Lion’s Mane is considered one of the most interesting mushrooms for gaining and maintaining good health. Very few mushrooms cover such a wide spectrum of therapeutic potential.

The lossless 1:1 hot water extract contains the full Lion's Mane fruiting body in a bioavailable form. Nothing was filtered out, both soluble and insoluble bioactives are present in their natural ratio / synergy. In this case 'lossless' is crucial because we want the product to be 100% in line with the existing clinical research.

Three of the existing human case studies were done with non-extracted dried Lion's Mane fruiting body powder; by hot water extracting this dried powder (like we did) the bioavailability / potential effect increases ± 4 - 10 times (See our FAQ), and the required dosage drops from ± 2 - 3 grams daily to ± 600 - 900 mg daily.

Lion’s Mane contains over 70 bioactive ingredients and can be considered one of the most interesting mushrooms for gaining and maintaining good health. Very few mushrooms cover such a wide spectrum of therapeutic potential.

Oriveda's mycelium supplement is the worlds most potent Lion's Mane supplement in its class. It is based on pure -starch-free- liquid-grown mycelium.

Lion's Mane mycelium contains a group of diterpenes known as Erinacines. Erinacines are seen as the main NGF-inducers in Lion's Mane. They are only found in the mycelium.

This product is freezedried and not extracted because the common extraction methods destroy the heat-sensitive erinacines.

The good news is that Erinacines already have a remarkable effect in tiny dosages. (Similar to psilocybin mushrooms - no need to extract those, right?) Recent clinical trials were all using pure mycelium powders with promising results.

Our research is ongoing though and we hope soon to be able to offer a more concentrated product with improved bioavailability. Concentrated would mean more cost-effective in this case.

Three of the existing human case studies were done with the Lion's Mane fruiting body. This is the most advanced fruiting body extract available.
The formulation is as follows:

• • 1:1 lossless hot-Water Extract:
  'hot-water extract' means the dried / powdered mushroom has been processed to improve its bioavailability, and '1:1 lossless' means that after that step nothing was filtered out - 1kg mushroom = 1 kg extract. All bioactives, both water-solubles and insolubles are still present in their natural ratio. This fraction supplies the main beta-glucan content and amongst other compounds also a small amount of the important hericenones / hericenes (± 0.1 - 0.2%).
• 
  • 100:1 Alcohol Extract:
  This ultra-concentrated fraction used an advanced biotechnological process to isolate and concentrate the unique Lion’s Mane hericenones and hericenes. No other product comes even close to this level of purity: we can guarantee > 1% of hericenones / hericenes. NB - this product itself contains no alcohol.

You may have heard about 'PSK' and 'PSP'. These are composite molecular structures consisting of beta-glucans linked to a protein, aka 'proteo-glycans' or 'glyco-proteins'. These proteo-glycans are also found in other mushrooms such as Reishi, Maitake and ABM and are very bioactive.

'PSP' is an improved version of the Japanese PSK, a patented Turkey Tail mycelium extract developed in the 1970's but now considered outdated and no longer in production because PSP is significantly more potent, not protected by a patent and cheaper to produce. Oriveda's PSP-50 is identical to the original PSP as it was developed in China, over 35 years ago.

Oriveda's PSP-50 has been cultivated and extracted using the original methods. The only difference is a significant higher purity due to the more advanced 21st century pharmaceutical techniques. Only pure COV-1® mycelium (the 'roots' of the mushroom) was used for Oriveda's extract, having the highest level of the desired bioactives. Our objective lab reports confirm the purity and potency of this extract.

Extracted using hot water followed by alcohol precipitation - the main bioactives are water-solubles with a high molecular weight according to research. Alcohol precipitation is a purification process. It removes useless matter and low molecular weight compounds and thus increases the concentration of the marker compounds in the extract. The final product contains no alcohol.

Objectively speaking, this is the best mushroom blend in the market and the only one that makes sense from a logical point of view.

Not 'a lot of mushrooms for the price of one' (which is nonsensical - everything will be underdosed) but a combination of their main marker compounds (several types of beta-glucan, both structurally different and soluble / insoluble variations), the powerful cordycepin compound and including the three main NGF-inducing mushrooms (Lion's Mane, Cordyceps and Tiger Milk), increasing the potential for synergy to the max.

This blend brings you everything needed to rebalance your body and brain.

Beta-glucan is always important as a marker compound, but it is not Cordyceps-specific and it is not responsible for the Cordyceps-specific properties. Beta-glucan supports the immune function.

As said the C+ blend has been optimised for Cordyceps-specific compounds such as cordycepin. When compared against run-of-the-mill Cordyceps products the revitalising potential will be much higher, together with better kidney- and lung-protective properties.

Cordycepin mimics ATP (Adenosine-Tri-Phosphate). ATP is the most important energy provider in our body; it must be present for muscles to contract. To be blunt: no ATP means no heartbeat!

Among the effects of ATP are increased blood flow and vasodilation (opening up your blood vessels); and increasing e.g. the ability to absorb oxygen in the blood stream via the lungs. This results in more energy and vitality; important for endurance athletes and the elderly.

ATP production in the body is decreasing with age, and research showed that supplementation with synthetic ATP has no effect. Now this is where it gets interesting; recent research papers confirm the old belief that Cordyceps improves vitality. Put in scientific terminology: it enhances cellular energy in the form of ATP.

Cordyceps supplementation with a high level of cordycepin will help to restore and maintain vitality and increase physical endurance. It also restores normal testosteron levels if these are too low.

The CS-4 mycelium strain of Cordyceps sinensis is the most researched form (over 98% of all research) and has in fact better properties than wild natural Cordyceps in terms of the presence of nucleosides such as adenosine.

In Cordyceps militaris the cordycepin nucleoside has been the main subject of research in the past decades. It is an important bioactive compound and a marker for Cordyceps militaris' quality.

Oriveda C+ blends 66.6 % Cordyceps CS-4 mycelium extract and 33.4% Cordyceps militaris (CM) fruiting body extract into one product. The level of cordycepin is guaranteed to be > 1%, making it the most potent Cordyceps extract currently on the market, outclassing the best of the rest at least 3 times.

What sets functional mushrooms apart from pharmaceuticals and what makes them particularly effective is the synergistic effect of the combined bioactives (mainly Beta-Glucans, glycoproteins/proteo-glycans, polyphenols and Ganoderic Acids [-a type of triterpenes-] ). Functional mushrooms in general have no side effects either.

In the case of mushrooms extraction defines the therapeutic potential, since we cannot digest non-extracted mushrooms properly. See this -highly recommended!- link for more details.

Extraction is essential for an actual therapeutic effect, and dual extraction is the best option in the case of Reishi - it ensures both water-solubles and insolubles are present in a bioavailable form.

According to research* the average amount of beta-glucans in wild-harvested Chaga is around 10-14% when properly extracted.

Oriveda's Chaga extract contains significantly more: over 20 % of bioactive beta-glucan.

This high percentage is possible because we use advanced purification techniques, removing useless matter such as wood from the raw Chaga. Most people don't know that only ± 10% of the Chaga conk is actually 'mushroom', the rest is mainly useless wood.**

By removing the 'non-Chaga' matter the potency increases significantly. Our lab test reports confirm this. The final product offers way better value for money than the crude extracts available elsewhere.

The final product contains no alcohol.
