This product works!
I have noticed my memory improving. Names, which I have always had trouble with, are coming to me faster. It’s improved my sense of clarity. This product really works. My only gripe is the price. It’s a little hard to manage…

No more brain fog!
My husband and I work a lot on computers. This lion’s mane is the best so far!Maybe this is just for me, but if I take this at night, I tend to have very vivid dreams.

Brain clarity and ease of use!
I purchased these Lion’s Mane extract drops from Host Defense for more brain clarity and the ease of use. I also sent some to my mother. I like being able to do a quick dropper full. The taste is fine though you do get a fairly strong alcohol flavor though it’s doesn’t bother me. I feel when I use them regularly that I feel more clear and words come easier. I use Host Defense after seeing Paul Stamets speak. It seems a bit high in price but I do feel I am getting a quality product. I plan to order the larger size next time.

Helps with ADHD and overall brain function
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….

Squeegee For The Brain. Tastes Like Just What It Is.
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.

Mushroom schnapps
There’s a lot of alcohol in this. Research on the supplement is promising and as far as I can tell this is good quality re: reliability w/r/t ingredients and weight. But the effect of the alcohol plus lion’s mane on flavor means it just flat out tastes like mushroom schnapps. Which, just to be clear, is not something I would stock in my home bar.

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.)
