About This Product
Purica Lion's Mane Memory Support (VCaps) are vegetable capsules of organic, full-spectrum lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus), 400 mg each, sold in bottles of 120 or 360. They are licensed for sale by Health Canada and bear NPN 80036328. The recommended use on the label is short:
Promotes cognitive health.
What is in the capsule
Lion's mane is an edible white mushroom with long cascading spines, known in Japan as yamabushitake. Purica grows it in Canada on organic plant material and uses the full life cycle: mycelium, primordia and fruiting body. That matters for two compound families. Erinacines are found mainly in the mycelium, and hericenones mainly in the fruiting body, so a product made from one stage alone carries mostly one of them.
The harvested material is micronized to 1 to 10 microns. Milling breaks open the chitin of the cell walls while keeping the whole mushroom, which is the difference from a water or alcohol extract. Each capsule is hypromellose, a plant cellulose shell, with silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose and plant-source magnesium stearate as the other non-medicinal ingredients. Purica lists it as organic, vegan and gluten-free.
How to take it
The label gives two adult doses: 2 capsules a day for maintenance and 5 capsules a day for a therapeutic dose. At 2 a day, a 120 bottle lasts 60 days and a 360 bottle lasts 180 days. At 5 a day they last 24 and 72 days. It may cause stomach discomfort, and the label asks you to consult a practitioner first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Other Purica lion's mane formats
The same mushroom comes as a 100 g powder (900 mg per quarter teaspoon) for coffee or smoothies, and in Purica Complete 360, where lion's mane is one of eight mushrooms plus ashwagandha. This page is for people who want lion's mane on its own in a measured capsule.
Who it suits
Adults who prefer capsules to powder, and anyone who takes it daily and wants the 360 count to cut reorders. It has no caffeine and no added stimulants.
Purica Lion's Mane FAQ
Is lion's mane a psychedelic mushroom?
No. It is an edible culinary mushroom and contains no psilocybin.
Do the 120 and 360 bottles differ?
Only in count. Both carry the 400 mg capsule and NPN 80036328.
Can I open the capsules?
The label does not cover opening them. If you would rather mix it into a drink, the 100 g powder is the measured option.
Is it vegan?
Yes. The shell is hypromellose and Purica lists the product as vegan and gluten-free.
