Description FOCUS Mushroom Powder Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, & Reishi Mushrooms Mushroom Fruiting Body 1:1 Extract Powder FOCUS Mushroom Powder contains Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, and Reishi Mushrooms in equal quantities to boost memory, concentration, focus, and attention span. Cordyceps increases the body’s production of the molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s main source of energy, which provides the brain the nutrients it needs to function properly, while also reducing fatigue. Lion’s Mane helps stimulate the growth of brain cells from hericenones and erinacines. These compounds reduce memory loss and prevent neuronal damage caused by amyloid-beta plaques. Reishi is an adaptogen, balancing the body’s stress response, increasing resiliency against day to day challenges, boosting mood, and promoting feelings of calm wellbeing. Adaptogenic Improves Cognition Boosts Energy What is a mushroom extract? A mushroom extract is created by applying an extraction (such as water or alcohol) to a raw mushroom in order to pull out healthy ingredients. Through extraction, part of the active compounds’ properties release, dissolve, and boost their bioavailability. Extraction procedures enable access to substances that are inaccessible without them. Chitin, a stiff substance also present in fish, crustacean shells, and insect shells, makes up the rough surface of mushrooms. Proteins, polysaccharides, and terpenoids that are locked in the chitin cell wall of the mushroom prevent us from accessing them without heating or extraction. So what does 1:1 mean? The amount of dry mushroom needed to create the final concentrated extract is known as a mushroom extraction ratio. For instance, if the mushroom extract ratio was 10:1, 10g of mushrooms would be required for every 1g of extract. But more isn’t always better! Sometimes this is done underhandedly in marketing to make the product appear to have more mushrooms while, in reality, it may just be wasting resources. We feel a 1:1 ratio is just right.
