There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have had people say that it is a placebo effect, but I have taken so many supplements over the years that I am pretty good at figuring out which ones work and which ones don't, because if a given supplement doesn't work, I'd rather stop taking it and use the money to try something different. This is not the placebo effect: this one actually works.
The taste is something you get used to, in fact, I kind of missed it during the months when it wasn't available to buy. It all goes to show that taste is really just familiarity (with the exception of genetic tasting abilities, like how some people taste soap when they eat cilantro...but I digress).
I also don't take it like a shot anymore, I just hold the dropper over my mouth and drop it right in. Two droppers-full gives the recommended dose.
11/25/2019: First, I have to say that this stuff really does work. I drop it into a children's medicine thingie (the one that looks like a graduated cylinder with a spoon-thing on the top) and take it like a shot. Within 30 minutes I can tell that my brain is working better (I have ADHD and other issues that give me brain fog).
Having said that, this stuff tastes HORRIBLE!! According to the label, it is 30-40% alcohol, and I can attest that it is worse than any tequila shot I've ever done. Burns all the way down and has the worst taste. I think I am going to try the capsules after this tincture is gone to see if they work as well but it is nice to have fewer pills to take....
Enter Host Defense Extract Lions Mane. Initially skeptical, I started taking the extract daily, hoping for a slight improvement. What I got was a noticeable shift in my mental clarity. My word recall sharpened, the fog lifted, and the frustrating pauses in conversation became a thing of the past.
It's not magic, but it's pretty close. While everyone's experience will differ, for me, Lion's Mane has been a game-changer. I feel more confident in conversations, more present in the moment, and sharper overall. It's not just about remembering more, it's about feeling mentally agile and engaged.

You take it and it does NOTHING at all!
Please save your money from this expensive bottle of 30 ml water. (water at least quenches the thirst, this does not even do that.)
