"Verified beta-glucan lion's mane extract — not mycelium on grain"
Overview
Real Mushrooms Lion's Mane provides 500mg of hot water extracted lion's mane fruiting body per capsule, verified to contain >25% beta-glucans. Unlike many mushroom supplements that use mycelium grown on grain (which dilutes the active compounds with starch), Real Mushrooms uses only the fruiting body with verified beta-glucan content. This distinction is critical — many mushroom supplements contain mostly grain starch.
