FAQ
Fruiting body vs mycelium?
Fruiting-body extracts contain more hericenones and erinacines, the bioactive compounds. Mycelium-on-grain is often mostly grain by weight.
Nerve regeneration claim?
Animal studies show NGF stimulation. Human evidence for cognitive support is small but encouraging.
With coffee?
Yes, a popular pairing. Some products blend the two.
