Beauty Bible Loves... Grass & Co. Focus Max Lion's Mane Gummies

Gosh, it can be hard to concentrate right now. The heat… the exhaustion from sleepless nights… and, if you’re stuck in the office, general summer distractions. (Which can make anyone feel a bit ‘off’, if you’re stuck at your desk while all around you, people are out or away having fun!)

So: how to focus? For Jo, these have become a go-to, when she needs to concentrate. And perhaps she shouldn’t be surprised, because Grass & Co. Focus Max Lion’s Mane Gummies* (from a leading brand in mushroom-powered supplementation) draw on emerging research showing that Lion’s Mane mushroom can modestly support cognitive function, processing speed and stress resilience – it’s down to neurotrophic compounds such as hericenones and erinacines, if you want the science bit.

Jo takes one daily, at her desk – and we quote, ‘I really feel my brain is sharper, and that I am weirdly less distracted by things. Can’t explain it – but I really noticed that, after as little as a couple of weeks’ use. I’m on my third pot, now.’

Human trials suggest benefits for memory and attention with daily doses over several weeks – though be aware that evidence is still early and study sizes small. Certainly, gummies like these (and Jo’s particularly keen on the lightly lemony flavour) are becoming ever more popular, for concentration.

And with an impending book launch, a magazine deadline for On The Scent and sundry other work commitments, Jo says: ‘I need all the help with focus that I can get…!’
