Here we round up our favourite functional mushroom supplements that earned top reviews from our customers.

- Designed with the addition of vitamin B12 to support normal mental function
- Made from lion’s mane mushrooms organically grown in the UK
- Vegan, gluten-free and keto friendly
The fuzzy fungus lion’s mane has been used as far back as the Ancient Greeks for its potential benefits.2
Grass & Co. uses organically grown, high strength Lion’s Mane extract plus vitamin B12. The latter (vitamin B12) supports normal psychological function.3
These vegan capsules are more concentrated than the edible form of lion’s mane, meaning you’ll get more potential benefits per serving.
If you’re new to using FOCUS capsules, start low and go slow.
Take with water and don’t exceed two capsules in 24 hours. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years old.
