"If you’re looking for a way to boost focus, memory, and mental clarity, mushrooms might be exactly what you’re looking for. Certain mushrooms contain a medicinal quality called beta-glucans. A 2012 review on products containing beta-glucans found they can help to naturally increase energy, reduce confusion, boost mood, improve recall and memory, and increase vigor. My go-to mushroom blend is Paleovalley NeuroEffect. It contains a potent blend of 8 whole mushrooms, without any grains or fillers like most products, and happily touts a beta-glucan level of at least 26%. PLUS, they’ve included organic coffee fruit extract that gives you the brain-boosting effects of coffee – without the jitters or crashes you get with caffeine.
