Full Spectrum Lion's Mane Mushroom 500mg
Budget lion's mane that's 'full spectrum' (code for mycelium grown on grain mixed with some real mushroom). 500mg is below clinical doses. If you want lion's mane that works, spend a bit more on pure fruiting body extract at 1000mg+.
5.8/10
DECENTLion's mane at 500mg hits the minimum effective dose, but 'full spectrum' typically means mycelium grown on grain (starch filler) mixed with some fruiting body. This dilutes the active beta-glucans and hericenones/erinacines that drive NGF stimulation. Pure fruiting body extracts at 1000mg (optimal) from brands like Real Mushrooms or Nootropics Depot are significantly more potent. You're getting some lion's mane but with substantial grain filler.
