I’ve used these in 3 different stacks. Stack 1 was 3 caps of genius mushrooms, 500 mg of time released niacin, and a microdose of another mushroom that will not be named. Stack 2 was all of stack 1 plus my bulletproof coffee coffee recipe. That is organic coffee, mct oil, ghee, cayenne pepper, raw cocoa powder, ginger, cumin, turmeric, and a mix of chia, flax, and hemp seeds. Stack 3 is just 3 caps of genious mushrooms, 500mg of niacin, and black coffee. Each stack is taken on an empty stomach, after about 12-16 hours of fasting depending on my schedule and after weightlifting exercise. Now all that being said, here’s my review of each. First of all taking genius mushrooms on their own is very impressive. Enhanced focus, mental clarity, brain fog’s gone, and uplifted mood for the rest of the day. Great stuff! BUT what really surprised me is how AMAZING it is when stacked. I’ve taken stacks 1 and 2 for a few years now and I absolutely love them but I’ve always felt like something was missing. I’m absolutely convinced that this supplement s the missing ingredient. Maybe it’s this little mushroom family having a reunion with the microdose in the stacks that makes it so good but holy crap am I impressed. Basically every good side effect I mentioned gets amplified tenfold with the most amazing wave of euphoria and bliss I’ve ever felt on top of that. It’s absolutely incredible. I started using it for meditation and MAN has that turned into an adventure lol. I convinced my 72 year old step grandfather to try stack 1 because he is a vietnam veteran who still suffers tremendously from ptsd and never seen him so happy. He would take stack 1 every 4 days(never told him what the microdose was) and stack 3 every day except the 4th day. Anyway in short this product is amazing but it’s true potential can only be realized when stacked properly. I highly recommend whoever’s reading this to try these stacks or at least recommend them to anyone suicidal, depressed, or in a bad place in their lives. In my opinion stacks like these are real medicine that allows you to mentally work on yourself, not bandaids these pharmaceutical companies like to sell. Thank you for making this genius. Thank you.

This supplement is pretty awesome and so far, I'm a fan of The Genius Brand. Besides this product, I also recently tried Genius Sleep Aid and would give that one 4/5 stars. This supplement contains 3 of some of the most known medicinal mushrooms that are out there: Lion's Mane, Cordyceps and Reishi. For me personally, I feel like the supplement has helped me adapt to stress (like how an adaptogen feels), gives me more energy (but not like in a stimulant like way, like caffeine), and has also helped me cognition and focus, especially when it comes to things like college work. I also have anxiety disorders - primarily social anxiety and OCD and I feel like the supplement has definitely calmed these issues down and helped me work through them lately for sure. Here's some medicinal qualities of the 3 mushrooms, based of what studies have shown: Lion's Mane - May help alleviate mild symptoms of depression and anxiety, could protect against dementia, reduces heart disease risk, may help fight Cancer, reduces inflammation and can boost the immune system. Cordyceps - May boost exercise performance (mostly through increasing oxygen utilization), increases the body's production of ATP (the main source of energy in every human's body), has potential anti-tumor effects, decreases "bad" cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), may also help fight inflammation. Reishi - Acts an an antioxidant and also helps with inflammation, reduces anxiety and depression, helps prevent Cancer, can be helpful for people with sleeping problems, aids gut health, helpful in relieving symptoms due to allergies. I hope this helps anyone interested in this supplement or looking to try mushrooms as medicine. I've been taking supplements for a little over a decade now of various types and I only recently became interested in trying and researching medicinal types of mushrooms and it's safe to say, I will keep continuing to try these types of natural medicines and research more of them. I'm a Pharmacology major so maybe even one day, I will add this into the types of medicines that I want to study in the future... Read more

The Genius Mushrooms supplement really lives up to its name. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, I noticed better focus, smoother energy throughout the day, and less brain fog. The combination of Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Reishi feels well-balanced — it supports both mental performance and overall well-being. I like that it’s plant-based, organic, and non-GMO with no weird aftertaste or jitters. Excellent quality mushrooms at a fair price. Definitely worth trying if you want natural support for energy and concentration. Read more

I literally felt my brain wake up! These capsules provided me so much mental clarity, focus, and natural energy. I felt amazing. It doesn’t feel like a surge of energy like how it would after drinking an energy drink. It’s more natural. They have a slight mushroom taste, but not bad (and I hate mushrooms). No side effects so far. I’m so happy I found this product! I’ve been much more productive at work! Read more

I have no side effects, but I have no idea if it really works. Did I say that already, that maybe it does help with focus. I have been taking these for 2 months and going on three. Quality seems fair, but I am no expert. Value for the money, no I have seen others with more ingredients cheaper. Read more

they've really helped my energy... I used to feel dozy and had to take naps and haven't had as many issues since taking these. You do have to take what you eat into consideration as well... I've noticed that when I eat things high in carbs or sugars, I still have some issues with doziness. Focus has improved some too... I still get distracted and such, but its easier to stay focused.
