Purica Lion's Mane Memory Support Powder (100 g)

Purica Lion's Mane Memory Support Powder (100 g) is organic, full-spectrum lion's mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) as a loose powder, 900 mg per quarter teaspoon, in a 100 g glass jar. It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80068681. Source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties.

What is in the jar

One ingredient: organic lion's mane grown in Canada on organic plant material. The powder uses the full life cycle of the mushroom, the mycelium, primordia and fruiting body. Erinacines are concentrated in the mycelium and hericenones in the fruiting body, so the whole-cycle powder carries both groups of compounds.

Purica micronizes the harvest to 1 to 10 microns. Milling that fine breaks the chitin cell walls and gives a soft powder that mixes into liquid, without the solvent step of an extract. There is no capsule shell, flavour, sweetener or flow agent in the jar.

How to take it

The label gives two adult doses: 1/4 teaspoon (900 mg) once a day for maintenance, and 1/2 teaspoon (1,800 mg) once a day, or more if desired, as the therapeutic dose. A 100 g jar holds about 111 quarter-teaspoon servings, or about 55 half-teaspoon servings. Stir it into coffee, tea, hot chocolate or a smoothie. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a practitioner before use.

Powder or capsules

Purica Lion's Mane also comes in 400 mg capsules in 120 and 360 counts. The powder is the lower cost per gram and the easier way to take the larger dose, since 1,800 mg would be between four and five capsules. Capsules are simpler away from home.

Who it suits

Adults who already have a morning coffee or tea habit, people who do not like swallowing capsules, and anyone who wants lion's mane with no fillers at all.

How Purica makes it

Each lion’s mane culture starts from a sterile tissue sample of a selected strain and grows indoors in Canada on organic plant substrate. Purica sends each batch for third-party testing of purity and potency before it is milled. The powder ships in an amber glass jar with a metal lid, and the label reads Made in Canada.
