Product Information
Why this one is a double extract
Lion’s Mane keeps its most useful compounds in two different places, and no single method pulls out both. The parts that support a clear, focused mind dissolve in alcohol; other parts only come free in hot water. Most cheap tinctures pick one method and quietly leave half the mushroom behind. This one is made with both, a non-thermal hydro-ethanolic extraction alongside a water draw, so what ends up in the bottle is the whole picture rather than a convenient shortcut.
The reason people keep it on the desk
Ask anyone who uses it regularly and the word that comes up is clarity. It is the bottle they reach for before a long stretch of focused work, a full day of study, or any time the mind feels more like fog than sharp lines. It will not wire you the way caffeine does. It works quietly in the background, supporting the kind of steady concentration that lets you stay with one thing instead of bouncing between six.
The calm side most people do not expect
The same tincture that helps you focus by day has a gentler role at night. Taken in the evening, it supports the slow wind-down into rest, helping a busy head loosen its grip so sleep comes more easily. It is an unusual pairing, sharp when you need it and calm when you do not, and it is a large part of why regulars keep a bottle going year round.
Who tends to reach for this one
This suits people who live by their concentration: students in a heavy term, anyone whose work is really thinking for a living, and older adults who simply want to stay mentally sharp as the years add up. It is also for the person who has tried the fog-clearing coffees and the energy drinks and wants something cleaner and more honest, made from a single mushroom rather than a lab.
How to take it, and the alcohol question
Shake it, then take one full dropper, once a day to keep things steady or up to three times a day when you want more. Hold it under the tongue for about thirty seconds before swallowing, or drop it into a little water. It does contain 25% alcohol, which is simply what carries the extract; if you would rather skip the ethanol, stir the drops into a hot drink and give it a minute or two to evaporate off before you sip.
Why it carries her name
Dr. Hester van der Merwe does not put her name on a white-label tub with a logo stuck on it. She works to a full-spectrum double extract, keeps the ingredient list to three honest things, and makes it here in South Africa in small batches. That is the whole product: no fillers hiding at the bottom, nothing added to bulk it out, just a tincture she would hand to one of her own patients.
Supplement Information
Lion’s Mane, Spring Water, Organic Food-Grade Ethanol (25%).

Shake well before use. Take one full dropper (20 drops) one to three times daily: once daily for maintenance, three times in acute cases. Hold in the mouth for 30 seconds, or add to a glass of water. Contains 25% alcohol; to avoid ethanol, add the drops to a hot drink and let it evaporate for a minute or two.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
How do I use this tincture?
Shake it well, then take one full dropper. Once a day keeps things steady, or take it up to three times a day when you want a little more. Hold it in your mouth for about thirty seconds before swallowing, or add it to a glass of water. Like all tinctures, it does its best work as a daily habit, so tie it to something you already do each day.
What does "double extract" actually mean?
Lion's Mane holds its useful compounds in two forms: some come free in alcohol, others only in hot water. A double extract uses both methods, so you get the full spectrum rather than half of it. Plenty of cheaper tinctures skip one step, which is exactly the shortcut this one avoids.
Will it make me feel jittery like coffee?
No. It does not stimulate you the way caffeine does. Most people describe a clearer, steadier focus rather than a buzz, which is why it suits long stretches of work or study without the crash afterwards.
It says 25% alcohol. Can I avoid that?
Yes. The alcohol is simply what carries the extract. If you would rather not take the ethanol, stir your drops into a hot drink and let it stand for a minute or two so the alcohol evaporates before you drink it.
Are there any side effects?
It is well tolerated by most people. As with any supplement, have a quick word with your healthcare practitioner first if you are on medication, and it is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
How soon will I notice anything?
That differs from person to person. A tincture like this is a slow-and-steady daily habit rather than an instant switch, so give it a few weeks of consistent use to feel its full value.
Is it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. It is fully plant based, with no fillers, artificial flavours or colours, which is the standard Dr. van der Merwe holds every Anóthen formulation to.
Who makes it?
It is formulated by Dr. Hester van der Merwe, a registered health practitioner, and made in small batches right here in South Africa, so you always know who stands behind what is in the bottle.
