Lion's Mane in Japan Today
Wild lion's mane is rare, so most of what's sold in Japan is cultivated on sawdust blocks. It also appears as dried mushrooms, powders, teas and capsules. Kinkatsudo's Lion's Mane Extract Capsules are made from 100% fruiting body in a GMP-certified facility, and the raw material is third-party tested by our supplier. Our capsules are made in China.
Before You Start
- Mushroom allergy: avoid lion's mane if you are allergic to mushrooms.
- Medications or health conditions: check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: there isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid it.
- If you feel unwell, stop taking it and consult a healthcare professional.
Key Takeaways
- In Japan, lion's mane is called yamabushitake, after the ornaments worn by mountain ascetics.
- Kinkatsu is the everyday Japanese habit of eating mushrooms and fermented foods.
