FAQs

 All of our Lion’s Mane mushroom extracts are grown in the USA on USDA-Certified Organic Farms and tested in an FDA-registered facility to ensure the highest safety, purity, and quality standards.  

At Mane Drink, we use an Ultrasonic Extraction Process to ensure our Lion’s Mane mushroom extract delivers the highest potency and purity.

This advanced method uses advanced filtration methods, followed by membrane filtration, to extract and concentrate beta-glucans while removing unwanted compounds.

• Maximizes beta-glucan concentration, ensuring the highest levels of active compounds for cognitive and immune benefits.
• Preserves compound integrity, keeping all beneficial properties intact without damaging nutrients.
• Eliminates proteins and fibers, producing a pure, effective extract without unnecessary fillers.
• 
  

Unlike traditional extraction methods, Ultrasonic Extraction requires specialized technology, making it a more advanced and precise process

—but we believe in going the extra mile to create the best mushroom coffee possible.

Hot Water/Alcohol - the most common method

 Hot water and alcohol extraction is the most widely used method for processing mushroom extracts. This technique involves boiling the mushrooms in water or alcohol to extract beneficial compounds.

• Efficient for extracting water-soluble and some alcohol-soluble compounds.

• Can degrade heat-sensitive compounds, potentially reducing effectiveness.
• Retains the mushroom’s strong taste and odor, affecting the final product’s flavor.
• Results in a lower concentration of beta-glucans, meaning fewer active benefits.

While commonly used, this method lacks the precision and potency of Ultrasonic Extraction, which is why Mane Drink chooses a more advanced approach for maximum efficacy and purity.

Understanding Beta-Glucans

Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides found in the cell walls of mushrooms, oats, and certain yeasts. They are known for their powerful immune-boosting and cognitive-enhancing properties and are a key bioactive compound in functional mushrooms like Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Cordyceps.

Beta-glucans are the primary active compounds responsible for many of the health benefits associated with medicinal mushrooms.

• Supports Immune Function – Beta-glucans activate immune cells such as macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and T-cells, helping the body defend against pathogens.
• Enhances Brain Health & Cognitive Function – Research shows that beta-glucans in Lion’s Mane stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which supports memory, focus, and mental clarity.
• Regulates Blood Sugar & Cholesterol – Certain beta-glucans help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and support cardiovascular health.
• Boosts Gut Health – Acts as a prebiotic, supporting beneficial gut bacteria for improved digestion and overall well-being.

Mane Drink’s Ultrasonic Extraction Process ensures that our Lion’s Mane extract contains a high concentration of beta-glucans—72.3%, one of the highest potencies available.

Unlike other mushroom coffees that use mycelium on grain (which contains little to no beta-glucans), Mane Drink uses 100% fruiting body extract to provide maximum benefits for brain function, immune health, and overall well-being.

Beta-glucans are the reason why mushroom coffee works. They fuel your brain, support your immune system, and help you stay sharp—all without the jitters or crash of traditional coffee.

Mane Drink delivers the purest, most effective beta-glucans available, making it the superior choice for those looking for a true functional coffee experience.

We only use extracts that have clinical backed science.
