The Science
Hericium erinaceus
The only known edible mushroom to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) synthesis. Hericenones and erinacines — the two active compound classes — are small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier. Used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Modern research focuses on cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection and nerve regeneration.
Ganoderma lucidum
The "Mushroom of Immortality" in traditional Chinese medicine. Triterpenoids (ganoderic acids) are the primary active compounds — linked to stress adaptation, immune regulation and hormonal balance. Best taken in the evening. Also explored for hormonal balance and post-exercise recovery.
Cordyceps militaris
Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine) is the key bioactive — directly influences ATP production and oxygen utilisation. Studies show improved VO2 max and reduced exercise-induced fatigue. We use C. militaris (cultivated) not wild C. sinensis — higher, more consistent cordycepin levels and fully sustainable.
Full spectrum protocol
Lion's Mane + Reishi + Cordyceps + Turkey Tail + Chaga + Shiitake. Each mushroom contributes a distinct mechanism — cognitive, adaptogenic, energetic, immune. One dropper covers every angle, every morning.
