Lion's Mane Focus Elixir Mushroom Coffee Alternative | Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Powder, Rhodiola & Rose Hips | Immune & Memory Support | Paleo | Pack of 20

A friend mailed me three packets of Lion's Mane with the directions to "drink in coffee every morning for three days," then get back to him with how I felt. DAY 1: I felt an extra jolt, something I couldn't quite put my finger on. My attention and focus seemed better, memory recall etc. It kind of felt like my brain was in the Matrix, I was able to catch anything that flew by me. It was amazing. I figured it was the placebo effect though. DAY 2: I didn't feel quite the same intensity of results, but felt good. DAY 3: I didn't feel quite anywhere near what I felt on day 1 and day 2, but I did notice that my mood had been consistently good for those three days, my mental energy was consistent from morning to night, and I was able to recall names, places, and facts without hesitation -- rarity for me. I ordered a box of my own. DAY 4: No Lion's Mane, no withdrawals, no feelings of grogginess, just felt completely normal. DAY 5: Still felt normal. DAY 6: Normal still. DAY 7: Got my box of Lion's Mane in the mail, gave some to my friends and asked them to tell me how they felt after 3 days of consistent use. Everybody loved the initial rush of Day 1, all said they felt focusing was better. Some have been asking me to give them more since then lol. Tastes like the back of a stamp with earthy tones, and somebody said it definitely has a mushroom flavor. It really inspired me to find natural mental boosters, so grabbed some Ginkgo Biloba tea at the local Asian grocery and now make a morning elixir with the Ginkgo and Lion's Mane. I much prefer drinking it in a tea, rather than my coffee (I love the taste of coffee as it's own elixir). The friend who sent me packets that started this whole thing uses Lion's Mane every day. He says he doesn't notice the effects anymore, but says that overall he feels great -- but he's a healthful dude overall. Who really knows? 5 Stars though.

Tastes okay. I really didn't notice any actual focus enhancements and haven't reordered.

I often feel like my brain is in spiderwebs and it's frustrating. When my brother told me about this product he heard of, I was skeptical but figured it was worth trying. I'm glad I did. The elixir made me feel more clear and more confident in my ability to use my brain well. I felt like I could 1. recall words faster without being tongue tied, and 2. had more energy and focus to get things done as opposed to putting off tasks. I've questioned whether or not it's a placebo effect but even if it is, it's worth it. After several days of taking this I didn't feel the effects as much. I wondered if stopping and starting again would change that. So, after the package supply ran out and due to (what I think is) the high cost, I tried another company's lower cost product in pill form and was disappointed. After two weeks of not taking this elixir but taking the pills, I started the elixir again today and immediately felt the same positive effects. During my first try with the elixir, I couldn't stand the taste and had to chug it without smelling it. I told myself it was for the greater good but it was not enjoyable. Although it is sweetened with stevia, it still grossed me out. This time, however, I don't love it but it's more tolerable - maybe because I know that I feel better. In my experience it's best to drink it with a small cup of hot water - like a tea- rather than adding honey or other beverages to it. Doing that seems to only worsen the taste of the beverage you like as opposed to improving the earthy taste of the elixir. Last, and totally not relevant to the effects of the elixir: I like the design on the packaging and I LOVE the way the individual packets feel. They're soft and make me feel like I'm going to consume something fancy.

Lion's Mane Mushroom Elixir Mix was my first ever experience with neutropics. I was led to this product by a Tim Ferriss youtube video on supplements he recommends. Overall, I would say this is a good, but not great product. I ordered directly from Amazon a few months ago and have consumed around 10 packets since. The packaging looks nice and appealing and I was excited to experiment. It mixes well with both coffee and tea - the taste is excellent! After consuming the mixture I was ready to Go Limitless! While I didn't exactly feel like Bradley Cooper, I experienced a slight boost in energy and focus. Whether this was the caffeine from the coffee/tea or convincing myself of placebo mental benefits, I'm unsure. I think this product is worth trying and experimenting, but I would like to try something else before purchasing again.

It helps me stay sharper

The best Lions mane I have come across! You won’t find better. Easy to use package.

No idea why I bought this for $27. You can get same dose of lions mane in a capsule for less than $20 and it will last 3 months rather than 20 days as with this. Has a slightly eggy flavor.

I just placed my second order of this elixir because my first 20 packets are almost gone. Honestly, I felt the effects on day one. After drinking my first packet, I had an incredible energy boost — I worked on my project for more than 12 hours without a single drop in focus or fatigue. To be fair, I had just completed a 3-day fast and was two days into refeeding when I tried it for the first time. Maybe that made the effect even more noticeable — but either way, this blend really works for me. I usually mix it into about half a liter of warm water and drink it in the morning, often with a small bite of something tasty. It’s a gentle yet powerful way to start the day. I don’t drink coffee or consume anything with caffeine, so finding something that helps me stay alert and productive is a game-changer. Highly recommend trying it — especially if you’re caffeine-free and looking for long-lasting focus and mental clarity.

Brain Health! A little pricey I feel but probably worth it

Did some research online after debating whether to get lions mane from fruiting bodies, as this is, or not. Decided to try it out this way. Drank on its own and added to morning coffee. I definitely feel the difference when I take this vs days I skip it. Doesn’t make me jittery like a stimulant but makes me sharper and more focused. I had planned on ordering one of the supplements based on mycelium as there seems to be a lot of debate, but this worked so well I have ordered the matcha latte with lions mane. The only negative is the taste isn’t amazing, the amazon description said it contained mint which is undetectable, it’s more of a neutral, slightly bitter taste but easily disguised with coffee.

Little bit of an after taste from the sweetner. I'd prefer the same product without sweetner. It would probably taste awful but whatever I'm not looking to a delicious mushroom tea just something to get the job done and make me more better.

Awesome nutrition

Great but I would suggest not to take ahead of any creative sessions as you can get the "Einstellung" effect.
