NZ Native Lions Mane (Pekekpeke-Kiore)
Mynd® Quality & Purity
Commitment to science-driven development led Mynd® to partner with government research agency, Callaghan Innovation. Mynd® was tested and demonstrated the efficacy of our New Zealand Lion's Mane mushroom extract against globally leading Lion's Mane products. The results indicate that it is the first of its kind to contain both Erinacines and Hericenones. These bioactive compounds support brain health, function and neuroprotection.
Being grown and processed in Raglan, New Zealand means we can have assurance on quality standards maintained batch to batch.
What is Pekepeke-kiore?
Pekepeke-Kiore is a native New Zealand mushroom commonly known as New Zealand Lion’s Mane and scientifically known as Hericium Novae-Zealandiae. It is cousin to the popular Lion’s Mane (Hericium Erinaceus) used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries.
Erinacines & Hericenones
Stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), supporting the repair & growth of neurons. Support neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to focus, learn, adapt & form new connections.
Third-Party Tested
All products are analysed for heavy metals, pesticide residues, and microbial contaminants by Hill Laboratories, with bioactive compound analysis conducted by Callaghan Innovation.
1082 Lions Mane FAQs
Why would I buy New Zealand Lion’s Mane (Pekepeke-Kiore) over regular Lion’s Mane?
Regular Lion’s Mane (Hericium Erinaceus) products are all grown overseas (often China and East Asia), shipped to NZ and sold here by intermediary distributors (not growers).
Overseas mushroom cultivation can be associated with air pollution and intensive farming practices, resulting in contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides in the final product.
Has Mynd’s New Zealand Lion’s Mane been scientifically tested?
Research partners at Callaghan Innovation independently tested the Mynd New Zealand Lion’s Mane mushroom extract and demonstrated its efficacy against globally leading Lion's Mane products. The results indicate that our sample contained Erinacines A, G, (B) & Hericenones A, J.

How long does it take to notice benefits from Lion's Mane mushroom?
Most people report noticing subtle changes within 2-4 weeks of consistent daily use, though individual experiences can vary. Lion's Mane (Pekepeke-Kiore) works by supporting the body's natural processes over time rather than providing an immediate effect like caffeine would.
For best results, we recommend taking your 1082 Lion's Mane capsules consistently every day as directed. Many long-term users report that the benefits become more noticeable the longer they maintain their routine. As with any supplement, patience and consistency are key.
What is the recommended dosage for 1082 New Zealand Lion's Mane?
The recommended dose is 2 capsules per day. These can be taken with food or water on an empty stomach, or as recommended by your healthcare professional.
Each capsule contains New Zealand-grown Pekepeke-Kiore with a blend of 85% fruiting bodies and 15% mycelia, ensuring you get a full spectrum of the beneficial compounds including Erinacines and Hericenones that have been confirmed through independent testing by Callaghan Innovation. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain potency.
Can Lion's Mane be taken with other nootropics or supplements?
Yes — Lion's Mane is generally well-tolerated and can be taken alongside other supplements as part of a broader health and performance stack. Many people combine it with other nootropic ingredients, adaptogens, or daily staples like omega-3s, magnesium, and multivitamins without issue.
The 1082 New Zealand Lion's Mane capsules are vegan-friendly (using HPMC capsules) and contain no unnecessary fillers, making them straightforward to include in any existing supplement routine. If you are taking prescription medication, always check with your healthcare professional before adding new supplements.
