Lion's Mane
Lion's mane is the reason most people first hear about functional mushrooms. Its claim to fame is nerve growth factor stimulation — compounds in the fruiting body that, in laboratory settings, encourage the growth and repair of nerve cells.
We use a fruiting-body extract and print the milligrams, because that is the part the research actually looks at. It is the most-studied cognitive mushroom we know of, and the one we want in a cup you drink every morning.
