Brain Forza Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Capsules, Natural Supplement for Memory Support, Focus, Clarity, Nerve Health, Non-GMO, Vegan, Organic, 90 Capsules

My name is Dr Joseph Yi and I am a Holistic Psychiatrist Board Certified in Addiction Medicine. For over 13 years, I have been implementing Supplements, exercise, nutrition, and spirituality in conjunction with medications for treating my clients. I can honestly say that supplementation is not only a should, but a must for most people today to achieve optimal both physical & behavioral health. After wasting tons of money on many brands of supplements that have barely had any benefits for myself and my clients, I have discovered multiple QUALITY supplements in Brain Forza’s Lion's Mane, Lemon Balm, KSM-66 Ashwagandha, and 5Htp. Lion's Mane mushroom has multiple benefits by enhancing brain function (and reducing symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases), specifically by enhancing NEUROPLASTICITY which is the neurons ability to grow and form new synapses (connections) with neighboring neurons. Neuroplasticity can also be enhanced through cardiovascular exercise, meditation, consuming Curcumin/Omega-3 fatty acids/Magnesium, and even learning a musical instrument! But Lion's Mane mushroom also has the added benefits of protecting against Cancer (check out any of Dr Joel Fuhrman's books on the nutritarian diet and you will be inundated with info on anti-cancer benefits of mushrooms in general). Other benefits include supporting your cardiovascular health through reducing inflammation and helping increase your 'Good' HDL cholesterol. Recent studies also suggest benefits for anxiety and improving energy. Brain Forza's Lion's Mane Mushroom is 2nd to none in terms of quality and pricing. i routinely recommend this Supplement for my behavioral health clients to optimize their Cognition and brain health.

I originally learned about Lion's Mane Mushrooms from the Joe Rogan podcast where he interviews Paul Stamets. I immediately went on Amazon to order these. My parents are both in their 60's, and have memory problems. I already know that they are going to develop worse mental problems as they get older, and after hearing that this helps fix those issues, I wanted them to try it. They are both taking 1 to 2 a day (the recommended dose is 3 per day.) and they haven't noticed any difference, but personally, I do. I'm 28, so my memory is still pretty good, but taking these capsules helped me to realize just how much help I needed. After I take one of these, I feel much more awake and alert...So much so that I don't need coffee. It makes me able to focus on the task at hand, and be more productive. It also helps me sleep better. I normally toss and turn, and if I sleep too long, I wake up in a lot of pain. Taking one of these before bed helped me to lay still and wake up feeling refreshed. I also have far less anxiety after I take one of these. I didn't realize how bad my anxiety was until I now know what a "normal" brain feels like. It's like I can actually feel content with life, relaxed, and optimistic without pushing myself to feel that way. I never thought of myself as someone who needed anxiety medication, because I always worked through my thoughts. However, now that I know I can take an all-natural mushroom that takes away the bad thoughts, of course I love it. People joke that it will make you smarter, but that's not exactly true. It's more like your brain can make connections a lot easier, or like you can pick up pieces of a puzzle and know exactly where it belongs, instead of struggling to figure out where it fits. So, if you combine it with research and studying, I can see how that it would make you "smarter". If I was still in school, I would most definitely take two of these before an exam. I am definitely going to re-order these or find them in my local store once I run out. I highly recommend it.

In full disclosure, I've only been taking this for a week. The dose is 3 pills, 3x a day or 1x per day. I figured I could take it as I pleased, so I've been taking one in the morning, and 2 before bedtime. In that time I've seen NO changes in my mental clarity or concentration. But I've given the product 4 stars anyway, because it DID, somehow, improve the quality of my sleep, substantially! I'd been struggling for a long time with being able to sleep all through the night. I'd wake up 2 or 3 times throughout the night, and never felt like I was getting adequate sleep. I often struggled to fall back asleep again. From day one of taking the Lion's Mane, I slept without ever waking up once, which has been wonderful, so I'm not going to complain too loudly about this product! It was surely the Lions Mane because ny diet had not changed, nor my excercise routine, nor my environment. Nothing changed except the addition of this supplement to my diet. Because this result was NOT something I was expecting, its also not just placebo! LOL 😂 It didn't do what I expected, but it did cure my sleep disturbances! Now I sleep like a baby 😴

So, I did research on Lion's Mane mushroom before making a purchase. I have just recently been reading about nootropic compounds. I was recommend this mushroom by a friend. It's a nootropic that has many additional benefits besides it's effects on the brain and a very effective compound. This brand was repeatedly being mentioned in articles for having some of the purist Lion's Mane available on the market. While typical dosage ranges from 500-3000 mg a day, the amount taken depends on potency (30% polysaccharide content being common; this brand has about 69%). Since this brand has more than double the potency of most normal Lion's Mane products, you only need to take about half as much of the max dose (1.5 g) to experience the benefits (No evidence has been show than taking more than 3g has any additional benefits). Lion's Mane works by increasing Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). Lion’s Mane increases the amount of NGF in the brain, which enhances cognition by reducing inflammation, encouraging neural growth, and improving overall brain health. There is a human study that was performed in Japan that consisted of 50- to 80-year-old individuals that were diagnosed with mild cognitive decline. They were administered Lion’s Mane extract at a total daily dose of 3 g per day for 16 weeks. They found a significant increase in scores on the cognitive function scale without any adverse effects. While I do not suffer from neurodegeneration, I did experience seizures when I was a kid that may have damaged parts of my brain. I will report back at the end of the month and add to this review my findings. My review will be about my experience with Lion's Mane in general and likely will not effect the ratings of this product.

I bought 2 different Brain Forza supplements and the capsules look the same impossible to tell them apart. the product is ok, I think. are they really different? Brain Forza KSM-66 Ashwagandha Organic Pure Root Extract Brain Forza Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Capsules

I have only come across Lion's Mane fairly recently. The data found on some of the peer reviewed articles looked pretty sound; so I decided to take the leap and try. I will say that after a few weeks I began to feel a slight difference. I have had issues with my left foot as a results of old running injuries. The sensations varied from a tingle to an itch. Pretty astounding considering I haven't had feeling in those toes in about a year. I also noticed a mental clarity which was extremely refreshing! I had ADD and have been on stimulant medication for several years. I wish I had never started those medications since I am starting to feel the long term side effects from them. Lion's Mane has helped diminish some of the negative effects. It has been slight, but any improvement is still viewed as a positive gain in my eyes! Overall, I am pleased with my purchase from Brain Forza. I am looking forward to using this product again in the near future.

So. If you're into supplements and finding some that will help reduce anxiety and improve mental clarity, then you've probably tried amino acids such as L-theanine or herbs such as St. John's Wart. You may have used DLPA or 5htp. These may have worked well for you. I tried them too (and many others) with high hopes and big letdowns. But, I may be very different from you bc I suffer from mild bipolar disorder and mild borderline personality disorder. Many articles will tell you that supplements are less likely to work if you have these conditions (and so will the lables) but I venture anyhow bc I'm desperate for relief. I have only found one other supplement that comes anything near the relaxation of this lion's mane but is still not as effective... that's NAC, an antioxidant. It works well but you don't feel it as immediately or intensely. But let me tell you... I just tried this lion's mane about half an hour ago and I am better than relaxed. I'm happy. It feels good to finally be able to leave a positive review after so many trial and errors. PS I only took one.

I purchased this product because of the high reviews, but did not expect it to work as well as it does. The serving size is three capsules, but I have found that one per day (in the morning) is a sufficient dose, as it is still 500 mg of Lion's Mane. On days I need to study, I take two. The effect is not instant, but I definitely noticed better memory recall and increased focus after about 2 weeks. The best thing about this product is that it feels like a natural change for your brain. I have not experienced any crashes in energy, and my sleep schedule is not affected in any way. Compared to other products I've seen, you get more 500 mg capsules for an equal or lower price with this product. Although the price is lower, it is not cheap in quality. I plan on purchasing another bottle once I finish my first one.

All brain tonics I have taken, this product has boosted my brain especially remembering names.

Great price, delivered fast and as advertised. I learned about Lion's Mane through a podcast with Paul Stamets (research that guy and you will see fungi in a different light). I have been taking Lion's Mane for 3 months and have noticed numbness in my big toes resolve. I have much less work related anxiety and have more clarity and drive. Introspection and self-discipline are finding their way into my life and I am also finding i am starting to sleep better (12 yrs of chronic insomnia). I still rarely sleep a full night but its definitely improved and i have vivid dreams most nights. I am not sure how much of this is really attributable to the Lion's Mane but its certainly helping.

I bought a brand before this one that didn't work. Once I tried this one, I instantly saw the effects within hours. Clarity of mine decision making mood and more I strongly recommend this product. It really works

Shocked to see that despite trying 3 bottles I noticed no appreciable benefits for my damaged memory. Had very high hopes after reading about neuron-repairing abilities of Lions Mane mushroom. But all hopes dashed! Will not recommend this.

Great product, quick shipping, came as expected. 100% would recommend. Don't expect immediate results with taking Lion's Mane, give it about 4-6 weeks of consistently taking it everyday. I was in a car accident and am constantly in pain. Needless to say my memory isn't the greatest, I noticed major improvements in my memory around week 4-5. Also improved my mood, probably because I could remember more than an hour in the past for the first time in almost a year. 10/10 would buy again.
