About Marcapa Cognitive (Lion's Mane 6 Herb Blend)

Marcapa Cognitive is six botanicals: lion's mane fruiting body, black rice, matcha, jiaogulan, black ginger and moringa leaf. A 2-capsule serving provides 1,000 mg, and the label prints what share each one takes.

The lion's mane is declared as fruiting body, not mycelium grown on grain. That wording is the whole point. Most inexpensive mushroom material in the US is mycelium cultivated on sterilised grain and milled with the substrate still in it — published analyses put starch at 33 to 68 per cent of the finished powder, against roughly one per cent in real fruiting body. Ask any mushroom brand which part you are buying. Most labels will not say.

We print every percentage. The law asks only for a blend total and the ingredients in order of predominance; the individual amounts are optional, and most brands take that option.

Each botanical is freeze-dried at low temperature, then milled and encapsulated. Drying cold lets the plant tissue split along its cell walls, which leaves a porous particle and keeps compounds that heat would degrade. The same Vortex Freeze-Dry process runs across every Marcapa botanical.

On caffeine, plainly: the matcha brings roughly 5 to 7 milligrams a serving, a fraction of a cup of tea. This is a blend you take daily over months. You will not feel it in the first hour, and it is not built to be felt that way.

60 HPMC vegetarian capsules — a 30-day supply at two a day.

Ingredient Breakdown

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus), Fruiting Body

250 mg per serving (25% of the blend)

Declared as powdered fruiting body — the mushroom itself, not mycelium grown on grain.

That distinction is the reason it is stated this way. Most low-cost mushroom material sold in the US is mycelium cultivated on sterilised grain and milled together with the substrate, where the grain is usually the majority by weight. Published analyses of grain-grown material put starch at 33-68% of the finished powder, against 0.8-1.1% in authentic fruiting body.

Lion's mane has a long culinary and traditional-use history in Japan and China.

Black Rice (Oryza sativa L. indica)

230 mg per serving (23% of the blend)

A source of dietary anthocyanins — the dark purple-black pigments that give the grain its colour, from the same family of compounds found in blackcurrants and elderberries.

Thai black rice cultivars have been eaten as a whole grain across Southeast Asia for centuries. Here the whole grain is freeze-dried and milled rather than refined.

Matcha Green Tea (Camellia sinensis)

200 mg per serving (20% of the blend)

Whole stone-ground leaf rather than an infusion, which is what distinguishes matcha from brewed green tea. A traditional Japanese source of L-theanine and naturally occurring catechins.

Worth stating plainly: at 200 mg, the matcha here contributes roughly 5-7 mg of caffeine per serving. That is a small fraction of a cup of tea, and about what you would get from two squares of milk chocolate. This is not a stimulant product and is not built to feel like one.

Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum)

150 mg per serving (15% of the blend)

A climbing vine from southern China and northern Thailand, where the leaf has long been drunk as an everyday tea.

Its characteristic compounds are gypenosides — saponins structurally related to the ginsenosides in ginseng, which is why jiaogulan is sometimes grouped with it despite being an unrelated plant.

Black Ginger (Kaempferia parviflora)

100 mg per serving (10% of the blend)

A rhizome native to northern Thailand, dark purple in cross-section, and unrelated to common culinary ginger despite the name. Traditionally used in Thai herbal preparations.

Its characteristic compounds are polymethoxyflavones, which are also what give the rhizome its colour. This is the same botanical used in Marcapa Black Ginger, included here at 100 mg as a minor component of the six-herb blend.

Moringa Leaf (Moringa oleifera)

70 mg per serving (7% of the blend)

The leaf of the moringa tree, eaten as a everyday green across South Asia and East Africa and one of the more nutrient-dense leaves in common food use.

It is the smallest component of this blend at 7%, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in Marcapa Cognitive?

Six botanicals, 1,000 mg per 2-capsule serving: lion's mane powdered fruiting body 250 mg (25%), black rice 230 mg (23%), matcha green tea 200 mg (20%), jiaogulan 150 mg (15%), black ginger 100 mg (10%) and moringa leaf 70 mg (7%). Nothing else but the HPMC capsule.

Is the lion's mane fruiting body or mycelium?

Fruiting body — the mushroom itself. This is worth asking of any mushroom supplement. Most low-cost material sold in the US is mycelium grown on sterilised grain and milled together with the grain, which usually ends up the majority of the powder by weight. Published analyses put starch at 33 to 68 per cent of grain-grown material, against roughly 1 per cent in authentic fruiting body.

How much caffeine is in a serving?

Roughly 5 to 7 mg, all of it naturally occurring in the 200 mg of matcha. For comparison, a cup of green tea is about 30 to 50 mg and two squares of milk chocolate is about the same as a serving of this. There are no added stimulants. If you are caffeine-sensitive this is very unlikely to affect you, but check with your provider if you are unsure.

How is the powder made?

Each botanical is harvested at origin and freeze-dried at low temperature rather than heat-dried, then milled and encapsulated. Freeze-drying fractures plant tissue between the cell wall layers rather than rupturing it, which leaves a porous particle and preserves compounds that heat would degrade. The same Vortex Freeze-Dry process is used across every Marcapa botanical.

Why do you publish every percentage?

Because we do not have to, and that is the point. Federal labelling rules only require a proprietary blend to declare its total weight and list ingredients in order of predominance — per-ingredient amounts are optional, and most brands take that option. A number you can check is worth more than one you cannot.

Can I take this with other supplements or medications?

Talk to your healthcare provider first, and particularly if you take a blood thinner or an antiplatelet medication. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
