Why a single-ingredient nootropic
Most nootropic stacks pile 6–10 ingredients into 2 capsules — at doses far below what the research uses. Neural Focus takes the opposite approach: one ingredient, at a meaningful dose, done properly.
1000 mg Organic Lion's Mane
1000 mg of certified organic Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) — a dose in line with human cognition studies. The mushroom is one of the most-studied neurotrophic ingredients in the nootropic literature.
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
Contains hericenones that cross the blood-brain barrier and stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) synthesis. Mori et al. (2009) showed cognitive improvement in older adults after 16 weeks of supplementation.
400 mg standardized to 40% polysaccharides
The formula also includes 400 mg of mushroom fruiting body & mycelium powder standardized to 40% polysaccharides — the compound class most associated with immune and neural support research.
What Neural Focus does NOT contain
No Alpha-GPC, no Citicoline, no L-Tyrosine, no Rhodiola, no L-Theanine. If you want a cholinergic or dopaminergic acute nootropic, look elsewhere. Neural Focus is a long-horizon neurotrophic mushroom formula.
