The Truth Behind Our Mushrooms

Top 7 reasons to geek out on Little Saints’ lion’s mane mushroom extract

1. It’s USDA organic, grown without pesticides or chemicals

2. It’s extracted using ultrasound technology, not solvents or chemicals (the way most mushroom extracts are made)

3. It’s 70% beta glucan, which means it can be up to 700x more potent than dried, ground up lion’s mane. Beta glucans are the functional components of a mushroom – they are soluble dietary fibers that contain the good stuff. For example, if you were to buy a giant lion’s mane at the farmer’s market, that mushroom would contain 0.1% beta glucan. Our organic lion’s mane extract is 70% beta glucan.

4. We are the only beverage brand that we know of to specify the exact dosage of lion's mane on a beverage – 100mg/serving, to be exact. And that’s 100mg/serving of potent, 70% beta glucan, lion’s mane.

5. Our supplier’s mushroom extracts undergo third party lab analysis for potency (we’re not scientists, read more about how lion’s mane is understood to boost cognitive function and help you feel sharper here).

6. Our lion’s mane extract is the only one with official FDA GRAS (generally regarded as safe) designation.

7. Our supplier, a 3rd generation Taiwanese American family business, has a contagious joyful obsession with mushrooms that makes us smile every day.
