Lion's Mane Mushroom Capsules, Nootropics for Focus & Clarity

I have been taking these capsules for a few months now and I love them! I used to rely on adderall to stay focused on tasks but have completely stopped taking it now because I don't need it anymore! Overall great brand + great product. Highly recommend giving this a try to add to your daily routine.

This product really works for me I love this product from Green roads

My husband feels like he has adult adhd (though not officially diagnosed) as he has a hard time keeping focused on tasks at hand. He asked me to find a focus supplement for him and I landed on Lion's Mane. We are trying this one to start because it has just the one mushroom. Many others include several types which is great but I have read Lions Mane can cause headaches, so figured we would try it out slowly and see how he reacted. So far so good. He says the nickel sized pills are easy to swallow and no taste. No headache so far and no stomach upset. He feels like he noticed a small difference in his ability to concentrate but he has just started taking the dose, so really need more time to see if it progresses. Overall, waiting to see how effective product is and also hope to see company list the extraction method as other companies do.Pros:--No taste, easy to swallow (about length of a nickel)--Safety inner foil seal (no seal on box or lid)--Both bottle and lid are recyclable--Safety push and twist lid--USA sourced--Includes turmeric and black pepperCon:--Didn't see anywhere what the extraction method is. Apparently dual extraction (hot water & alcohol) yield the best health benefits. Alcohol extracts of Lions Mane benefit cognitive function.Since Lion's Mane is new to me, I did a bit of searching around and found the following I wasn't previously aware of:Side effects could include:--drowsiness, facing heart, headache, stomach upset, diarrheaGood for:--Memory, Focus, Clarity, Creativity, Gut Health, memory retention, Nootropic potential, Potential to support cognitive function, May improve digestive health, Anti-inflammatory potential, May protect against cancer--Can also be beneficial for neuropathy-- Some use for Alzheimer disease, dementiaCaution ( from WebMD):-- Might slow blood clotting which might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding in people with bleeding conditions and reduce blood glucose levels creating blood sugar issues. Speak to your doctor before any surgery since extra bleeding could occur.--Taking lion's mane mushroom along with diabetes medications might cause blood sugar to drop too low.--Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs) interacts with LION'S MANE MUSHROOM and could increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.Tips:--Mushrooms are adaptogenic, so should be taken in intervals [a set time taking them, then a break before repeating (on/off/on/off)]

So far, this seems to be a quality lion's mane supplement that helps me with brain fog with various causes.What I like:I LOVE that these are USA sourced mushrooms, as shown on the bottle. I love the squat bottle shape, which fits nicely into my car console to take these in the morning on the way to work. The lion's mane seems to be great quality, as it contributes to a clear-minded day for me. I also appreciate the black pepper extract, which can help with better nutrient absorption. I very much appreciate the vegan capsules.What I wish were different:The ideal mushroom supplements are made from extract of fruiting body, without mycelium which can include the grains the mushrooms were grown on. This includes the mycelium, in addition to rice flour. High quality mushroom supplements are better as extracts (from the research I've done), so this may not be as potent a source as extract options out there. (I am not a scientist, though, and this seems to work well for me.) The turmeric included is a low dose not standardized for curcuminoids, though one would probably take a different supplement for the anti-inflammatory benefits of curcuminoids.Overall, this supplement works well for me and I recommend it.

I was looking for some help focusing during working hours and I’m tired of binging coffee. I found this to help give my brain that little boost in the morning.

Started using as part of my daily routine for focus in the afternoon. Really like the quality and dose from Green Roads.

I am so unhappy with this product. The capsules are filled with a brown, grassy, herb-like substance. It is not a yellow powder at all. I took one capsule (before I rechecked the advertisement and noticed the difference in the product) and had the worse case of diaharrea with abdominal discomfort ever. I had to take a day home from work. Amazon says you cannot return and the company will not respond to inquiries. I am so hurt right now.

Working great so far. Trying to lower my caffeine intake and taking this has been a huge help
