Lion's Mane Extract (Hericium erinaceus) là gì? Ứng dụng, liều dùng, sản phẩm thay thế & thông số

Hericium erinaceus powder, also known as lion's mane mushroom powder, is a natural edible mushroom powder produced from the fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus through drying, ultra-fine grinding, or extraction, concentration, and spray drying using modern food processing technologies. Hericium erinaceus is a well-known medicinal and edible fungus with over 1,200 years of consumption history in China. It is ranked as the first among the "Four Famous Dishes" (lion's mane mushroom, bear paw, bird's nest, shark fin), alongside bear paw, sea cucumber, and shark fin, earning the reputation of "mountain delicacy lion's mane, sea delicacy bird's nest." Due to its shape resembling a monkey's head, golden-yellow color, tender flesh, and delicious taste, it is called "lion's mane mushroom," also known as the "stomach-nourishing mountain delicacy" and "guardian of the stomach." Hericium erinaceus powder belongs to the cross-category of edible mushroom powder and natural plant powder. In food science, it is defined as the "most nutrient-concentrated and conveniently consumable form of edible mushrooms." Products can be classified into three categories: regular ground powder (ultra-fine ground), instant powder (spray-dried), and high-purity extract (polysaccharide content 10%-50%). Among these, instant powder and extracts, due to their high active ingredient content and high absorption rate, are the main raw materials for stomach-nourishing health products and functional foods.
