-42d7-bc28-16a0ed3aa950-link\">10<\/a><\/sup> The mycelium has zero to little beta glucans content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our <strong><u>Intelligent Labs Lion\u2019s Mane supplement<\/u><\/strong>, we standardize the beta glucans content to at least 25%. This helps ensure you don\u2019t just enjoy lion\u2019s mane\u2019s brain boosting benefits, but get well-rounded health support, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-nbsp-nbsp-the-extraction-method-used\">3)&nbsp;&nbsp; The extraction method used<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lion\u2019s mane is a medicinal mushroom, so the extraction method matters a lot. Otherwise, the bioactive compounds can easily be destroyed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The traditional extraction method for fruiting bodies involves the use of hot water. This process melts away the chitin (fibrous material) and dissolves the beta glucans. Once the water evaporates, the bioactive compounds remain. This is the lion\u2019s mane extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use this hot water method for our Lion\u2019s Mane supplement. We don\u2019t use alcohol or any harsh chemicals. When you use our product, you get 100% pure mushroom extract with all natural compounds intact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-nbsp-nbsp-choose-a-lion-s-mane-mushroom-extract-over-ordinary-powder\">4)&nbsp;&nbsp; Choose a lion\u2019s mane mushroom extract over ordinary powder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ordinary lion\u2019s mane powder does not go through an extraction process (like the hot water method described above). It\u2019s just plain powder grounded from dried mushrooms. They are typically cheaper than extracts and they retain the mushroomy smell and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, lion\u2019s mane extracts are highly concentrated. But contrary to what you may expect, the mushroom flavor isn\u2019t retained. This explains why our supplement has a neutral smell and taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend choosing <strong>lion\u2019s mane mushroom extract<\/strong> if you want to enjoy the health benefits associated with these mushrooms. Since the bioactive compounds are concentrated, you get the best bang for your buck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-the-best-mushroom-supplement-for-brain-health-is-third-party-tested\">5)&nbsp;&nbsp; The best mushroom supplement for brain health is third-party tested<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Third-party testing is important to ensure you\u2019re actually getting what you paid for. For instance, it\u2019s easy for manufacturers to make all kinds of claims on product labels and marketing materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Intelligent Labs, our products go through third-party testing. Moreover, we manufacture exclusively at an NSF GMP-certified facility in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-you-want-to-get-good-value-for-your-money\">6)&nbsp;&nbsp; You want to get good value for your money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A lion&#8217;s mane supplement extracted from the fruiting bodies (not the mycelium) provides excellent value. They contain no substrate, so you can trust that the label values aren&#8217;t inflated. As previously stated, the fruiting bodies are rich in compounds like Hericenones and Beta Glucans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lion\u2019s mane mushrooms have gained considerable attention in recent years due to its potential to enhance <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intelligentlabs.org\/lions-mane-mushroom-cognitive-benefits\/\">cognitive function and brain health<\/a><\/strong>. However, keep in mind that supplements are just one piece of the brain health puzzle &#8211; always factor in a healthy lifestyle.
