Australian Grown Lion's Mane Capsules
Organic · Freeze-Dried Whole Mushroom · 90 Capsules · 45-Day Supply
Most lion's mane supplements in Australia are imported extracts. These capsules are different — they contain Australian grown, freeze-dried whole lion's mane mushroom. Not an extract from China. Not mycelium on grain. The actual mushroom, grown here, dried and encapsulated with nothing else added.
If you want an Australian product with full traceability from farm to capsule — this is it.
Why Australian Grown Matters
The vast majority of lion's mane supplements sold in Australia are manufactured overseas — typically as concentrated extracts from mushrooms grown in China. There's nothing inherently wrong with that (our 10:1 extract powder is sourced from Di Tao regions and is excellent), but some customers specifically want a product grown on Australian soil with Australian organic certification and full domestic traceability. These capsules exist for that reason.

Honest note: If you're after maximum concentration of hericenones and beta-glucans per serve, our 10:1 extract powder delivers more active compounds per gram. The capsules offer the advantage of Australian provenance, whole-food form, and daily convenience. Both are excellent — it depends what matters most to you. Read our full comparison →
What the Research Shows
Lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus) is the most-studied medicinal mushroom for cognitive function. Key findings:
-
Cognitive function — A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 30 adults with mild cognitive impairment found significant improvements in cognitive scores after 16 weeks of daily lion's mane supplementation (PMID: 18844328).
-
Mood support — A 2010 double-blind RCT reported that lion's mane significantly reduced anxiety and depression symptoms in menopausal women over 4 weeks (PMID: 20834180).
-
Neurological mechanisms — A 2025 systematic review confirmed lion's mane enhances BDNF production, promotes hippocampal neurogenesis, and improves behaviour alongside reductions in depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance (PMID: 40959699).

Common Questions
What's the difference between the capsules and the powder?
The capsules contain Australian grown, freeze-dried whole lion's mane mushroom. The powder is a 10:1 concentrated dual extract from Di Tao-sourced mushrooms. The extract is more concentrated per gram; the capsules offer Australian provenance and whole-food form. Both are certified organic and made from 100% fruiting bodies. Full comparison here.
Where are the mushrooms grown?
In Australia. The lion's mane in these capsules is cultivated on Australian soil under Australian Certified Organic standards, then freeze-dried and encapsulated domestically.
How long until I notice something?
The key human clinical trial showing cognitive improvements ran for 16 weeks. Most customers report noticing something in the 2–4 week range with consistent daily use. This is not a stimulant — it works through neurotrophin pathways. See the dosage guide.
Can I take these with other Teelixir mushrooms?
Yes. Lion's mane + reishi is the most popular stack (cognitive clarity + calm + immune). Lion's mane + cordyceps suits those wanting mental and physical performance. Start with one, let it settle for 2 weeks, then add a second.
Are there any side effects?
Lion's mane has a strong safety profile in available research. Reported side effects are uncommon and mild — occasional digestive discomfort in a small number of people. If you have a mushroom allergy, avoid it. If pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication, consult a healthcare practitioner first. Full safety review here.
