NZ LION'S MANE TINCTURE 50ml

Grown and produced by our mates at Marama's Mushrooms, this tincture is a dual extraction of New Zealand's own Pekepeke-kiore (Hericium novae-zealandiae).

The low-down: 

- 50ml bottle provides 50 servings (one dropperful)  

- Dual extracted process entails a six week alcohol extraction using organic alcohol from Puhoi Organic Distilleries, and a double hot water extraction. The purpose of these two processes is to pull out the water soluble and water insoluble constituents out of the mushroom. 

- 25% alcohol content

- Vegan friendly

- Gluten free

- Shake well before use.

- Perfect to add into your favourite hot or cold beverage. 

Although more research into the functional properties of this mushroom need to occur, here have been a small number of studies that show it contains similar compounds to the Lion's Mane we all know and love, Hericium erinaceus.
