About Kinkatsudo

Kinkatsudo was started by a working couple in Japan. When we began taking lion's mane ourselves, we noticed that most mushroom supplements sold in Japan were simply dried mushroom powder, or mycelium grown on grain. We wanted a proper extract made from the mushroom's fruiting body, so we made one. We still take ours every morning with breakfast.

Which one to choose?

For a friend, one pouch of either lion's mane or cordyceps is plenty. See the comparison below.

Here is how our two extract capsules compare. Both use fruiting-body extract only, and the suggested amount for both is 2 capsules a day.
