BETA-GLUCAN POLYSACCHARIDE ANALYSIS
DESCRIPTION: Polysaccharide analysis is performed for Nurolift by 3rd party labs, and is used to determine relative composition of Alpha-Glucans and Beta-Glucans. Since different food ingredients have known levels and different ratios, cross referencing our results with the published standards for Lion’s Mane provides further assurance of the potency of our product.
LOT: 20186
BETA-GLUCAN COMPOSITION: 261.73 mg/g (26.2%)
ALPHA-GLUCAN COMPOSITION: 37.12 mg/g (3.7%)

** A pure sample of Lion’s Mane Mushroom will typically comprise >15% Beta-Glucan (w/w), our product is grown in a Sorghum based substrate which is known to contain less than <0.25%.
Therefore, a Beta-Glucan result in excess of 15% requires there be, just an extremely low amount of substrate left over, as any significant amount would dilute the total Beta-Glucan percentage, making a result comparable to pure Lion’s Mane impossible to achieve.
