Manefocus Lions Mane & Ginkgo

Because most quote the whole-mushroom equivalent rather than the extract weight. Manefocus prints the extract: 600mg. The equivalent at 11:1 to 14:1 is 6,600 to 8,400mg. Both describe the same capsule, so compare like with like, and check whether a product tells you which figure it is giving you.

Fruit body. The specification names Hericium erinaceus fruit body as the part used, which matters because mycelium is often grown on grain and the grain can end up in the powder.

11:1 to 14:1, stated as an indicative value, extracted with hot water. So the 600mg of extract in two capsules was made from 6,600 to 8,400mg of whole mushroom.

The extract is specified at a minimum of 30% polysaccharides, so a two-capsule serving carries at least 180mg.

No carriers. The raw material specification states carriers: none, so the 600mg is the extract rather than extract plus a bulking agent.

That is what Manefocus is: 600mg of lion’s mane extract and 120mg of ginkgo biloba leaf in the same two-capsule serving, with Korean ginseng equivalent to 600mg of root. Ginkgo biloba helps the maintenance of memory. Korean ginseng contributes to mental and cognitive activity.

Two cautions come with the ginseng and the ginkgo: keep it away from anticoagulant and antidiabetic medication, and stop at least two weeks before any planned surgery. If you take anything else regularly, ask your GP or pharmacist first. It contains sulphites.

Lions mane is a mushroom, Hericium erinaceus, and the newest name in the category. Ginkgo biloba is a tree leaf with centuries of use. Manefocus carries both, so you do not have to pick, along with Korean ginseng.

120mg of ginkgo biloba leaf powder per two-capsule serving, which is what makes it a ginkgo biloba supplement as well as a lion’s mane one. Ginkgo biloba helps the maintenance of memory.

Manefocus is Wellgard's lion’s mane complex, sold in the UK, in a vegan capsule: two capsules daily with water, giving 600mg of lion’s mane extract, Korean ginseng equivalent to 600mg of root, 120mg of ginkgo biloba leaf, and thiamin and pantothenic acid at 100% of the reference intake. Korean ginseng contributes to mental and cognitive activity. Ginkgo biloba helps the maintenance of memory. Sixty capsules to a box in four blister strips, thirty servings.

600mg of lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) fruit-body extract per two-capsule serving. At the specified 11:1 to 14:1 ratio that extract came from 6,600 to 8,400mg of whole mushroom, so you will see the product described either way.

Korean ginseng root extract at 150mg, equivalent to 600mg of whole root; ginkgo biloba leaf powder at 120mg; thiamin at 1.1mg, 100% NRV; and pantothenic acid at 6mg, 100% NRV. Plus the vegan capsule shell.

Korean ginseng contributes to mental and cognitive activity. Ginkgo biloba helps the maintenance of memory. Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance. Thiamin contributes to normal psychological function and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Every wording available to the formula is listed under Read the Box.

Two, taken with water. Sixty capsules to a box is thirty servings, so one month. They come in four blister strips.

Whenever you will remember. Most people take the two capsules with breakfast, and the same time each day is what makes it stick.

Don't exceed the recommended intake, and consult your doctor or a medical practitioner first if you are on medication. Ginseng and ginkgo bring two further cautions: not alongside anticoagulant or antidiabetic medication, and stop at least two weeks before any planned surgery. Check with your GP if pregnant or breastfeeding. It contains sulphites.

Yes. It contains sulphites, which come from the lion’s mane mushroom extract. Allergens are shown in bold in the ingredient list.

Yes. The capsule shell is hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, a plant-derived material, and there are no animal ingredients.

Thiamin and pantothenic acid are both at 100% of the reference intake. Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance. Thiamin contributes to normal psychological function and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Every wording available to the formula is listed under Read the Box.

Korean ginseng is Panax ginseng, a root used for centuries. Manefocus carries 150mg of root extract per serving, equivalent to 600mg of whole root. Korean ginseng contributes to mental and cognitive activity.¹

Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest tree species still growing, and its leaf has a long history of use. Manefocus carries 120mg of ginkgo biloba leaf powder per serving. Ginkgo biloba helps the maintenance of memory.

Lions mane is Hericium erinaceus, a mushroom that grows on hardwood and has become widely known in the last five years. Manefocus carries 600mg of its extract per serving, listed by amount.

The formula and the format. Manefocus is three botanicals and two B vitamins in a capsule, led by 600mg of lion’s mane extract. Wellgard Mushroom Gummies is six mushroom extracts in a blackcurrant chew, with four nutrients. Manefocus carries more lion’s mane; the gummies carry more species.

Korean ginseng extract is concentrated, so 150mg of the extract in Manefocus was made from 600mg of whole root. Both figures are given so you can compare either way.

Four things on the back of any lion’s mane product: fruit body or mycelium, the extraction ratio, the polysaccharide specification, and whether any carriers are included in the stated weight. Manefocus answers all four: fruit body, 11:1 to 14:1 hot water, at least 30% polysaccharides, no carriers.

Manefocus is made for daily use: two capsules with water, sixty to a box, thirty servings. Thiamin and pantothenic acid are both at 100% of the reference intake. Check the anticoagulant, antidiabetic and pre-surgery cautions first.

Yes, and for vegans. The capsule shell is plant-derived.

In a cool, dry place, out of sight and reach of children. The capsules stay in their blister strips until you take them, so they are sealed until the day they are used.

Blister packs. Sixty capsules in four strips, which is thirty days. Customers tell us the useful part is being able to cut a strip off for a trip rather than carrying a whole month.

That is what the strips are for. Cut off as many as you need and leave the rest at home. They stay sealed until you take them.

Sixty capsules at two a day is thirty days, so a box is a month, in four blister strips. Subscribe and the next one arrives before this one runs out.

It is made for it: two capsules with water, sixty to a box, thirty servings. Thiamin and pantothenic acid sit at 100% of the reference intake. Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance. Check the ginseng and ginkgo cautions first.

In most cases yes, though it is worth checking the total if another supplement carries thiamin or pantothenic acid, since Manefocus already gives 100% of the reference intake for both. If you take any regular medication, speak to your GP or pharmacist first.

Manefocus is a capsule rather than a tablet. Two a day with water. If you would rather chew, Wellgard Mushroom Gummies carries lion’s mane alongside five other mushrooms in a blackcurrant gummy.

Take the next two as usual. There is nothing to catch up.
