Everything Vyvata knows about this product — the score, the evidence, the FAQ, and where else to find shopper reviews. No hidden data. Every vendor is scored on the same published rubric — no brand can pay for placement. Read the rubric →
Mycoterra Farm is a certified-organic Massachusetts mushroom farm producing single-species Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) tincture from fruit body via triple extraction (water + alcohol + heat) — the correct process to solubilize both water-soluble beta-glucans and alcohol-soluble hericenones/erinacines. Fruit-body sourcing (vs. mycelium-on-grain, which is common in cheap Lion's Mane products) is a meaningful quality signal because the erinacines associated with nerve-growth-factor stimulation are concentrated in the fruit body. Small farm-scale operation with real vertical integration. Downgrades: per-dropper hericenone/erinacine content is not quantified, per-lot certificates of analysis are not clearly published, and the human clinical evidence for Lion's Mane in cognitive endpoints is limited to a few small trials (Mori 2009 in mild cognitive impairment; Saitsu 2019 in menopausal women) with mixed replication. Standard tier for a legitimately-sourced botanical from a real farm, held back by opaque active-compound dosing and thin RCT base.
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.

The Vyvata score measures product integrity against a published rubric, not customer sentiment. Vyvata does not aggregate, republish, or license third-party reviews — the links below open search pages on their respective platforms.
Every VSF-related metafield surfaced verbatim. Nothing hidden. If you spot data that looks wrong, let us know.
Every score is set from the published rubric, audit-logged, and rescored whenever new evidence emerges (published trials, updated labels, third-party testing releases). Every vendor is scored on the same criteria — no pay-to-play. See our editorial-independence disclosure for the full policy, including brands with an editorial relationship to this site.
