Components

What is in the gummy.

Each profile says what the ingredient is, what the research literature looks like, and where it is thin. Nothing here is a claim about our product.

Lion's Mane

Hericium erinaceus

What it is
An edible mushroom with a shaggy, white, icicle-like fruiting body.
Part used
We are formulating with fruiting body extract.
What the literature shows
Reviews describe two compound families: hericenones, reported in fruiting bodies, and erinacines, reported in mycelia. Reviewers say human trials are limited and call for larger, longer studies.
Ask a professional if
you have a mushroom allergy. Reviews list stomach discomfort, headache and allergic reactions as reported effects.

Amount of human research

Our reading of recent review articles. Illustrative, not a score of our product.

Cordyceps

Cordyceps militaris

What it is
A genus of fungi. The cultivated species C. militaris is the one most supplements use. Wild Ophiocordyceps sinensis is scarce and costly.
Part used
Fruiting body of the cultivated species.
What the literature shows
Reviews report compounds such as cordycepin, adenosine and polysaccharides. Human studies are few, small and mixed, with inconsistent results in exercise research.
Ask a professional if
you take blood thinners or have an autoimmune condition. A consumer summary advises caution here, ask first.

Vegan pectin

Gelling fiber from fruit

What it is
A plant fiber, usually from citrus peel or apple, used to set gummies without gelatin.

A common food ingredient. It is why the gummy can be vegan. Sugar content and any other ingredients are on the label.

you have a specific food allergy. Read the full ingredient list on the jar.

Infographic

How to read a supplement study.

Headlines often skip the step a result comes from. The higher the step, the more it tells you about people like you. Most mushroom research sits on the lower steps.

  1. Large controlled human trialsStrongest evidence
  2. Small human trialsUseful, easily skewed by few people
  3. Animal studiesShows what to test next in people
  4. Cell and lab studiesMechanism, not outcome in a person
  5. Traditional use, anecdotes, reviewsContext only

Videos

Watch, then judge for yourself.

Public YouTube videos made by other people. They open on YouTube. We did not make them and do not endorse their claims. Opinions range from enthusiastic to skeptical, which is the point.

Sources

Primary and public. Read them yourself.

Review articles on PubMed and PMC, and FDA consumer pages. We link, we do not copy, and we say when a source is a review and not a trial.
