Host Defense Lion's Mane Capsules
Cognitive support, nerve health, and general well-being.. The 1000mg dose of Lion's Mane is adequate for general cognitive support and nerve health. While effective, some studies suggest higher doses for more pronounced benefits. It's a solid single-ingredient option from a known brand, but the use of mycelium is a point of debate.
