What each label discloses about Lion's Mane

Lion's Mane coffee brands compared by published label
BrandSpecies in blendLion's Mane disclosureCaffeine
Four Sigmatic, Focus Ground CoffeeLion's Mane, Chaga (2-species blend)250 mg Lion's Mane extract per serving, fruiting body only~150 mg per 12 oz cup
RYZE, Mushroom CoffeeLion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, Turkey Tail, King Trumpet, Shiitake (6-species blend)2 g total blend per serving across all 6 species; no per-species breakdown published~48 mg per serving
MUD\WTR, OriginalLion's Mane, Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps (4-species blend)2,240 mg total mushroom blend per serving across 4 species; no per-species breakdown published~35 mg per serving

Four Sigmatic's Focus blend is the only one of the three that names a specific milligram amount for Lion's Mane on its own product page: 250 mg per serving, from fruiting body only. RYZE's Super6 blend and MUD\WTR's Original blend both disclose a total mushroom weight (2 g and 2,240 mg respectively) split across four to six species combined, with no published breakdown of how much of that total is Lion's Mane specifically.

How far these servings are from a clinical dose

The clinical trial with the clearest published cognitive results used roughly 3,000 mg/day of Lion's Mane, split into three 1,000 mg doses, per Mori et al., 2009. Four Sigmatic's 250 mg disclosed serving is about a twelfth of that dose. RYZE and MUD\WTR don't publish enough information to run the same comparison; their totals include several other species besides Lion's Mane, so no single-species figure can be isolated from the label alone.

For the full research behind the 3 g/day reference dose, see Lion's Mane Dosage & Side Effects. For a deeper look at one of these brands, see the Four Sigmatic review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which mushroom coffee brands include Lion's Mane?

Four Sigmatic's Focus blend, RYZE's Mushroom Coffee, and MUD\WTR's Original blend all list Lion's Mane as an ingredient. Only Four Sigmatic discloses a per-species milligram amount (250 mg); RYZE and MUD\WTR publish a total blend weight across multiple species without a per-species breakdown.

Does Lion's Mane coffee contain a clinically relevant dose?

Not comparable in most cases. The clinical trial with the clearest cognitive results used roughly 3,000 mg/day of Lion's Mane specifically, per Mori et al., 2009. Four Sigmatic's disclosed 250 mg per serving is about a twelfth of that dose; RYZE and MUD\WTR don't publish enough detail to calculate a Lion's Mane-specific comparison at all.

Does Lion's Mane coffee still have caffeine?

Yes, all three brands compared here use real coffee as a base, just less caffeine per serving than a standard cup (Four Sigmatic ~150 mg, RYZE ~48 mg, MUD\WTR ~35 mg). None of them are caffeine-free.
