I am trying this product out after completing my Host Defense lions mane powder. I want to test for myself which is more effective since it seems that both companies have differing theories on whether it is the fruiting body or the mycelium that they benefit comes from. Right now, I feel that it is fairly even? I haven’t had any measurable increase or decrease in congnitive benefit since switching (it’s possible it’s a bit less of a zing to it - I’ve had a few foggy days but also can’t entirely say that wasn’t due to less sleep...but then again that could also be from switching the product, too - ugh, too soon to say for certain.). I do like that the company is transparent about the amount of starch in their products, a problem with mushroom supplements; they even sell a testing kit so you can get an idea for yourself if you use other brands. I’m not as jazzed by the fact that certain brands of their mushrooms are grown in Asia, but have to trust their testing is solid. I dislike the taste of this compared to Host Defense (but that could also be because it is more mushroom and less starch). Still, it’s bitter and I choke it down (a small price to pay for the benefits and probably could be more palatable if I mixed it with something other than water, but I try to fast in the AM and this is about as much of a fast breaker as I want to go). Ultimately the taste is the taste of the natural mushroom and making it better would only mean adding something unnecessary. But ya, it tastes like *** on its own but I’m not going to mark it down for tasting like what it naturally tastes like, that’s like blaming an apple for tasting like an apple. So I’m still getting amazing benefits from Lions Mane from this supplement - mental clarity, improved sleep overall, fog-free afternoons. I plan to switch back to Host when this is finished and I think that will be where I distinguish if there is a measurable difference and make a final decision on which product to continue with.

This is a quality product. It disolves in my hot tea. Tastes good, gives me an energy boost and has helped me think clearer. I wasn't happy with the price and tried another company's brand to get more for the money. I had to toss it out. Didnt disolve just stayed in a clump. Had a horrible taste and gave me a headache and nausea. So am just going to stick with what works now. I am not going to try another brand again. I prefer this brand in powder form because you can put it in hot drinks to get a bigger benefit. Read more

If you can order from USA directly, maybe you can expect of price/cost difference. Otherwise they are offering it in a hiked price. Read more

This product actually works, but the quantity is not worth the price Read more
