À propos de cet ingrédient
Cultivated lion's mane mushroom — Japanese cultivation pioneered the indoor-grown commercial supply that now dominates the global supplement market. Functional positioning centers on hericenones and erinacines (terpenoid actives) studied for nerve growth factor (NGF) activity. Niigata, Nagano and Hokkaido producers supply both domestic functional food and substantial exports for the cognitive / nootropic supplement segment. Fruiting body and mycelium fractions have different active profiles and command different pricing.
