Suggested Use
How to Use
Place one strip on your tongue and allow it to dissolve fully, no water needed. Take one strip daily, ideally at the same time each morning to build a consistent routine. These strips are appropriate for morning or early afternoon use. Do not exceed 1 strip per day unless directed by a healthcare professional. Store in a cool, dry place below 77°F (25°C) away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Mushroom Sensitivity Notice: This product contains four mushroom species. Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus), Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris), Maitake (Grifola frondosa), and Shiitake (Lentinula edodes). Mushrooms are fungi, not shellfish, and are not classified as major allergens under U.S. labeling law. However, if you have a known sensitivity or adverse reaction to any mushroom species, consult your physician before use.
Pregnancy & Nursing: Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Autoimmune Conditions: Because functional mushrooms may modulate immune activity, individuals with autoimmune conditions or taking immunosuppressant medications should consult their physician before use.*

Why Focus & Vitality Strips
The functional mushroom supplement market has a transparency problem: most products use mycelium grown on grain, and the grain substrate can account for 50-80% of the product's total weight, diluting the fungal actives you are actually paying for. Every mushroom in this formula is fruiting body sourced, and every dose is openly stated on the label.
What Sets It Apart
- 100% fruiting body, no mycelium on grain. All four mushrooms are sourced from fruiting bodies, where active compounds (beta-glucans, hericenones, cordycepin) are most concentrated. Mycelium-on-grain products can be primarily grain starch by weight.*
- Four complementary species in one strip. Lion's Mane for cognitive support, Cordyceps for physical vitality, Maitake and Shiitake for immune and healthy aging support, a broader functional profile than single-mushroom products.*
- Fully transparent doses. Every mushroom is listed with its exact milligrams per strip. No "mushroom complex" blend label obscuring how much of each you are actually getting.
- Fast-dissolving oral format. No capsules, no water required, the strip dissolves on the tongue in seconds, making a daily functional mushroom habit simple regardless of where you are.
- Vegan pullulan film. The dissolvable film base is plant-derived pullulan, suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. No gelatin, no animal-derived carriers.
- Chocolate flavor, a natural complement. Cacao and mushrooms have a long traditional pairing. The chocolate flavor is light and pleasant, with none of the earthy bitterness common in unflavored mushroom products.
- Honest everyday pricing, no subscriptions, no promo codes, the price you see is the price, year-round.

Allergen Notice: This product is vegan and vegetarian. Free from gluten, dairy, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, and shellfish. Contains mushroom species (fungi), not classified as a major allergen under U.S. federal labeling law but note for individuals with known mushroom sensitivities. No mycelium-on-grain. Manufactured in a GMP-compliant facility.
Fruiting body mushroom extracts contain significantly higher concentrations of biologically active compounds, including beta-glucans, hericenones, and erinacines, than mycelium-on-grain preparations, where the grain substrate itself often accounts for the majority of the product's weight and dilutes the mushroom-derived actives.

How the Ingredients Work
Every ingredient in Focus & Vitality Strips is listed at its exact dose, no proprietary mushroom blends, no mycelium-on-grain filler. All four mushrooms are sourced from fruiting bodies, the part of the fungus where active compounds are most concentrated. Here is what each one contributes.*
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
250 mg per serving • fruiting body • DV not establishedLion's Mane is a distinctive white, shaggy-appearing fungus that grows on hardwood trees and is unique among functional mushrooms for its content of hericenones and erinacines, compounds that research suggests may support the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein involved in the maintenance and function of neurons.* Published human studies have examined Lion's Mane supplementation in the context of cognitive function, mental clarity, and mood support in adults.* The fruiting body source used here contains the hericenones that drive the most-studied mechanisms, mycelium-on-grain preparations are largely absent of these compounds.*
Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris)
200 mg per serving • fruiting body • DV not establishedCordyceps militaris is a cultivated fungal species studied for its content of cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine) and adenosine, compounds associated with supporting ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production in cells, the primary energy currency of the body.* Research on Cordyceps has examined its role in supporting aerobic capacity, oxygen utilization, and physical stamina in human subjects.* The C. militaris fruiting body form used here is grown without animal host substrates and contains higher, more consistent cordycepin concentrations than wild Cordyceps sinensis.*
Maitake (Grifola frondosa)
150 mg per serving • fruiting body • DV not establishedMaitake, whose name translates literally to "dancing mushroom" in Japanese, is a highly regarded culinary and functional fungus long used in East Asian health traditions. It is particularly rich in beta-1,3/1,6-glucans, the branched polysaccharides most associated with supporting innate immune function through activation of macrophages and natural killer cell activity.* Human and preclinical research on Maitake has focused on immune modulation, blood sugar regulation support, and metabolic health.* As a fruiting body extract, the beta-glucan density is meaningfully higher than mycelium-based preparations.*
Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)
150 mg per serving • fruiting body • DV not establishedShiitake is one of the most widely consumed mushrooms in the world and one of the most studied for its functional compounds, including lentinan (a beta-1,3-glucan) and eritadenine, which have been examined for immune support and cardiovascular health, respectively.* Shiitake also contains ergothioneine, an antioxidant amino acid that accumulates in tissues and has been the subject of growing research interest in the context of healthy aging.* The fruiting body extract used here captures the full complement of these compounds, which are substantially less concentrated in mycelium-on-grain products.*
Who This Is For
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is the most-studied functional mushroom in the context of nerve growth factor support and cognitive function.* One chocolate strip per day provides a consistent daily dose of fruiting body Lion's Mane extract alongside three complementary mushrooms for a broader functional profile.*
Cordyceps militaris has been studied in the context of cellular energy production, specifically ATP synthesis and oxygen utilization, making it a commonly used functional mushroom among people interested in physical stamina and endurance support.* These strips pair Cordyceps with Lion's Mane to address both cognitive and physical vitality.*
Maitake and Shiitake are both rich in beta-glucans, polysaccharides that have been extensively studied for their role in supporting innate immune function.* Shiitake also contains lentinan and other compounds associated with healthy aging and antioxidant support.* Together they round out the immune and longevity dimensions of the formula.*
Although culinary mushrooms are fungi rather than shellfish and are not classified as major allergens, some individuals have reported sensitivity to mushroom-derived products. If you have a known sensitivity to any mushroom species, culinary or medicinal, consult your physician before use. This product contains four mushroom species: Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Maitake, and Shiitake.
