Lion's Mane Capsules
Mynd New Zealand Lion's Mane Capsules are the first scientifically tested New Zealand-grown mushroom supplement, made from 100% pure Pekepeke-Kiore (Hericium Novae-Zealandiae) - the native New Zealand cousin of the renowned Lion's Mane (Hericium Erinaceus) used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries.
Grown at Mynd's own mushroom farm in Raglan and independently tested for the bioactive compounds Erinacines and Hericenones, this is a clean, single-ingredient brain health supplement for those wanting to support focus, mental clarity, sustained energy, mood balance, and long-term brain health. Benefits
- Focus and mental clarity - Erinacines and Hericenones, the key bioactive compounds in Lion's Mane, stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) - a protein that supports the growth, repair, and maintenance of neurons, underpinning the brain's ability to focus, learn, and adapt
- Supports brain health and neuroplasticity - NGF stimulation supports neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to form new neural connections - relevant for learning, memory, cognitive performance, and long-term brain health as we age
- Sustained energy without stimulants - supports natural energy levels through brain health rather than caffeine or stimulant compounds, with many users reporting a reduction in reliance on coffee and the elimination of the afternoon energy slump
- Mood balance - Beta-D-Glucans in Lion's Mane help reduce inflammation and support neurotransmitter balance, contributing to a more stable and settled mood
- Reduces brain fog - regular use is associated with clearer thinking and reduced cognitive fog, particularly in the morning and during periods of mental fatigue
- Grown in New Zealand from spore to supplement - cultivated at Mynd's own mushroom farm in Raglan, in some of the cleanest air on earth; 99% of mushroom supplements sold in New Zealand are imported from overseas, typically China
- Full-spectrum heat extract - the formula uses fruiting bodies (85%) and mycelia (15%) processed via Mynd's proprietary heat extraction method to preserve and concentrate bioactive compounds including Erinacines A, G, (B) and Hericenones A and J
- Independently tested - third-party tested by Callaghan Innovation and Hill Laboratories for bioactive compounds and purity; test results confirm the presence of both Erinacines and Hericenones

Mynd New Zealand Lion's Mane Capsules are genuinely different from the vast majority of Lion's Mane supplements available in New Zealand. In a market where 99% of mushroom supplements are imported - most from China and East Asia, where cultivation conditions and heavy metal contamination can be difficult to verify - Mynd grows its own mushrooms from spore to supplement on a dedicated farm in Raglan, New Zealand. Every batch is third-party tested by independent laboratories for purity and bioactive potency.
The mushroom itself is Pekepeke-Kiore (Hericium Novae-Zealandiae), the native New Zealand species of Lion's Mane and the cool-climate cousin of the more widely known Hericium Erinaceus used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries. Independent testing conducted by Mynd's research partners at Callaghan Innovation - New Zealand's national science and technology innovation agency - confirmed that the Mynd extract contains both Erinacines (A, G, and B) and Hericenones (A and J), the two key bioactive compound families responsible for Lion's Mane's most studied brain health properties. This confirmation is significant: Mynd's science suggests this is the first Pekepeke-Kiore mushroom extract demonstrated to contain both compound families, and independent testing demonstrated its efficacy against globally leading Lion's Mane products.
Erinacines and Hericenones stimulate the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) - a protein that plays a central role in the growth, maintenance, and repair of neurons in the brain and nervous system. NGF stimulation supports neuroplasticity - the b
