Rooted Actives Lion's Mane Mushroom 60 Capsules

Lion's Mane Capsules are 2-a-day fruiting body extract capsules for focus, memory and mental clarity. No mixing, no taste. Each capsule is standardised for beta-glucans so your dose stays consistent.

Lion's Mane benefits: what the mushroom is studied for

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) has been eaten in East Asia for centuries. Modern interest comes from 2 compound families inside it: hericenones and erinacines.

Researchers study both for their role in nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein involved in building and maintaining the connections your brain uses for memory and learning.

In a small Japanese trial, older adults with mild cognitive decline scored better on cognitive tests after 16 weeks of daily Lion's Mane. Their scores dropped again once they stopped. So treat it as a daily habit.

A brain fog supplement for modern life

Most people who buy Lion's Mane capsules don't have a medical condition. They have 9 hours of screens, patchy sleep and back-to-back calls.

•      Students in exam season

•      Professionals doing deep-focus work

•      People over 40 building a long-term brain routine

•      Anyone whose focus fades by mid-afternoon

Lion's Mane has no caffeine. People describe the effect as clearer thinking that builds over weeks, with no spike and no crash.

Fruiting body vs mycelium: why sourcing matters

This is the biggest quality check on any Lion's Mane mushroom supplement.

• Fruiting body extract: This is the actual mushroom itself and is the form used in most research.
• Mycelium on grain: This is the root-like growth of the mushroom, often sold together with the grain it grows on.
• Research: Fruiting body extracts are generally more studied, while mycelium-on-grain products have comparatively less research.
• Beta-glucans: In fruiting body extracts, beta-glucans come from the mushroom. In mycelium-on-grain products, grain starch can contribute to the measured content.
• Rooted Actives: Uses fruiting body extracts and does not use mycelium-on-grain. 

How to pick the best Lion's Mane capsules

Skip the front of the bottle. Turn it around and check 4 things:

1.    Fruiting body, stated on the label

2.    The species name: Hericium erinaceus

3.    Hot-water or dual extraction, so the compounds can be absorbed

4.    A lab report you can actually open. Ours are on our certificates page

How to take it and what timeline to expect

Dose - 2 capsules a day, with or without food

When - Any time. Pick a time you'll remember
