Micro Ingredients Organic Lion’s Mane Mushroom Powder, 16oz | Pure Fruiting Body Superfood | Supports Brain, Focus, Energy & Immune Health | Great for Smoothies & Coffee | Filler Free, Vegan, Non-GMO

I’ve been using this lion’s mane powder for few months now—one scoop in my morning protein shake—so I figured I'd write up a review from the “fits into a busy trainer/coach lifestyle” perspective. What I like: The bag is large (16 oz), and for the price, I think it’s a pretty good value. The flavor/texture is mild—just a faint earthy taste, which works well blended with a smoothie or coffee. I do feel a bit more mental clarity on some days—less brain fog when pacing through client calls and programming. As someone working with moms and busy clients, the “organic, vegan, non-GMO” label is a plus: it aligns with my brand of clean, quality-first wellness. What I’m less impressed by: The effect is subtle. I wouldn’t say I’m dramatically different from before using it—training, nutrition and recovery are still doing the heavy lifting. The label isn’t super transparent on “how much of the key active compounds” you’re getting (e.g., standardized extracts or beta-glucan percentages). That makes it harder to judge how “potent” it really is. Since I coach postpartum moms, I’m very cautious about recommending it broadly; the safety data for certain groups (e.g., breastfeeding) is less robust, so I’d say this is a “nice optional add” rather than a must-have. Final verdict: If you already have your training, nutrition, sleep, and recovery routines in place and are looking for a clean, well-priced functional mushroom powder to support focus or wellness, this is a solid choice. But if you’re expecting it to replace the fundamentals (or to generate rapid, noticeable changes on its own), you’ll probably be disappointed.

I was very happy with the 1st initial purchase; its texture is great for a smoothie or juice you're preparing. It is very effective and helps with focus once taken in the morning. It was a great value for my money, and I continue to buy it. The package is very child-friendly.

lions Mane for the Win! It does everything it says it does! I add this to my coffee and I have energy without the jitters, clearer thinking, and no side effects. It works great!

Started using a few days ago. so far so good

First time trying this product and I really love it, I know I’ll be buying another bag when this one is finished.

I am aging, we all are. I was battling brain fog and couldn’t remember important numbers at work. 3 days of this and wow!!!! I can lock in my whole days and regurgitate it like mad.

Works great

This powder is reasonable priced and seems to tick all the right boxes. However, I learned after ordering that when it says it contains the mycelium, it probably contains a fair amount of rice hulls which is the growing medium rather than the mushroom. I wish I had ordered the pure mushroom powder. I cooked this into a soup to see how much powder I would have to put in, and how it would taste. I can say it wasn't particularly mushroom flavored, and took a lot of powder. I had some questions for the company that produces it and wanted more information about testing, so tried to chase them down. My memory is that the address is the same as a Chinese import warehouse in the US. No one answers the phone. Google street view shows nothing that looks like an office or business and no business signs at that address. A import distribution business owned by the same person did answer the phone, but wanted me to give them more information about my order number before they would answer questions. I decided I didn't really care, and never followed up. I looked into the research lion's mane mushrooms and neuron growth, and you would have to eat several times your body weight a doctor quipped, to get the amount the mice were getting in the research. Further, I seem to remember it was extracted in ways the home cook is not equipped to replicate. How much of this supplement might be an effective dose, and to do what, is unclear. I looked at all the studies, and decided it was fairly unlikely this would help my dog's neurological condition in her relatively limited remaining lifetime. I am eating more mushrooms generally, and have hope for this research, but may just be adding this supplement to other dishes where I want more mushrooms. If it helps forestall dementia, or builds neurons, great! If I were using it as a supplement, I would be likely to use more than the recommended dose. I was giving it to the dog every day for a short time, and she ate it poured over or mixed into food without complaint. It has been a while since I looked into the research on this mushroom, as well as the company. If you are interested in these issues I hope you do your own research as I did not look up my notes for all the specifics before doing this review.

amazing product

good
