We’re thrilled to announce the release of our most powerful Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps tinctures to date! 🌿🔬
These tinctures are the result of careful sourcing, balanced extraction, and a deep respect for the whole mushroom. With a synergistic blend of fruiting body and mycelium, we’re capturing the full potential of these extraordinary fungi. 🍄
We only have a small batch at the moment, and we're not sure when we'll have more - this special, limited-supply stock is flying off the shelves, and we'd love for you to experience the magic and deeply nourishing benefits they bring!
How We Did It: A Potent Full-Spectrum Approach
We’ve upgraded our process to ensure our tinctures deliver maximum benefits—naturally and ethically.
✨ Intentional Extraction – We extract using both alcohol and hot water to ensure you get the full range of bioactive compounds—beta-glucans, terpenoids, hericenones, erinacenes and cordycepin.
✨ Whole Organism From an Exceptional Source – We use a carefully balanced combination of the fruiting body and mycelium to create a full-spectrum extract. Our mushrooms are sourced from Phi Factor Farms in Armstrong, BC, who grow their own organic millet for the growing medium. The mycelium is meticulously cleaned to remove residual grain, ensuring high purity and potency. We also add locally-grown, fresh fruiting body to the Lion’s mane tincture.
✨ Small-Batch Crafting – Every batch is handcrafted in-house so we can maintain quality, consistency, and peak strength. We macerate these mushrooms for one month, with lots of love.
🌱 Mycelium vs. Fruiting Body – Why We Use Both
Fruiting Body ~ Contains more hericenones, key compounds for brain health and regeneration.
Mycelium ~ Contains more erinacines, which also support nerve growth and may cross the blood-brain barrier.
🧠 Lion’s Mane: Your Brain’s Best Friend
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is beloved for its powerful support of:
-
Cognitive function and memory
-
Nerve regeneration (via NGF stimulation)
-
Mood balance and neuroprotection
This mushroom has an affinity to the nervous system and digestive tract. In traditional Chinese medicine, Lion’s mane “strengthens the stomach, regulates Qi, tonifies the spleen, promotes digestion, calms the shen, and strengthens the brain” (Powell, 2014). These organs are negatively impacted by worry, over-thinking, and negative thoughts - which is where Lion’s mane comes in! The polysaccharides in Lion’s mane - most concentrated in the fruiting body - also work to repair mucous membranes in the stomach and digestive tract.
Lion’s mane is revered for its cognitive longevity properties, especially in those middle-aged or older. This has been backed up by clinical trials in recent years for both enhanced cognition, neuroprotective effects, and nerve regeneration abilities. A small 2009 trial showed that adults aged 50-80 with mild cognitive impairment had significantly increased scores in a cognitive function test compared to the placebo group (Mori et al., 2009).
There has also been a small double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in healthy young adults showing improved acute cognition and reduced subjective stress over a 28 day period (Docherty, Doughty & Smith, 2023).
Another important reason that Lion’s Mane promotes longevity is because it improves peace of spirit by reducing anxiety and depression while improving sleep, illustrated in a study on menopausal women having these experiences (Nagano et al., 2010).
⚡ Cordyceps: Natural Energy and Endurance
Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris) is the mushroom of vitality and stamina, supporting:
-
Increased energy and oxygen uptake
-
Improved endurance and physical performance
-
Balanced immune and adrenal function
🌱 Mycelium vs. Fruiting Body – Why We Use Both?
Fruiting Body – Rich in cordycepin, a potent compound that supports ATP production and energy metabolism.
Mycelium – Adds complementary compounds that support immune health and metabolic function.
🧪 What You’ll Notice
With regular use, many customers report:
-
Sharper mental focus due to increased oxygen uptake.
-
Enhanced energy and stamina, likely due to adrenal support and stimulation of testosterone production
-
Faster recovery after workouts and improved athletic performance, as demonstrated by athletes taking cordyceps and breaking world records in the 1993 Chinese National Games
We're so excited for you to try this beautiful new batch! ✨
