Ostara – Balance · Vitality · Growth

Ostara is formulated to support clarity, vitality, and balanced growth, combining ingredients studied for their roles in cognitive adaptability, metabolic stability, immune signalling, and nutrient utilisation during periods of renewal and increased physiological demand.

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)

Lion’s Mane is one of the most extensively studied functional mushrooms for cognitive function and neuroplasticity. Human clinical trials have shown statistically significant improvements in memory, focus, and overall cognitive performance, particularly in adults experiencing age-related cognitive decline.

Its unique compounds, hericenones and erinacines, have been shown to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) — a protein essential for the growth, maintenance, and repair of neurons. This mechanism explains Lion’s Mane’s association with mental clarity, learning, and adaptive brain function.

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)

Shiitake provides a strong metabolic and immune foundation through its high content of beta-glucans and polysaccharides. These compounds have been shown in human and animal studies to support immune signalling, lipid metabolism, and cellular resilience.

Shiitake also contains eritadenine, a compound studied for its role in supporting healthy cholesterol metabolism and cardiovascular function, contributing to steady physical vitality rather than stimulation.

Nettle (Urtica dioica)

Nettle leaf is a mineral-rich botanical traditionally used to support nutrient status, circulation, and inflammatory balance. Modern research supports its role in reducing inflammatory markers, supporting iron and micronutrient absorption, and aiding metabolic and hormonal balance.

Nettle’s high content of polyphenols, flavonoids, and trace minerals makes it particularly relevant during periods of growth and renewal, when nutrient demand is higher.

Why extraction matters

Many of the key compounds in Lion’s Mane and Shiitake are poorly absorbed in raw or powdered form. A 1:3 double extraction uses both hot water and alcohol to:

• extract beta-glucans and polysaccharides

• preserve alcohol-soluble neuroactive and metabolic compounds

• improve bioavailability and consistency of dosing

Functional role

Ostara is formulated to support clarity, vitality, and balanced growth, reflecting the physiological themes of renewal and equilibrium associated with the spring equinox — without overstimulation.

Ingredients & Extraction Standard

• • 100% Organic Fruiting Body – only whole mushrooms, never mycelium, grain, or fillers.

  • Double-Extracted at a Potent 1:3 Ratio – using both alcohol and hot-water extraction to release the full spectrum of beneficial compounds.

  • Pure Organic Ethanol (Food-Grade – approx. 25% in final tincture) – a clean, neutral alcohol that efficiently draws out and preserves the mushroom’s active constituents.

  • Purified Water – carefully filtered for clarity and consistency before blending with each extract.

  • Crafted in Glastonbury, England – extracted and bottled in small batches with precision and intention.

  • Nothing Else – no fillers, no binders, no additives. Just potent, vegan, full-spectrum mushroom extracts.
