What is Lion's Mane Mushroom?
Lion’s Mane Mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), also called Yamabushitake or lion’s mane fungus, is a culinary and medicinal mushroom whose fruiting bodies are harvested and dual-extracted into a fine brown powder rich in neuroactive compounds. Its active ingredients include polysaccharides (CAS 9000-54-0), β-glucans (CAS 9012-72-0), hericenone A (C₁₄H₁₂O₅; MW 252.24; CAS 94447-88-2) and erinacine A (C₂₅H₃₄O₆; MW 430.53; CAS 127038-59-0). ProVita Biotech’s extract is standardized to 25% total polysaccharides and 30% β-glucans and offers excellent oral bioavailability. Supplied in 25 kg drums, ProVita Biotech is the leading bulk Lion’s Mane Extract powder supplier in China and also provides OEM services for capsules, tablets and custom formulations.
Lion's Mane Extract vs Powder
Lion’s Mane extract is a concentrated form of the mushroom made through water and ethanol extraction. This process yields a fine powder standardized to high levels of active compounds, typically 25–30% polysaccharides and β-glucans. Because each batch is tested and adjusted, extract offers predictable potency and consistent bioavailability, making it ideal for nootropic supplements, capsules, tablets and any formulation requiring precise dosing.
By contrast, raw Lion’s Mane powder is simply whole fruiting bodies that have been dried and milled without further concentration. Polysaccharide content in raw powder can vary from 5% to 15% depending on growing conditions and harvest time. Raw powder retains the full spectrum of mushroom nutrients and flavor, so it works well in teas, functional foods or cost-sensitive blends where a complete botanical profile is preferred.
When deciding which form to use, consider your product goals. Choose Lion’s Mane extract for high-strength cognitive support, reliable dosing and enhanced absorption. Choose raw powder for full-spectrum wellness formulas, natural flavor or when maximizing volume and ingredient cost efficiency is a priority.
Lion's Mane Extract Specification Sheet
ProVita Biotech’s Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract is a dry fruiting-body extract of Hericium erinaceus made in China using purified water and, if needed, up to 20% maize-derived maltodextrin. The brown powder contains 30–40 % polysaccharides by UV assay, with ≤5 % moisture (USP32 <561>) and ≤5 % ash (USP32 <731>). All material passes 100 % through 80 mesh. Heavy metals total ≤10 ppm (As ≤2 ppm; Cd ≤1 ppm; Pb ≤0.5 ppm; Hg ≤0.1 ppm) tested per USP32 <231>, residual solvents and pesticides meet USP32 <467> and USP32 <561> requirements, and microbial counts are controlled (Total Plate ≤10 000 CFU/g; Yeast & Mold ≤1 000 CFU/g; E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus and S. aureus negative; Coliforms ≤30 MPN/100 g) using USP34 <61>/<62> and GB 4789.3 methods. Packaged in sealed paper drums with dual plastic liners (25 kg/drum), this extract stores three years away from moisture and sunlight. ProVita Biotech uses recognized pharmacopeia testing and third-party laboratories to ensure international-standard quality and safety for supplement manufacturers and distributors .

Lion's Mane Extract Manufacturing Process
ProVita Biotech’s Lion’s Mane extract powder is produced via a rigorous, pharmacopeia-compliant process to ensure ≥25 % polysaccharides or ≥30 % β-glucans purity and third-party quality validation:
- Raw Material Preparation
Dried fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus are sourced from controlled farms and milled to a uniform particle size. - Dual Water Extraction
The powdered mushrooms undergo two successive hot-water extractions (100 °C for 2 h each) to release water-soluble polysaccharides and β-glucans . - Cooling & Primary Filtration
Extracts are cooled to ambient temperature, then passed through coarse filters to remove insoluble debris. - Vacuum Concentration
The filtered solution is concentrated under reduced pressure to reduce volume while preserving bioactives. - Fine Filtration
Concentrate is passed through fine-grade filters to eliminate remaining particulates and ensure clarity. - Secondary Concentration
Further vacuum concentration adjusts solids content to optimal levels for drying. - Spray Drying
The concentrated extract is spray-dried into a fine powder, maintaining low inlet/outlet temperatures to protect heat-sensitive compounds. - Sifting & Standardization
Powder is sieved (100 % through 80 mesh) and blended to achieve consistent batch purity of ≥25 % polysaccharides or ≥30 % β-glucans. - Mixing & Homogenization
Final powder is mixed in stainless-steel blenders to ensure uniform distribution of active ingredients. - Packing
Finished extract is filled into food-grade inner liners and sealed in 25 kg drums under inert atmosphere to preserve stability.
Throughout production, all steps follow USP/HB standards for heavy metals, residual solvents, microbiology and assay, with in-process controls and third-party lab testing to guarantee international-standard quality, safety and purity for supplement manufacturers and distributors.
