Lions Mane 1:1 Extract. This is the recommended form of Lions Mane and the one used in clinical trials. When using a 1:1 ratio water extract none of the bioavailable compounds are lost in the extraction process. It is known that in the mycelium of Lions Mane the erinacines are responsible for the NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) benefits. In Lions Mane fruiting body however, it is thought that the hericenones are responsible for the NGF benefits but it is unclear whether it is in fact something else present in the fruiting body that is responsible. It is better to have all bioactive compounds present. When extracts are at a ratio of 8:1 or 20:1 they are filtered and contain less beta glucans as these have been filtered out. Basically, if you're taking Lions Mane for its nerve growth benefit then a 1:1 extract is far more beneficial than a concentrated 8:1 or 20:1 extract. 

We sell 8:1 and 20:1 because there is a demand for these and they are recommended for their overall health benefits, but for those looking to benefit from the NGF present in Lions Mane it is recommend to take a 1:1 extract. The higher the concentration does not mean a better extract. A 1:1 extract will contain more Beta Glucans than 8:1 for example.
