To me, it works.!
I’m 73 and the memory banks aren’t as good as they were 50 yrs ago. Until my purchase of Brainpower Stack my memory was getting to the point of nonexistent. It was frustrating to say the least. My wife believes fervently in mushrooms and the things they can change and talked me in to trying them. WHOA..!! Almost immediately things began to get better, and better. I have the ability all of a sudden to “recall” things. My memory is getting better, day by day. It’s something that may not seem important to some, but to me, my life is awesome again. I smile again, really, because I have the power to remember things again. And the only thing that has changed in my life is…the mushrooms. Hallelujah..!!!!

A Good First Step Into The Health Benefits Of Mushrooms
This “Host Defense BrainPower Stack Powder—Targeted Brain Support Supplement” is an excellent product for anyone looking to explore the benefits of mushroom supplementation. It features only Lion’s Mane instead of multiple types of mushrooms. The recommended serving size of 1/2 teaspoon suggests it should be well-tolerated by most individuals as long as it isn’t taken on an empty stomach. It is advised to take it with food, as noted on the product label.Brainpower Stack contains 500mcg of B-12 (Methylcobalamin), the preferred form of B12 supplementation, as it is a naturally occurring variant that the body easily utilizes. The Cyanocobalamin form of B12 (which is not found in this product) is less expensive but must be converted by the body into an active form for use.While 500mcg of B12 is a substantial dose, the body only utilizes the required amount and excretes any excess through bodily waste since it is a water-soluble vitamin. Healthline.com reports that a recent study involving 100 older adults supplementing with 500mcg of B12 for 8 weeks found that B12 levels normalized in 90% of the participants. This matters to me because my 96-year-old Navy Veteran Dad was recently diagnosed with a B12 deficiency.Be aware that a 50mg dose of the nicotinic acid form of Niacin (included in this product) may cause a “Niacin flush” within 30 minutes of consumption. Although considered harmless, it can lead to discomfort, primarily in the skin of the face, chest, and arms. This is another reason the product label recommends not taking this product on an empty stomach.

easy to incorporate
The dose of this powder is only 1/4tsp so barely anything. You can mix it into your spaghetti sauce or scrambled eggs and never know. The ingredients are great and will hopefully help promote overall body health as well as improving mental status over time.

Brainpower in a Jar – A Must-Try for Mental Clarity
After taking Host Defense BrainPower Stack Powder for some time, I can honestly claim that it has improved my ability to concentrate and think clearly. I get a substantial boost from the Lion’s Mane and B12 combination without experiencing any nervousness. I like that it comes from Nammex, which guarantees premium mycelium with possible neuro-regenerative advantages. The niacin flush is real, but it’s safe and serves as a reminder that the medicine is effective. It has a moderate flavor that mixes well with water or smoothies. It’s also a good deal because it comes with a few servings. This vitamin is a great choice if you’re serious about brain health and want one supported by actual research. It’s something I will absolutely continue!

Mind Over Matter – Literally
If you’re looking for that extra brain boost, this powder has you covered. Packed with Lion’s Mane, Niacin, and Vitamin B12, it’s like giving your brain a premium upgrade. The taste? Not bad at all—kind of earthy, but nothing that’ll make you gag. I’ve been feeling sharper and more focused, and I’m all about that life. It’s easy to mix into a smoothie or just a glass of water. Plus, 66 servings? Talk about getting your money’s worth. If you want to get into flow mode or just need a little mental clarity, this stack is a game-changer.

Excellent for the Stamets stack (neuro-regenerative effects)
Host Defense is a great brand for mushroom supplements since they source their products directly from Nammex (the mushroom cultivation company founded by one of the most influential researchers in functional mushrooms). Nammex has really high standards for their own products and you can learn quite a lot by checking out their website and Paul’s research.Typically I would call out a product like this for being a mycelium powder from a grain substrate because this normally means you are getting an inferior product (again, check out Paul’s research if you’re interested; he calls out a lot of mushroom producers). Lion’s mane is a bit unique though because research has found that the compounds in the mycelium actually have a larger potential to promote Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) biosynthesis. Said in another way, if you’re looking for potential neuro-regenerative effects, the mycelium might actually be your best bet.My personal recommendation for incorporating Lion’s Mane is to do something like the “Stamets stack” (you can just google it). Essentially, it’s a combination of Lion’s Mane, Niacin (also included in this supplement), and a micro-dose of another mushroom that I’m not sure I can mention here (again, just google it). This combination in particular is incredibly effective, and it has had big impacts in my own personal life as well as everyone I’ve introduced it to. It’s nice that I don’t have to take the niacin separately with this supplement.For simple, quality ingredients from a brand I can trust at a reasonable price, this is definitely a product I’d recommend!
