Beta Glucans, Polysaccharides, or Bioactive Metabolites?

When deciding on a Lion's Mane product, you should know that the most beneficial components for the brain are called secondary bioactive metabolites. These are Hericenes and Erinacenes, not Beta Glucans of total Polysaccharides. Hericenes and Erinacenes pass the blood/brain barrier easily and support NGF (nerve growth factor) and BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor). It appears that only a handful of products on the market test for secondary bioactive metabolites, and even fewer batch test (third party). If they don't, there is just no way to know what you are getting in the product. Complete Health's Organic Lion's Mane is third party batch tested for bioactive metabolites. When compared to top European brands, it had 100X the bioactive metabolites called Hericenes.
