WHY WE STOCK IT

A certified-organic lion’s mane supplement made with cultivated mushroom mycelium grown on organic brown rice. Each two-capsule serving provides 1,000 mg of lion’s mane mycelium and naturally occurring fungal polysaccharides.

In Canada, lion’s mane is licensed as a source of antioxidants and fungal polysaccharides that help support immune function.

BEST FOR

Adults seeking a convenient, vegan mushroom supplement for daily antioxidant and immune support.

Lion’s mane is often promoted for memory, focus and nervous-system health, but the clinical evidence remains preliminary. This product should not be advertised as treating memory loss, dementia, depression, neuropathy or another neurological condition.

The Host Defense formula uses mushroom mycelium grown on brown rice, not a concentrated fruiting-body extract. This distinction may be important to customers comparing mushroom products.

HOW TO TAKE IT

Adults: Take 2 capsules once daily. The capsules may be taken with food, without food or on an empty stomach.

At the labelled dose, 30 capsules provide a 15-day supply.

MEDICATION AND SAFETY CAUTIONS

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, if you have liver disease or another medical condition, or if you take prescription medication.

Ask our pharmacist before use if you:

• Have a mushroom, mould or fungal allergy

• Have an autoimmune condition

• Take an immunosuppressant following an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease

• Take an anticoagulant, antiplatelet medication or diabetes medication

• Are preparing for surgery

Stop use and seek medical advice if a rash, itching, swelling, breathing difficulty, significant stomach upset or another unexpected reaction develops.

Lion’s mane should not replace assessment for persistent memory changes, confusion, weakness, numbness or another neurological symptom. Seek urgent medical attention for sudden confusion, facial drooping, speech difficulty or one-sided weakness.

Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is broken. Store under normal room-temperature conditions.
