Purica Lion's Mane Memory Support BONUS SIZE (144 VCaps) holds 144 vegetable capsules of organic lion's mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), 400 mg each: the 120 bottle plus 20%. It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80036328, printed on the front label. Its recommended use:
Promotes cognitive health.
What is in each capsule
Each capsule is 400 mg of full-spectrum lion's mane, cultivated in Canada on organic plant material. Purica keeps the whole life cycle of the mushroom: mycelium, primordia and fruiting body. The mycelium is where erinacines are mostly found, and the fruiting body is where hericenones are mostly found, so using both keeps both compound families in the capsule.
After harvest the mushroom is micronized, or milled to particles of 1 to 10 microns, which opens the chitin cell walls without making a solvent extract. The shell is hypromellose. Silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose and plant-source magnesium stearate complete the list.
How to take it
The label sets 2 capsules a day for maintenance and 5 capsules a day as the therapeutic dose for adults. That makes the 144 capsules last 72 days at 2 a day, or about 4 weeks at 5 a day. The label notes it may cause stomach discomfort and asks you to see a practitioner first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
About this bonus pack
The bonus size was sold in Purica's earlier bottle design, a white label with a green mushroom panel. The capsule and the NPN match the current 120-count Lion's Mane, which now ships in a newer label. Vitasave also stocks the 120 and 360 counts and a 100 g powder.
Who it suits
Adults who take lion's mane every day and want 24 more capsules than the standard bottle, and anyone who prefers a capsule to stirring powder into coffee.
How Purica makes it
Purica starts each lion’s mane culture from a sterile tissue sample of a selected strain and grows it indoors in Canada, on organic plant substrate rather than grain. Each batch goes to a third-party lab for purity and potency testing before it is milled. The bottle is amber glass with a metal lid, and the label carries vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO symbols. Purica is based in Duncan, British Columbia.
