How many capsules make a full serving?

Nine capsules. The bottle holds 270, so a full serving lasts about 30 days. You can start lower, at one to five capsules, and work up.

How does the lion's mane dose compare with standalone lion's mane products?

At 3,200 mg per full serving it is on the high end. Many standalone lion's mane capsules provide 500 to 1,000 mg per serving, so this blend is dosed generously on that mushroom.

Can I take fewer than nine capsules?

Yes. The label suggests starting at one to five capsules. Taking fewer lowers every mushroom's dose proportionally, so you won't get the full 6,700 mg.

Is this a substitute for separate cordyceps or reishi supplements?

It can be, since both are included at 1,500 mg per full serving. If you want a much higher dose of one specific mushroom, a standalone product gives more control.

Does it contain any other active ingredients?

The blend is the four mushrooms: lion's mane, cordyceps, reishi and maitake. Check the full supplement facts panel for fillers and capsule materials if you have sensitivities.

Anyone on medication, pregnant or nursing, or with a mushroom allergy should talk to a doctor first. Mushroom extracts can interact with immunosuppressants and blood thinners.
