Host Defense Mushrooms Lion's Mane Extract - Lion's Mane Liquid Supplement for Brain Health - Mushroom Support for Focus & Memory Function - Immune & Nervous System Support - 1 fl oz (30 Servings)*

This is pretty good for cognitive impairment. It clears the brain fog! When you walk into a room and forgot why you went into it it’s time for Lions Mane!!

Put this in my coffee every morning, will continue to do so as long as I’m alive. Some may say they don’t notice the benefits right away, but it’s an adaptogen, meaning you must use it over time continuously. Wonderful product.

First, everyone says this tastes terrible. It tastes like mushrooms mixed with vodka. Which is pretty much what it is, so not sure what people were expecting. This does not taste like Jennifer Aniston right out of the shower. Second, it does what it says it does, it gives your brain a bit of a lite lift. If you put the dropper in your mouth and let it sit under your tongue it will burn a bit (I mean its mushroom vodka), but it will get into your system quicker. You will feel a 5% increase in your brain clarity within the 15 minutes and will keep you perked up. Not sure how long it lasts, but it will wear off. I take mine without food: 1st thing in the AM and at noon. Sometimes before bed to help me sleep (thanks mushroom vodka!). Got this to give me a bit of a boost on days when I need it. And so far so good. A 5% increase in my overall well being is well worth the price.

Update 11/10/2020: I have been taking this for the past year, with the exception of a few months when it wasn't available due to mushroom shortage or something. I still really like it. I don't take it every day, but I do take it most days. I love that it is a tincture because it goes to work almost instantly. My head clears up every-so-slightly and I am more productive. I have had people say that it is a placebo effect, but I have taken so many supplements over the years that I am pretty good at figuring out which ones work and which ones don't, because if a given supplement doesn't work, I'd rather stop taking it and use the money to try something different. This is not the placebo effect: this one actually works. The taste is something you get used to, in fact, I kind of missed it during the months when it wasn't available to buy. It all goes to show that taste is really just familiarity (with the exception of genetic tasting abilities, like how some people taste soap when they eat cilantro...but I digress). I also don't take it like a shot anymore, I just hold the dropper over my mouth and drop it right in. Two droppers-full gives the recommended dose. 11/25/2019: First, I have to say that this stuff really does work. I drop it into a children's medicine thingie (the one that looks like a graduated cylinder with a spoon-thing on the top) and take it like a shot. Within 30 minutes I can tell that my brain is working better (I have ADHD and other issues that give me brain fog). Having said that, this stuff tastes HORRIBLE!! According to the label, it is 30-40% alcohol, and I can attest that it is worse than any tequila shot I've ever done. Burns all the way down and has the worst taste. I think I am going to try the capsules after this tincture is gone to see if they work as well but it is nice to have fewer pills to take....

This is great product, l’m ordering this For the third time. Absolutely no taste What so ever, can also put it in coffee. Be careful which one you decide to buy. I’ve done my homework, so go for it.

Easy to use, no aftertaste, helps with memory!

Terrible burns!!!!

One of the most significant effects of Lion's Mane is that it has a positive effect on dementia. A study conducted by Shizoka University Japan showed that Lion's Mane stimulates Nerve Growth Factor. A lack of Nerve Growth Factor is what contributes to such conditions as Alzheimer's Disease. Unfortunately, Nerve Growth Factor is something that diminishes and it can be difficult to replenish because it is too large and significant to pass through the membrane that protects it. The study conducted at Shizoka showed that Lion's Mane can replenish Nerve Growth Factor, therefore reducing the effects that dementia can have on a person's life. This significantly improves the quality of life. This is basically a prevention of the breakdown of healthy neurological function. If there is a breakdown, that breakdown can be stopped and further breakdown prevented. This is not a cure for dementia, but the benefits are significant in slowing down the effects and possibly halting any further damage. To get optimum effects, it is important to add Lion's Mane to an existing supplement schedule. Do not change the intake of vitamins and minerals. Simply add Lion's Mane to the routine to reap the benefits of all the things you are doing to improve your health. Other health benefits that are exhibited by Lion's Mane include regulating cholesterol levels and blood sugar. These are very important for healthy lifestyles. What is even better is that Lion's Mane is deemed completely safe. There are no signs of toxicity since the mushroom itself promotes the expulsion of toxins within the body. Scientific research has shown that there are no known side effects, which may have something to do with the fact that Lion's Mane is completely natural and edible. Throughout recorded history, there have not been any side effects recorded. If there have been any, they have not been significant enough to mention. It is clear to see that the benefits are many. Lion's Mane may seem somewhat complicated, but it is that complicity that makes it so effective. It works on bodily processes to ensure they continue to function the way that they're supposed to. This provides a degree of equilibrium in your life that you need to function properly. You'll feel better and you'll even live longer when you take care of yourself. The benefits can't be denied.

This product does absolutely NOTHING! You take it and it does NOTHING at all! Please save your money from this expensive bottle of 30 ml water. (water at least quenches the thirst, this does not even do that.)
