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?
Not sure? Start with lion's mane, which lasts about 60 days. 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.
