HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Lion's Mane 50:1 Extract by Micro Ingredients

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: a 50:1 extract of organic lion's mane mushroom. A 50:1 extract means the powder is concentrated — 50 grams of raw mushroom is reduced into 1 gram of extract, so you get a potent dose in a small amount.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Lion's Mane Mushroom product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lion's Mane Mushroom's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for lion's mane is incomplete. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for Alzheimer disease, anxiety, athletic performance, cancer, cognitive function, or cognitive impairment.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means large, well-designed human trials haven't been published yet. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to see whether the emerging research fits your situation.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 0 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lion's mane is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. The most common side effects in people who used it are gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, and occasionally a skin rash.

Long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied thoroughly, so there's an element of unknowing there. There isn't enough safety data to recommend this during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant or nursing and interested in lion's mane, talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can help you weigh what's known against your personal situation.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lion's Mane Mushroom.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 327 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before starting this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) — lion's mane may increase bleeding risk. Also flag any diabetes medications, since lion's mane may lower blood sugar further.

And if you take immunosuppressants after a transplant or for an autoimmune condition, that's another reason to clear it first.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Lion's mane is a single-ingredient extract that some people take hoping for cognitive support, though the evidence in humans remains thin. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or immunosuppressants, you'll need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding this — the interactions are documented and worth a conversation.

It's generally well tolerated, but long-term safety data is limited.

Organic Lion's Mane 50:1 Extract by Micro Ingredients: Common Questions

Does Organic Lion's Mane 50:1 Extract by Micro Ingredients interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Lion's Mane 50:1 Extract has a known interaction with 327 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Lion's Mane 50:1 Extract contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What's a 50:1 extract?
It means 50 grams of raw lion's mane mushroom has been concentrated into 1 gram of extract. You get a more potent dose in less powder — so a small scoop gives you what you'd get from a much larger amount of the whole mushroom.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough safety data to recommend lion's mane during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — they can help you decide what's right for your situation.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for breastfeeding either. Check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
What side effects might I see?
Most people tolerate it well. The side effects that have been reported are gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, and rarely a skin rash. If any of those happen, stop and let your pharmacist or doctor know.
Does it actually improve memory or focus?
The evidence in humans isn't strong enough yet to say for sure. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for cognitive function, memory, or brain health — which means larger human studies need to be done. Animal research is promising, but that's not the same as proof in people.
Are there any fillers in this?
No — the ingredient list shows no inactive ingredients, so you're getting the extract and nothing else.
