Authentic Lion's Mane Extract: Premium Powder and Capsules
Understanding Lion's Mane Powder
The Legal Status of Lion's Mane in Australia: In Australia, Lion's Mane mushroom powder is classified as a 'novel food.' This classification means it's currently illegal to sell Lion's Mane powder as a food supplement. This regulation is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of consumers, a value we wholeheartedly endorse. More Info Here
The Market Reality Explained: You might be curious as to why Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) products appear to be readily available, despite the regulations. In reality, many items labeled as 'Australian Lion's Mane' are actually derived from species native to Australia, such as Hericium coralloides, rather than the true Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) known for its health-promoting properties. This distinction is crucial for informed consumers. We urge you to ask for the scientific name of any Lion's Mane product you consider purchasing. This ensures you are fully aware of what you're buying, promoting transparency and trust in your selections.
My Stance: I want to make it clear that my products, including any mushroom powders we offer, are not sold as supplements for human consumption. We believe in the autonomy of our customers and trust you to make informed decisions about how to use our products, whether for culinary, educational, or other purposes.
why do I still offer them?
Honestly, I'd actually prefer if you didn't buy these mushroom powders from me. The reason I offer them is not out of a desire to sell, but because I recognize that there's a NEED among some of my customers. Finding reliable and trustworthy sources for such products can be challenging in Australia, and it's this gap I aim to fill, even though it's not where my passion lies. My true commitment is to helping people grow mushrooms at home.
