Pure Extract

For a pure 100% grade of the berry extract, which is ideal for naturopaths and their patients, and is nicknamed medical grade, we offer Hericium capsules and powder. This extract is ideal for more complex cases where, for example, brain and mental health issues are addressed with professionals.

Fermented hericium

For those of you who want to harness the potential of fermented mushrooms based on kefir-kombucha fermentation, try Living Nutrition's fermented hericium - it's the same mushroom source and our favourite Graham Botfield is again behind the development.

The benefits of mushroom fermentation include:

• Rich in nutrients that have many health benefits.
• Fermented mushroom supplements offer a convenient way to receive a concentrated dose of mushrooms in an easily digestible form.
• Fermented mushrooms can potentially improve gut health and promote good bacteria, which aids digestion and potentially reduces the risk of digestive disorders.
• Fermented mushrooms are used in traditional medicine around the world to promote vitality and longevity.
• They contain vitamins and minerals such as potassium, niacin, iron and vitamin D, which contribute to overall health.
• They have a high concentration of antioxidants, including ergothioneine and glutathione, which may help reduce inflammation and protect against cell damage.
• Fermented mushrooms are particularly notable for their beta-glucan content, a type of polysaccharide that has immune-boosting properties. Beta-glucans are known to boost immune function and help the body fight off infections.
• Overall, fermented mushrooms represent a nutritional powerhouse that offers a range of health benefits.

Both fermented hericium and common extracts have unique properties. Fermented mushroom provides increased bioavailability, better flavor, and gut health support, while regular extract offers a higher concentration of some beneficial compounds and supports brain and immune system health.

Tradition and quality

Mushrooms for Life sources only the highest quality mushrooms that are organically grown from their own farmers in China. The use of medicinal mushrooms has been a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine and this practice dates back thousands of years.

No country has more extensive knowledge of mushroom cultivation and sourcing than China. China is also home to some of the world's largest and cleanest forests, which provide an ideal environment for fungi to grow.

Based on ongoing DNA analyses, it is widely known that China grows the highest quality mushrooms in the world. Vital mushrooms have been approved in Japan and China for more than 30 years as an adjunct to standard treatment for diseases that are not allowed to be discussed in the EU.

In these countries, mushrooms have been used safely for a long time, either alone or in combination with radiation or chemotherapy.

In Asia, there are more than 100 species of mushrooms used to treat this disease. The most common include Ganoderma lucidum (reishi), Trametes versicolor or Coriolus versicolor (Outcaffe), Lentinus edodes (shiitake) and Grifola frondosa (maitake).

The Story of Mushrooms for Life

Mushrooms For Life was originally founded in 2011 by well-known British naturopath and author Martin Powell with the aim of making the best mushroom supplements widely available and accessible.

Martin, who is fluent in Mandarin, spent many years in China working with experienced local growers to ensure Mushrooms For Life sources the highest quality ingredients, which is a key focus for the brand today.

In 2017 Martin entrusted Mushrooms For Life to his colleagues and experienced mushroom experts Graham Botfield and Ben Shouler, who continue his work to this day.

Why take just hericium mushroom?

Brain health

Studies have found that hericium stimulates the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), which helps maintain neurons, which are brain cells that help us process and transmit information.

It is useful for learning and memory and helps to optimize neurogenesis; the formation and growth of new brain cells, making it an ideal nootropic for promoting focus and productivity.

Immunity

Hericium mushroom contains bioactive substances, including beta-glucans, which can support and modulate the immune system. By boosting the immune response, hericium can help promote overall health.

Mental Health

Studies suggest that hericium may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by modulating levels of specific neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which play a key role in regulating mood, motivation and stress response.

What is the hericium mushroom called lion's mane?

Hericium, or coralline coral, is a vital mushroom that resembles a lion's mane in appearance, which is why it is so often called or nicknamed the 'Mountain Priest'. In alternative medicine, it is used to support the proper functioning of the cognitive and nervous system.
