NFH Hericium Erinaceus SAP, 60 Capsules

NFH Hericium Erinaceus SAP is a hot-water extracted lion's mane mushroom — 500 mg, 40% polysaccharides, 35% beta-glucans — sometimes called "nature's nutrient for the neurons" for its unusual effect on nerve growth factor.

What makes lion's mane different from other mushrooms

Unlike most medicinal mushrooms, which are studied primarily for immune effects, lion's mane is known for its ability to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) — a protein whose low levels are linked to early stages of cognitive decline. Lion's mane also supports gastric mucosa health, and carries the general immune and antioxidant benefits common to hot-water extracted medicinal mushrooms.

Often chosen by

• Anyone supporting cognitive function and mental clarity
• People interested in medicinal mushrooms with a nervous-system focus specifically
• Those supporting digestive lining health alongside cognitive goals

Format and exclusions

60 vegetable capsules per bottle, 1 capsule daily with food; use for a minimum of 4 weeks for immune support benefits. Non-GMO, and made without gluten, dairy, soy, or artificial additives.

Before you start

Those with a mushroom allergy should avoid lion's mane. Generally well tolerated; check with a healthcare practitioner if you're on blood-sugar or blood-thinning medication. Store in a cool, dry place, and keep out of reach of children.
