Mane Brain

With its growth in popularity, Lion’s Mane can be found in either its raw form or as a powered supplement for easy ingestion. It’s commonly used for its properties which studies have shown may be beneficial in treating symptoms of anxiety [R], boosting the immune system, increasing brain function, and reducing inflammation [R].

Mane brain reviews

Lion’s mane is a wonder mushroom that has been used for thousands of years by traditional herbalists to boost digestive health.

In modern times, lion’s mane has become famed for its nootropic effects, aiding the brain’s plasticity and capacity to function, as well as supporting nervous system regulation.

Favoured as a culinary delicacy as well as a potent herb, lion’s mane is a restorative that nourishes those of us who are mentally overwhelmed or trying to digest too much out of life.

Being Yin in nature, lion’s mane supports the creation of a healthy gut lining and can support those with gastrointestinal upset. It’s also a tonic for the immune system, supporting a healthy immune response.

The Latin name, Hericium erinaceus, literally translates to ‘hedgehog mushroom,’ and as the Western name suggests, the cascading fruiting body of the mushroom bears striking resemblance to the mane of a lion.

This amazing fungus grows on decaying coniferous trees and is found mostly in Asian continents (although does also feature in North America and some areas of Europe).

Lion’s Mane – The Wonder Mushroom

Our Process

Lion's Mane

Sourcing

Sourcing herbs from their spiritual homeland is born from the Taoist philosophy, called Di Tao (地道). Di Tao poetically translates as the ‘way of the Earth,’ and shows us where to harvest herbs if we wish to experience the herb’s true Spirit. From its ‘original place’ or ‘spiritual homeland’, a method that results in a product that is both full spectrum and medicinally robust.

The relationship that the herb’s growth cycle has developed with the atmosphere, bacteria, insects, mycelium, tree networks and stars of its Di Tao location is something that has been observed and discovered over a very long time, and we feel it deserves acknowledgement, respect and conservation.

Di Tao is the classification given to the highest quality herbs in China, and describes the core sourcing philosophy that we practice here at SuperFeast.

Lion's Mane

Extraction

SuperFeast herbs are expertly extracted by trained herbalists using unique and patented techniques, specific to the herb. These techniques are also ancient, as old as herbalism itself – water, organic rice alcohol, time and pressure create your extracts. Modern techniques like spray-drying help preserve the quality and integrity of the extracts. It’s the best of ancient meets modern.

We don’t follow a pharmaceutical model, we don’t isolate, we don’t standardise, herbs are treated uniquely.

We extract following the Hou Huo (火候) technique, the art of decocting / extracting a herb specifically through adjusted heat, menstruum & length of time. This term roughly translates to heat control; crucial moment; maturity. The practicing tonic herbalists, who use this technique while extracting your herbs, combine their expertise with the relationship they have with the ancient herbs & Taoist philosophy.

All leading to the superior herbal experience that those in our community know & love.Unless otherwise noted, all our products are 10:1 extracts.

See our FAQs and Blogs for more on our extraction processes.

Lion's Mane

10:1 Extraction Ratio

This standard ratio of ours means we use 10 kilos of dry herb to create 1kg of extract powder. This is a traditionally-used extract ratio used in Classical Chinese Medicine. We like this ratio as it allows us to create a product which contains the maximum possible array of naturally occurring medicinal components in their innate and natural ratios. At this ratio there is little waste from what we extract, so we have a true full-spectrum powder without having to eliminate any of the unknown or lesser known compounds that are symbiotic to the herb’s effects.

Lion's Mane

Full Spectrum vs. Standardisation

There is a tendency in Westernised herbal medicine to focus on isolating or increasing active ingredients in herbal products and drugs. Taoist (and traditional) herbalists focus instead on using only whole plants and natural extraction mediums and menstruums (solvents) like water (or tea, or broth) and alcohol/fat (tinctures, wines, oils, etc.) to extract every element possible from the herb. This intention comes from a desire to keep the herb completely unified where possible, and this is the same philosophy and method we apply to our SuperFeast products.
Each herb has hundreds, if not thousands, of bioactive compounds that contribute to the full scope of the herb’s medicinal benefits, and it takes a lot of care to ensure as many of these are present in the extraction as possible. It is through these full-spectrum extractions in ancient times that Taoists were able to identify that these herbs were in fact tonic, and could aid us in cultivating vibrancy within our body and mind.

Storage Information

Remember you’ve bought the highest quality 100% pure herbal extract, there’s no additives or starches added to absorb moisture. To keep your herbs super fresh and ready to rock, we advise keeping them stored in a cool dry space. Ideally your kitchen pantry. Always leave your desiccant (the little white pillow in your jar or bag) in there to absorb moisture.

If you, like us, live in a humid climate, we advise taking extra special care when storing your herbs. Bulk bags can be kept in the freezer in a sealed container. If keeping bags outside the freezer, just ensure you push the air out before sealing and they will stay fresh.

It is best to maintain a consistent herbal practice once the seal is removed, this will minimise the chance of your herbs hardening.

If you are in a humid area, and you only have a small amount of herb left on your jar, it is recommended to occasionally shake the jar to prevent clumping and setting.

NOTE: Capsule products are less fussy, though should still be kept dry and stored in a cool place to ensure longevity.

Mane Brain

No, this isn’t another ‘pre-workout’ chalked full of stimulants, more stimulants, and some extra stimulants.

Mane Brain helps you perform at peak levels inside the gym, on the field, and at the office.

  • Increased Oxygen Utilization During Exercise*
  • Improved Maximum Power Output*
  • Train Harder & Recover Faster*
  • Enhanced Cognitive Ability*

Mane Brain is a blend of three fully-dosed, clinically-proven ingredients:

This blend is unlike anything you’ve ever tried before.

The Science

WHAT IS PEAKO ₂ ?

Peak0₂ is an organic-certified combination of six Ayurvedic mushroom strains grown and harvested right here in the U.S. These mushrooms are powerful adaptogens , which allow athletes to “adapt” to and overcome physical and mental stress, giving you the extra edge you want to take your training to the next level.

WHY PEAKO ₂ ?

Increased power and endurance in only seven days! PeakO₂’s mushroom strains are grown on organic whole oats—a unique process that preserves peak bioactivity for maximum performance.. Peak0₂ contains high levels of beta glucans and L-Ergothioneine, a “master” antioxidant that fights damage from oxidative stress in the body, helping athletes train longer, recover faster, and feel better throughout the process.

Unlike most ingredients that only target singular benefits, PeakO₂ boosts both power and endurance with one ingredient. In a 21-day clinical study at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, PeakO₂ users improved their time to exhaustion by an incredible 70 seconds from baseline; the placebo group improved only 5 seconds from baseline!

PeakO₂ uses Cordyceps millitaris, which has been shown to be more bioactive than sinensis (see studies). The data on whether sinensis (CS4) works for athletic performance is debated. There is no debate with PeakO₂.

In a clinical study at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, competitive athletes supplementing with four grams per day of PeakO₂™ improved their Peak Power Output 17.6% over baseline after only seven days! The placebo group decreased 11.8% compared to baseline. (see studies)

INCREASE VO₂ MAX and TIME TO EXHAUSTION*

In a 21-day clinical study at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, 28 subjects underwent a six-minute high-intensity cycle ride and a three minute all-out cycle test. The PeakO₂ ™ group improved its time to exhaustion by 70 seconds from baseline, compared to a 5 second improvement in the placebo group. ( see studies )

What is Lion’s Mane?

Lion’s Mane is a powerful adaptogenic mushroom found in PEAKO2. New research is showing it deserves a much stronger role, so we added quite a bit extra to our formulation.

‘The reported health-promoting properties of the mushroom fruit bodies, mycelia, and bioactive pure compounds include antibiotic, anticarcinogenic, antidiabetic, antifatigue, antihypertensive, antihyperlipodemic, antisenescence, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and neuroprotective properties and improvement of anxiety, cognitive function, and depression.’

That’s a lot to take in. Why Lion’s Mane?

Cognitive function. To put it simply, Lion’s Mane helps you to perform at optimal levels.*

A recent study was done on Lion’s Mane to see how it helps with mild cognitive impairment (see studies):

Participants were given either Lion’s Mane or Placebo for 16 weeks.

‘At weeks 8, 12 and 16 of the trial, the [Lion’s Mane] group showed significantly increased scores on the cognitive function scale compared with the placebo group. The [Lion’s Mane] group’s scores increased with the duration of intake, but at week 4 after the termination of the 16 weeks intake, the scores decreased significantly. Laboratory tests showed no adverse effect of [Lion’s Mane]. The results obtained in this study suggest that [Lion’s Mane] is effective in improving mild cognitive impairment.’

That’s only one of the benefits of Lion’s Mane, but it’s huge.

Lion

What is elevATP?

elevATP® is a proprietary, clinically researched combination of a water extract of “ancient peat” (fossilized plants) and apple extract that works with our natural energy-producing mechanisms to stimulate production of ATP, the energy currency of the body. (see studies)

What does that mean?

  • Helps improve athletic performance and body composition*
  • Promotes increased power output and training volume*
  • Helps reduce performance decrements associated with overreaching*
  • Supports increased lean muscle and strength*

elevATP supplementation may improve strength and power adaptations in resistance trained men (see studies)
