I am currently obsessed with mushrooms! They make me feel so good and seem to really boost my immune system and support balancing my hormones. I was intrigued by this Mental Focus formula because of the combination of ingredients: Lion's Mane, Lemon Balm, Ginkgo Biloba, Rosemary and Lemon (as well as organic glycerin, filtered water, organic cane alcohol).<br /><br />Lion's Mane is an excellent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune-boosting mushroom. It's also known to lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and ulcers. Such a beneficial mushroom!<br /><br />Ginkgo Biloba is good for fighting fatigue and anxiety, providing stable energy. Lemon Balm reduces stress and anxiety as well and promotes good sleep and improved appetite.<br /><br />So, as you can see, this is an excellent supplement if you're looking for a stable mood, good energy, less inflammation and a strong immune system.<br /><br />It tastes super sweet, but also not bad at all. It's a great addition to coffee, but I also just drop it under my tongue for faster results.

Admittedly, my assimilation of nutrients is different than other people I know. I have even taken nutritional supplements like probiotics and experienced a side effect of feeling slighly buzzed or intoxicated. That being said, I did feel the effects of this sublingual immediately. The flavor is reminiscent of maple syrup, sweet and flavorful. The consistancy is also similar to maple syrup.<br /><br />Upon ingestion, I began to have a similar sensation in my body as Matcha tea. Both cross the blood/brain barrier and affect neurotransmitters in the brain- Seratonin and Dopamine. Research on the health benefits of lion's mane indicates the mushroom has significant potential to promote neurogenesis, prevent and repair nerve damage, as well as alleviate dementia, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and neuropathic pain, among other neurological health properties. Studies have also shown that Lion's Mane works in the brain to modulate neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin which may help to manage anxiety and depression symptoms.<br /><br />The effects of this supplement lasted throughout the day. I felt mentally active and was able to work on and accomplish many office tasks including this review. I like that this supplement is USDA organic and has supporting herbs such as ginko, lemon balm, lemon, spearment, and rosemary all of which have therapeutic applications for the body and mind as well.

The taste is sweet and it’s been helping with my memory a bit, I’ve only been taking it for the last couple days, but I’ve always heard that lions mane is the best! This is a MUST!!!

Expiration date is only a year from when I received it. But the included supplements are good. And I like that there are not a bunch of unnatural preservatives or flavor enhancers. The lid is a child proof design so it takes some hand strength to get it open. The flavor is decent, basically as expected. I easily took it straight without having to mask the flavor at all - just put it straight on my tongue.

I loved that this has a bunch of medicinal mushrooms. Great! And I love the idea of more energy. Really great. Made in the USA. Wonderful!!<br /><br />And I have been taking this faithfully - nearly every day - since I got it. But I can't say that I have noticed a radical difference taking this.<br /><br />So I doubt that I would continue with this simply because I haven't noticed enough of a difference from this.

I have been taking Cordyceps for a couple years and this tincture is a bit different than others on the market. It is sweet like the others but with a botanical/earthy under tone. I do like that there are no “junk” ingredients and the whole tincture is natural. It works as described and is affordable per dose to take daily.
