What's lion's mane
Hericium erinaceus — Lion's Mane — takes its name from its distinctive cascading, mane-like fruiting body. In East-Asian herbal practice it is known as the mushroom of clarity and mental fortitude, with a long tradition of use in both Chinese and Japanese herbal medicine and a particularly notable association with Buddhist monastic practice — traditionally used by monks as a functional food to support sustained concentration and composure during meditation and study. It also appears in the Shennong Ben Cao Jing, China's oldest herbal text, as a mushroom prized for overall vitality.
In modern nutritional science, Lion's Mane is naturally rich in hericenones (in the fruiting body) and erinacines (in the mycelium) — compounds studied by researchers worldwide for their effects on neural health and cognitive function. Gribb grows Lion's Mane on their own certified-organic farm in Portugal under PT-BIO-10 and dual extracts it to a 10:1 ratio — each 2,000mg serving equivalent to 20,000mg dehydrated fruiting body — standardised to 32–40% beta-glucans (β1,3/β1,6), lab-tested every batch.

Vegan HPMC (pine fibre). 2 capsules daily with water. Same formula, same dose — for people who want the benefit without integrating powder into their routine.
Ideal for
- You want the functional mushroom most associated with clarity and mental fortitude in East-Asian herbal tradition Lion's Mane has been valued in East-Asian herbal practice for mental clarity and composure for centuries. Buddhist monks used it as a daily functional food specifically to support their practice. In modern nutritional science it is naturally rich in hericenones — compounds studied worldwide for their role in neural health. Among all functional mushrooms, Lion's Mane carries the most specific and consistent traditional association with cognitive and mental fortitude.
- You want to build your morning ritual around the clarity mushroom — powder in your coffee or capsules before the day begins Lion's Mane is the quintessential morning functional mushroom. Traditionally associated with mental clarity and sustained focus, it pairs naturally with morning coffee, matcha, or any morning drink. The powder is flavour-neutral — a slight sweetness and mild mushroom note that integrates easily into flavoured drinks.
- You want 100% Lion's Mane at maximum concentration — not diluted at 20–25% in a blend In the Serenity blend Lion's Mane is at 50% = 1,000mg per serving. In the 5 Mushroom blend it is at 20% = 400mg. The standalone powder or capsules deliver 2,000mg of pure Lion's Mane per dose — the maximum available in the Gribb range. For those who want Lion's Mane as their primary daily mushroom, the standalone format is the right choice.

What to expect
Ritual beats intensity. Same time, every day. That's the whole game.
WEEK 1–2
Your body is absorbing and adjusting to the blend. The functional mushrooms
and adaptogenic botanicals need time to build in your system — most people
notice little change yet and that is completely normal. Stay consistent.
WEEK 3
This is usually when subtle shifts begin. Days feel slightly more even. The
afternoon dip that used to derail you starts to feel less sharp. Not a spike —
a steadier floor.
MONTH 1+
The cumulative effect. Most people at this point notice the difference on the
days they forget to take it. The vitality feels like yours — not something
borrowed from caffeine.

Why dual extraction matter
Most functional mushroom products use a single extraction — which means they only capture part of what this mushroom has to offer.
Gribb's tincture uses a dual-extraction process: first with hot water to release the water-soluble beta-glucans, then with organic alcohol to extract the fat-soluble compounds. The two extracts are then combined into a single, full-spectrum liquid. It's a more time-intensive method — and the reason this tincture delivers what a capsule or powder alone cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hericenones are a group of aromatic compounds found in the fruiting body of Hericium erinaceus and not present in other common functional mushrooms. They were first isolated and identified by Japanese researchers in the 1990s and have since been the subject of significant international research interest for their effects on neural health, particularly in relation to Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) synthesis. NGF is a protein involved in the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons. Lion's Mane is the only functional mushroom known to naturally contain hericenones in the fruiting body, which is why whole fruiting body dual extraction — as in Gribb's formula — is important for delivering the complete Lion's Mane profile.
Lion's Mane contains both water-soluble compounds (beta-glucans and polysaccharides — released by hot water extraction) and fat-soluble compounds including hericenones, which are partially lipophilic and benefit from an organic alcohol extraction stage. The hericenones are predominantly in the fruiting body and are captured more completely by dual extraction than by hot water alone. Gribb's 10:1 dual extraction combines both stages — standardising to 32–40% beta-glucans (confirming the water-soluble layer) while the alcohol stage captures the hericenone fraction that makes Lion's Mane nutritionally distinctive.
Morning — consistently, across all herbal traditions and modern user practice. Lion's Mane has been associated with mental clarity, focus, and composure for centuries — properties that are most useful at the start of a productive day. Buddhist monks consumed it before study and meditation. Most functional mushroom practitioners take it in the morning with coffee or as part of a pre-work ritual. It is not associated with sleep disruption and can technically be taken any time, but the traditional and practical alignment is morning use for cognitive support throughout the day.
It means the mushroom is extracted twice using two different solvents. First, hot water pulls out the water-soluble compounds — primarily beta-glucans and polysaccharides. Then, organic alcohol extracts the fat-soluble compounds — including riterpenoids — that hot water cannot reach.
The two extracts are combined to create a single full-spectrum tincture. It's more labour-intensive than single extraction, but it produces a significantly more complete product.
It means 10kg of dehydrated mushroom is concentrated down to produce 1kg of extract powder. So each 2g serving of Gribb's powder is equivalent in potency to 20g of the raw whole mushroom.
This concentrated format ensures every dose delivers a meaningful, standardised amount of beta-glucans and bioactive compounds — not just mushroom powder with unknown potency.
Beta-glucans (β1,3 and β1,6) are the primary bioactive polysaccharides found in functional mushrooms, and they're what most of the research into mushroom wellness focuses on.
The standardisation to 32–40% beta-glucans tells you that every batch of Gribb's mushrooms contains a consistent, meaningful amount of these compounds — not just mushroom powder of unknown potency.
It's the difference between a functional product and a decorative one.
No — Lion's Mane is one of the most pleasant-tasting functional mushroom powders in the range. It has a mild, slightly sweet, faintly seafood-like character (some describe it as reminiscent of crab or lobster — this comes from naturally occurring glutamic acid). At a standard 2g dose in any flavoured drink, it is essentially invisible. In water alone it has a subtle, mild mushroom note. In coffee, matcha, or oat milk it disappears entirely. It is noticeably more palatable than Reishi (bitter) or Chaga (earthy) as a standalone powder.
If you already have a morning smoothie, matcha, or yogurt ritual — the powder is the obvious choice. It blends invisibly and adds zero preparation time.
If you'd rather not think about it at all, the capsules are exactly what they are: 2 capsules daily with water, done. Both contain the same extract at the same dose. The choice is purely about how you prefer to take it.
Yes — is designed for daily use as part of a consistent wellness routine.
As with any supplement, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking medication, please consult your healthcare provider before starting. This is a food supplement, not a medicine, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Yes. Every mushroom used in Gribb's Lion's Mane tincture is grown on Gribb's own certified-organic farm in Portugal — certified under PT-BIO-10. No third-party mushrooms are ever used, which means full traceability from spore to bottle. Every batch is lab-tested for beta-glucan content and purity before it leaves the farm.
