Consistency matters more than dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between your Lion's Mane and cheaper products?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost products use mycelium on grain — cheap filler with almost no active compounds. We use 100% fruiting body, dual-extracted, standardised. If a product doesn't state \"fruiting body\" and doesn't show standardisation percentages, you're paying for grain powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe long-term?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Lion's Mane has a strong long-term safety profile. Non-toxic, non-psychoactive, non-addictive.
