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.

My wife and I have been using this product in our morning cup of coffee for a few years now. It has definitely cleared up our little bit of brain fog in the morning that we both experienced. We don't use the full recommended amount but definitely both felt an improvement after a few weeks. It adds a bit of an earthy flavor and will settle at the bottom of your mug so just swirl it around while drinking. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

After taking this for a month I could tell my thought process was better. My mental clarity was coming back. focus was back.

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.

I did lots of research on mushrooms to sift through the marketing crap and confusion. Here's why I repeatedly buy this product:- Organic. Critically important. Lions Mane grows on wood. In order for any mushroom grower to be competitive and profitable, they need to find a cheap source of wood, which is typically sawdust. But sawdust from many sources is toxic, as they are sawing wood that has glue and chemicals in it! These mushrooms are grown in sawdust from a wood mill in Canada that cuts natural hardwoods. So if it isn't organic, be highly suspicious of what they grow their mushrooms in.- Extract VS Fruiting body VS Mycelium - These are the 3 formats that mushrooms typically come in. There is a BIG difference in potency. Mycelium is the white connective tissue in the soil (wood substrate); it is the "roots" so to speak of the mushroom from which fruit comes up. Fruiting body is the actual mushroom, the part of the organism that grows above the soil. The fruiting body (actual mushroom) is more potent than the mycelium. One could say that the mycelium is really a biproduct of growing mushrooms, the real strong medicine is in the actual mushroom. This company creates an EXTRACT of the fruiting body, which is like real concentrated mushrooms. So you want mushroom extract - not mycelium, not mycelium extract, and not just ground mushrooms - Extract is the best! And that is what this company provides.- Results - I feel the difference when taking this product. Mental clarity is noticeably enhanced over time. I use the "Stamets Stack" method of microdosing. Look it up.Bottom line - this is quality stuff. The price seems more expensive when you compare price per ounce, but you can use much less of this one compared to the less expensive brands. If the other ones haven't really been working, try this one.

Enjoy this product which I add to my morning coffee. Convenient and easy to use.

Let people know that product is great
