Host Defense MycoBenefits Sleep* Capsules - Rest Support for Healthy Sleep Quality - Calming Supplement with Magnesium, Lion's Mane & GABA - Aids Balanced Rest Cycles - 60 Capsules (30 Servings)*

Love this product. Both benefits sleep and overall health with the addition of functional mushrooms. Would recommend. Melatonin threw off my hormones so this has been a fantastic alternative.

I believe my sleep has improved.

It works okay as a natural sleep aid. Not as great as larger doses of melatonin. Does not cause stomach upset. Pills seem to be of normal quality.

This stuff works and helps me tons. Don't over do it, take it slow and increase as needed. I was pretty groggy until I figured out my dosing needed. Clean performance.

This is my review of Host Defense MycoBenefits Sleep* Capsules, Calming Supplement with Magnesium, Lion Mane; GABA 60 Capsules (30 Servings).I am very familiar with the founder's (Paul Stamets) history and his products. I have been using them for several years and I do not hesitate to keep going back. Mr. Stamets knew Mushrooms before Mushrooms were cool! I love that there is a thorough education on the studies and benefit of mushrooms on his site. This formula for Sleep support is pretty good. I like to take it about 2 hours ahead of bedtime. It does relax me enough to be able to do a little evening meditation but not fall asleep. I then go to bed needing nothing more and sleep soundly the rest of the night.The capsules are easy to swallow and do not give me any GI problems. This is a bottle of 60 capsules which will last 30 days and the cost is very reasonable. If you have too much noise in your head near bedtime, try taking this a little early and see if you can't enjoy the rest of the evening before bedtime in a relaxed state.

I picked up these sleep capsules because I'm always looking for ways to improve my sleep (and my healthcare team says I need more sleep). These combine mushroom mycelium (Reishi and Lion's Mane) with ingredients like GABA and magnesium.I can't say I've seen a dramatic shift yet, but they seem to offer some calming support. They are easy to take and don't cause any upset.It's a reasonably priced option, especially given the brand's reputation. If you're sensitive to sleep aids, it might take a bit to figure out how much to take for you. I'm still working on it.

I like that this item is made by an actual American mycologist. You can google the guy, Stammets and see all kinds of things about him. The blend here is good for rest, and if you like lions mane and GABA, you are good to go. I take it with more magnesium myself.It is nice to find a product made by real people and not some faceless company in another country....

These capsules by Host Defense bear the simple title "Sleep," promising calm, rest, and relaxation. What makes them unique is that they were created by well-known mycologist Paul Stamets who started his company, Fungi Perfecti, way back in the 20th Century, before mushrooms became mainstream fare. In those days, inapired by Stamet's energy and research, I raised my own mushrooms in Montana, under sterile conditions, fascinated by being a pharmer, so to speak.One thing I learned during that experience, is the same tek Stamets employs successfully in these capsules, namely, the mycelium stage of mushroom cultivation. The important thing to know is that mycelium can be grown and harvested more quickly than mature fruited mushrooms. However, the potency of the active ingredient in mycelium is reduced. This means the ingredient in the fruiting body is more bioavailable in terms of delivering the entourage of terpenoids and phenols, as well as polysaccharides, which provide the immune boosters prized by consumers.According to the Supplement Facts on the label, the capsules include natural sleep aids in addition to the reishi and lion's mane, namely GABA, magnesium, passion flower, and l-theanine. These ingredients make up for the reduction in bioavailability, and make this formula more effective at easing the body to sleep and keeping you asleep, in my experience. The price point is more reasonable with these mycelium-based products, and that makes these Sleep capsules worth a try.
