Lion’s Mane Tincture – Complete Guide to Extraction, Use, and Sourcing
This page serves as a complete reference for Lion’s Mane tincture, including how it’s extracted, how people use it, how long it lasts, and how it fits alongside the other mushroom tinctures we produce.
This guide refers to our Lion’s Mane tincture, which is produced using our dual-extraction process and available here.
Lion’s Mane is one of the most recognized gourmet and functional mushrooms in modern cultivation. This page explains how we grow and extract Lion’s Mane into a dual-extract tincture using organic cane alcohol and a carefully controlled extraction timeline. You’ll find ABV transparency, usage guidance, batch logs, and answers to common questions about this tincture.
What Makes Our Lion’s Mane Tincture Different?
We take a controlled extraction-first approach to Lion’s Mane tinctures. Each batch begins with whole fruiting bodies and follows a dual extraction process designed to draw out both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds. We use certified organic sugar-cane alcohol and maintain a consistent extraction ratio, carefully measuring and recording ABV during dilution. This gives every bottle a predictable extraction profile and full transparency from substrate to dropper.
How We Extract Lion’s Mane
Each batch begins with whole Lion’s Mane fruiting bodies. First, a long water decoction extracts heat-soluble compounds. Separately, organic sugar-cane ethanol extracts compounds that dissolve better in alcohol. These two fractions are combined after careful dilution and ABV measurement.
-
Water decoction for heat-soluble compounds
-
Organic cane alcohol extraction for ethanol-soluble compounds
-
Extract fractions combined after dilution
-
ABV measured using hydrometer
How to Take Lion’s Mane Tincture
Because tinctures are concentrated extracts, a small amount is typically sufficient for daily use. Many people prefer taking Lion’s Mane in the morning or afternoon. For those new to tinctures, starting with a small serving and adjusting slowly is a common approach, as tincture absorption varies by person.
-
Standard serving: 1–2 droppers (approx. 1–2 ml) once or twice daily
-
Can be taken under the tongue or added to cold beverages
-
Avoid adding directly to hot drinks to help preserve extract character
-
Shake gently before use
Alcohol Content & ABV Transparency
Every batch of our Lion’s Mane tincture lists the final alcohol by volume (ABV). After combining the alcohol and water extracts, we measure ABV with a hydrometer rather than estimating. Maintaining a consistent alcohol percentage ensures predictable solvent strength and extract preservation batch after batch.
-
Final ABV is exact a at 30%
-
Verified by hydrometer during dilution
-
Organic sugar-cane alcohol only
-
Water portion comes from the decoction
Batch Logs & Extraction Records
Each tincture batch is logged from start to finish. During extraction, we record dates, solvent volumes, dilution measurements, ABV readings, mushroom input weight, extraction ratios, and total bottle yield. Publishing batch information protects the integrity of the process and provides complete traceability from cultivation through bottling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Each batch uses a consistent mushroom-to-solvent extraction ratio and a controlled final ABV. Dilution volumes are measured during finishing, and batch logs are recorded for transparency.
Many people use 1–2 droppers (approximately 1–2 ml) once or twice daily. Because tinctures are concentrated, gradually adjusting the amount is a common approach.
Some compounds dissolve in hot water, while others dissolve in alcohol. A dual extraction combines both fractions into a single tincture rather than relying on one solvent alone.
The final ABV is targeted at precisely 30 percent and verified during dilution using a hydrometer. Alcohol strength helps preserve the extract and maintain consistency between batches.
Yes. We cultivate Lion’s Mane fruiting bodies indoors on hardwood-based substrates and harvest them at full maturity before extraction. We never outsource any of our mushrooms.
Many people take multiple tinctures together. If combining tinctures, spacing doses or paying attention to individual response is a common practice.
