How much beta-glucan and nerve-growth-factor (NGF) compounds are in dried lion’s mane slices?

Independent lab tests show our lion’s mane slices average 15 g total beta-glucans per 100 g—comparable to leading immune-support extracts. They also contain hericenones A-H and erinacine A, compounds studied for stimulating nerve-growth factor (NGF) in vitro and in animal models. While whole slices are less concentrated than 10 : 1 extracts, slow hot-water steeping (20 min, 1 : 20 ratio) releases up to 70 % of these diterpenoids. A single 5 g serving provides roughly 750 mg beta-glucans, enough to complement a balanced immune regimen.

Claim strength: Moderate

Claim-strength scale – High = multiple human studies; Moderate = a few trials; Emerging = early lab data.

How many calories, protein, and fiber are in 10 g of dried lion’s mane?

Ten grams (about two large slices) supply 29 kcal, 1.9 g protein, 0.4 g fat, 2.6 g fiber, and 4.9 g total carbs. Compared with fresh mushrooms, dehydration quadruples nutrient density while removing water weight. The high fiber keeps net carbs only ~2.3 g—handy for keto or low-GI plans—and the chewy texture adds satiety without many calories.

Claim strength: High

What’s the recommended daily dosage of lion’s mane—whole slices vs powder extracts?

Functional-food studies use 2–3 g/day of 10 : 1 extract (≈ 20–30 g dried slices equivalence). For culinary wellness, most chefs suggest 5–10 g dried slices (1 cup rehydrated) a few times per week. Start with 2 g powder or one rehydrated slice to gauge tolerance; scale to 10 g if targeting cognitive benefits. Exceeding 15 g daily may cause mild bloating due to fiber.

Claim strength: Moderate

What’s the best way to rehydrate lion’s mane slices to keep their crab-like texture?

Soak slices in warm water (140 °F / 60 °C) at 1 : 5 ratio for 20 minutes. Gently squeeze, shred with forks, then sauté in oil 3 min per side. The warm-soak preserves springy fibers better than boiling. Save the soak liquid—rich in umami—for broth.

Is lion’s mane mushroom safe during pregnancy or while on antidepressant medication?

Preliminary data show no teratogenic effects, yet controlled human studies are limited. Lion’s mane may influence neurochemical pathways; combine cautiously with SSRIs or MAO inhibitors. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a physician before exceeding culinary portions (≤5 g/day dried).

Best culinary uses: shredded “crab cakes,” broths, or lion’s mane coffee—how do I cook with it?

Rehydrated, shredded lion’s mane mimics crab meat—mix with chickpea flour, Old Bay, and pan-fry for vegan cakes. Dice and simmer in miso or chicken broth for an umami-rich soup. Finely grind dried slices and brew with dark roast coffee (2 % w/w) for a nutty “mushroom coffee.” For jerky, marinate strips in soy, maple, and smoked paprika, then dehydrate at 135 °F for 6 hours.
