Neither would we. Extracts concentrate selected compounds while leaving others behind. Forest takes a different approach: we use the whole Lion’s Mane—fruiting body and mycelium—then freeze-dry it together. The mycelium matters because it’s where Erinacine A is produced. Independent testing detected 14.65 μg/g of Erinacine A and 49.2% beta-glucans in our finished Lion’s Mane. Australian-grown. No extracts. No fillers.

Not enough history yet to show a trend.
