Analysis

The formula combines magnesium and amla with lion's mane fruiting-body extract. That mix may suit users seeking several general wellness ingredients rather than a dedicated mushroom product.

Lion's mane is clearly identified as fruiting body, which is a useful sourcing detail. Its amount is very low, and neither extraction method nor beta-glucan content is disclosed.

The serving cost is difficult to justify for the lion's mane delivered. A focused extract with a meaningful amount would be easier to evaluate for cognitive use.

Who is it for
  • Adults wanting magnesium, amla, and lion's mane together
  • Users treating lion's mane as a minor addition
  • People who prefer capsules
Best for
  • Multi-ingredient wellness support
  • Magnesium and amla intake
  • Low-dose lion's mane inclusion

Pros

  • Fruiting body is specified
  • Exact lion's mane amount is disclosed
  • Amla species and berry are identified
  • No proprietary blend

Cons

  • Very low lion's mane amount
  • No beta-glucan standardization
  • Extraction method is missing
  • High cost for the mushroom delivered

Warnings

  • Avoid lion's mane with a known mushroom allergy
  • Magnesium may loosen stools in sensitive users
  • Amla may add to glucose-lowering effects from insulin or sulfonylureas

Nutrient quality

67 High impact

Fruiting-body lion’s mane is identified, but magnesium form and mushroom standardization are absent. The modest lion’s mane amount is unlikely to carry a broad cognitive blend on its own.

Ingredient transparency

73 High impact

Specific amounts are supplied for all listed actives. No proprietary blend hides a key quantity.

Customer satisfaction

49 Lower impact

The supplied aggregate rating metric is mixed and gives no specific experience details. The very small response count prevents high confidence in satisfaction.

Value for money

43 Lower impact

Missing quality markers make the cost difficult to justify. The serving cost is high relative to the disclosed formula.

The fruiting body extract is a favorable source, but its extraction method and beta-glucan content are not disclosed. The 100 mg daily amount is well below the preferred potency range, despite clear disclosure of the individual mushroom amount. A high serving cost further limits practical value for Lion's Mane support.
