Lion's Mane is an extract of the edible mushroom Hericium erinaceus, standardised on its beta-glucan content, and the Celyfe compound library files it as a nootropic studied for its relationship to nerve growth factor (NGF). It is not carried in any Celyfe pen.
What is Lion's Mane?
Lion's Mane is the common name of Hericium erinaceus, a mushroom recognisable by its cascading white spines. Supplement-grade extracts are standardised on beta-glucans, a class of polysaccharides found in fungal cell walls. The Celyfe library lists the entry as Lion's Mane Extract, classed as a nootropic with an oral delivery route and the mechanism note: supports nerve growth factor (NGF) production. It is not a peptide and not a regulated compound.
Is Lion's Mane in a Celyfe pen?
No. The four Celyfe pens carry NAD+, the peptides BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu and KPV. Lion's Mane is a mushroom extract, not a pen compound, and Celyfe does not currently sell it as a product. Celyfe lists no Lion's Mane reference, so this page makes no statement about research findings for the extract.
