Mynd

Mynd grows and extracts its own Lion's Mane at a farm in Raglan, on New Zealand's west coast. The species is Hericium novae-zealandiae, known by its Maori name Pekepeke-Kiore, a native relative of the Asian Lion's Mane that almost every other supplement on the shelf is made from.

The extract is full spectrum and heat extracted from 85% fruiting bodies and 15% mycelia, so it carries the erinacines and hericenones the mushroom is known for rather than being mostly grain and starch. Callaghan Innovation and Hill Laboratories test it independently for bioactives and purity.

Every format carries the same 1g serve, whether that is two capsules, a quarter teaspoon of powder, a cup of plunger coffee, two squares of dark chocolate or a can of iced latte.

Why Mynd

A native New Zealand species

Mynd uses Hericium novae-zealandiae, Pekepeke-Kiore, rather than the Asian Lion's Mane found in nearly every other supplement. It is a distinct species, and it grows here.

Grown and extracted in Raglan

The mushrooms are cultivated and extracted at Mynd's own farm on the west coast, and the coffee is roasted and the chocolate made in the same town. This is a New Zealand supply chain end to end.

Independently tested

Callaghan Innovation and Hill Laboratories test the extract for bioactive compounds and purity, so what is claimed on the pouch is what is measured in the batch.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mynd

What is Pekepeke-Kiore, and how is it different from other Lion's Mane?

Pekepeke-Kiore is the Maori name for Hericium novae-zealandiae, a Lion's Mane species native to New Zealand. Almost every other Lion's Mane supplement uses Hericium erinaceus, the Asian species. Mynd grows and extracts the native one at its own farm in Raglan, so the whole range is New Zealand grown rather than imported.

How much Lion's Mane do I actually get?

Every format is built around the same 1g serve. That is two capsules, a quarter teaspoon (1000mg) of the pure powder, one 15g cup of the Mynd Brew coffee, two of the mushroom chocolates, or one can of the iced latte.

Should I choose capsules, powder, coffee or chocolate?

It comes down to how you would rather take it. Capsules are the simplest and travel best. The powder is 100% extract with no fillers, so it is the most flexible and the best value per serve once you are taking it daily. The coffee, chocolate and canned latte fold the same dose into something you were going to have anyway.

Is the extract just mycelium grown on grain?

No. Mynd's extract is full spectrum and heat extracted from 85% fruiting bodies and 15% mycelia, and it is independently tested for bioactive compounds and purity by Callaghan Innovation and Hill Laboratories. Many mushroom supplements are grain-grown mycelium, where much of the weight in the capsule is the substrate rather than the mushroom.

Does the coffee and chocolate contain caffeine?

The Mynd Brew coffee and the Iced Mushroom Latte are real coffee, so yes, both contain caffeine. The capsules, powder and chocolate do not. The chocolate is dark chocolate, which carries the small amount of caffeine naturally present in cacao.

How long does a pack last?

At the recommended serve, 60 capsules is about a month and 120 is about two. The 60g powder is around 60 serves, or two months. A 250g bag of coffee makes about 16 cups and the 500g about 32. The 224g chocolate holds 56 chocolates, which is 28 servings.
