What is MicoVital ® Lions Mane?
MicoVital ® Lions Mane is a dietary supplement based on the extract of the lions mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), which is used exclusively for the fruiting body, which contains a higher concentration of polysaccharides (beta-glucans) and triterpenes such as hericenone, with neurotrophic
properties.
The product is available in two formats: capsules with the dry extract and in bottles with the liquid extract.
For both types of organic lions mane extract, only fruiting bodies are used. They are extracted with ultrasound assisted technology (UAE), and with hot water and alcohol. With this innovative extraction method, we are able to maximize the bioavailability of the compounds of interest found in lions mane
.
With Nordic Mushrooms seal.
MicoVital ® Lions Mane — Dry extract in capsules
In addition to lions mane fruiting body extract, it contains zinc and copper, which contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the protection of cells against oxidative damage, and vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to the maintenance of mucous membranes, skin and vision under normal conditions.
MicoVital ® Lions Mane — Liquid extract
It contains only the liquid lions mane extract in a convenient presentation: 50 ml bottle. It can be taken by adding it to coffee, tea or smoothies, or directly sublingually.
Ideal to take it at noon and improve your mental performance.
What are medicinal mushrooms?
Although until a few years ago fungi were classified as vegetables, today they are considered to constitute an independent kingdom of equal rank as animals and plants. With a high nutritional profile of proteins, micronutrients and important bioactive compounds, they are an important nutritional tool for taking care
of our health.
They represent an important source of biologically active polysaccharides in fruiting bodies or in some cases sterile heads. Most of these polysaccharides belong to the beta-glucan group; they have beta- (1—>3) bonds in the glucan backbone and additional beta- (1—>6) branch points that are responsible for the properties of these
medicinal fungi.
Advantages of using fruiting bodies and sterile heads vs mycelium
In the MicoVital ® line of medicinal mushrooms, we only use the fruiting bodies of fungi, using birch bark from the forests of Finland as a substrate. As an exception, we have the Chaga mushroom, which is collected from birch trees in the forests of Finnish Lapland and whose sterile heads are used, and the Cordiceps, which is a fungus that concentrates the compounds of interest in the mycelium.
Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE)
Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) is an innovative extraction technique that significantly improves the performance of compounds of interest in the final extract
.
During extraction, mechanical vibrations are sent through the liquid suspension that cause enormous pressure flows on or within small areas located in the liquid suspension.
This causes what is known as acoustic or ultrasonic cavitation, which forms small pressure bubbles on the surface of the mushroom cells present in the solvent; these eventually implode or “collapse”, causing an opening in the cell wall of the fungus and exposing the internal constituents to the solvent of the extract.
In this way, the UAE is similar to a key that “opens the treasure chest” enclosed within the walls of fungal cells, easily releasing compounds of interest and optimizing extraction.
Lions mane
Lions mane (Hericium erinaceus) is an edible and medicinal holarctic mushroom. It is also known as “monkey head mushroom” (Hou Tou Gu), “hedgehog mushroom” or “pom-pom-blanc
”.
It can be identified by its tendency to grow as rounded groups of long-spined beards of whitish color when it sprouts, giving it its characteristic appearance and for which it is called lions mane.
In Chinese tradition and in Asian medicinal cuisine, it is a very popular mushroom, whose use dates back to the 16th century during the Ming Dynasty, where it is used to “nourish the intestine”. In addition, Buddhist monks used to use lions mane as an infusion to improve their concentration
during meditation.
Why is MicoVital ® Lions Mane extract so special?
- For both formats of the organic lions mane extract, only fruiting bodies are used.
- “Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE)” technology, spring water and alcohol are used as a preservative for the final extract. With this innovative extraction method, we are able to maximize the bioavailability of the compounds of interest found in lions mane .
- The liquid extract uses Miron violet glass bottles, a unique type of glass container known as biophotonic. Miron glass also filters harmful rays while filtering infrared, ultraviolet and violet lights, extending the lifespan and effectiveness of the product. Due to a particular mix of minerals present inside the Miron glass, this bottle also guarantees optimal nutrient preservation .
